U23 XC World Champ Samara Maxwell Signs with Rockrider Ford Until 2026
Worth following for sure. The funniest cross-country racer on the series? Must go close to it.

Video: Complete Carnage in Loudenvielle | Story of The Race with Ben Cathro
Nice to see Cathro having access to the race footage. It really helps to understand what went on. Also agree with the value of AG's contributions to the commentary. It felt like the shoe fit so let's hope that we get to benefit more from that in the future.
To me it feels like all the building blocks are there for some first-class coverage of the downhill World Cups. Let's hope that they learn from this season and come back next year with an improved package.

U23 XCC Results from the Andorra XC World Cup 2023
Huh, is Samara Maxwell a privateer? Not a bad result considering, about as good as it gets.

UCI site doesn't give any further information. It looks like the best option for New Zealand will be the UCI YouTube page.

From TVNZ:
Unfortunately TVNZ does not have the rights to UCI cycling so this isn't available on our channels and platforms.
I'll see if I can find out who the NZ rights holder here is, perhaps it's Sky. We've heard from some viewers that TVNZ has been listed as the broadcaster on cycling-related website, but we're unsure of where this information has come from!

I just took a look at the online TV guides. Nothing showing on TVNZ or Sky for this weekend. It's a mystery.

Norco Announces New Fluid VLT eMTB
@theee-a-team: Ah, nice one. That was exactly what I was thinking. Plenty of scope to play around with the ID for the frame and get it looks really nice. Hopefully this integration becomes a trend.

Norco Announces New Fluid VLT eMTB
I wonder how long it will be until e-bikes start having headlights designed into their frame. Seems like low-hanging fruit for differentiation to your competitors, and with moulded carbon frames surely there is plenty of flexibility to add these features for relatively low cost.
Fitting in an evening ride after work? No problem, you can find your way home by switching on your headlight.

[UPDATED] Overall Standings & Final Results from the Pietra Ligure Enduro World Cup 2023
I was wondering the same thing. Nothing mentioned on the GTFactoryRacing gram, and I see that she is now riding a commencal with a bunch of new sponsors, so looking like she's now a privateer. Would be interested to know what went on there.
