Just imagine how fun watching hour long liaisons would be! Count me in.

[Updated with Overall Standings] Final Results from the Maydena Enduro World Cup 2023
@Jodaro: Probably worth noting that even with their huge budget and the compact, easily covered layouts, coverage of SX was frequently poor last year, with a reasonable amount of complaints. The MX coverage was even worse, and you only had to go on their social feeds to see how disappointed people were with what they were paying for.
Red Bull could barely even cover 4-5min downhill courses, and that was with a giant budget...

Race Day Photo Epic: Maydena Enduro World Cup 2023
@jokermtb: It's funny how that goes - I can't deal with riding in gloves but pretty much everyone else I ride with us the total opposite. I have tiny little toddler fingers so run the thinnest grips I can find, so I suppose that will play a part for me. Not sure what Booker's excuse is...

Yep. Flat pedals, short sleeves, no gloves - casual! Would have been cool to see him take the win but maybe next time...

@fedfox: Ed Spratt went into it in some detail in an earlier post which featured the official raw practise video.
They didn't manage to get it set up in time and he was having to manually update the scores and setup each round himself, and doesn't have the time to do that this season.

Thought that was a solid effort! Definite improvement from last season. Keen to see how they progress through the year.

@FuTAnT: The UCI don't organise these races. They're sanctioned by them, but they're hands off as far as organising, logistics, broadcasting, etc. goes.

Must Watch: 20 Minutes of Flat Out EWS Racing from Tom Caldwell & Misspent Summers in 'Cosmic'
@EdSawyer: In a way they are. The liaison times at a few rounds this year were relatively short, which led to riders having to ride at a pretty high pace to make their start times for the next stage. If you have a mechanical you need to fix you're having to try and make that time up too. It's not XC obviously but it's not like they're getting casually shuttled to every stage either.

How to Choose the Right Size Mountain Bike in 2023
Not as such. The thinking here is that if you're familiar with a trail and know the lines, having a longer bike will theoretically allow you ride that line faster.
If you don't know the trail you're less likely to know the line to take so will need to adjust more on the fly, at which point a shorter bike's better agility will be useful.
It's part of the reason the EWS guys and girls downsize (that and Euro switchbacks).

Red Bull Hardline Returns for 2023
@rich-2000: Yep. I'm meeting two friends from elsewhere in the UK on the way there, we're ditching two of the cars and doing the last hour or so each way in one car. It's a little inconvenient for us in some ways, but it means that more people overall get to go than if we'd all come in separate cars with only one occupant. There isn't a huge amount of parking there so it's a good way of maximising the amount of people who can actually get there even if it's a little unusual.
