How to Watch the 2023 World Champs
Spot on. I've paid for GCN+ and watched the least f*cking DH in the past few years since Red Bull started streaming it. The World Champs is a sh!t show of note and the bone heads at the UCI wonder why they cant get sponsors.

I'd rather quit riding and take up kak like Padel or Lawn Bowls than ride this.

Review: Bontrager G5 Team Issue Tires
@nicovlogg89: In SA the Bontragers were literally R400 more than the Maxxis average. That's a 30%+ premium for a real piece of sh!t tyre!

Review: Bontrager G5 Team Issue Tires
The worst tyres I've ever used were Bontragers that required plugging basically every ride. After 2 months of slowly raging, I saw my regular rear DHR II was in stock (just in regular EXO+, no inserts) again and since then not a single issue. ZERO. Dozens of rides.
Bontrager tyres can go and jump. Not nice doubles, but off cliffs.
