[UPDATED - Racing Starts at 14:30 CEST] Schedule Change for the Andorra DH World Cup Due to Extreme Weather
Seriously the weather is bad, yes but it's a little a homemade problem too: the race was moved a couple hundred metres further uphill so the track is half above the last tree.... The old track only hat the middle part on an open surface, the rest was in the woods, so more covered from the wind...
I don't say, that it would be easier to ride in the wet as it was steep as f...k but the Wind wouldn't have such an impact

Kind of nice to see, that even pro riders have to compromise and don't always ride with the latest and most expensive shit on the market

Video: Romain Paulhan & Raphaël Iniguez Take a First Lap of the Loudenvielle World Cup DH Course
seriously I had the same opinion most of the past comments showed but from ~minute 2 it changed my mind.
If you take the first third as a part where you need to avoid loosing too much energy but pushing hard enough not to lose to much time and still having the possibility to charge on the rest of the track this could be a pretty interesting mental game...

Tech Randoms - Val Di Sole DH World Cup 2023
3D print... it's the holy grail of tools you don't need but come super handy...
Had a tiny smile last day they showed a whole bearing press set for XYZ bucks... just build it yourself... it's the easiest task: a couple of cylindres and you're done...
but the Santa cruz looks like it went through hell... I never scratch that plate....

Social Round Up: First Hits at DarkFest 2023
sorry guys but I don't want to talk that down... those jumps are just insane but it's not the biggest jump ever built/jumped... Cam Zink flipped 110ft in 2021...
would have loved to see him being invited for jumping that monster too...

Video : Stop Holding Your Trails Back - Easy Ways to Improve MTB Trails
great to see a pretty complex topic and big problem turned into an ad...
but funny to see that the "Tool kit I have" is full of almost never used tools. When I look in my garage or the places in the forests where I hide them those tools are beaten as if they went through hell...
Maybe for the next time: instead of doing an ad like this invest the hours of filming, cutting, changing clothes in the middle of the forest in rebuilding a trail, do a timelapse and a 10sec ad at the end... this would be heart-warming
