After a long off season, the first round of the 2019 World Cup is just days away. Unlike 2018, the first round of the 2019 World Cup is returning to an old classic in Maribor and a conveniently timed IXS European Cup means top riders were racing the track last weekend.

 I was thinking the same... Collusion?
  • 8 9
 @RGonz: since it doesnt appear any evidence is actually required to label it collusion then sure, collusion!

 @thesharkman: no collusion on these bikes, but still plenty of criminal behavior.

 That new demo looks amazing, but it's hard to beat the looks of the previous demo, it was the best looking bike ever made IMO

 is the race Sunday or Saturday?? how come the fantasy team deadline is tonight? shouldn't it close the night before the event? we could at least have quallies to observe then make an informed decision!

 Nevermind, they changed it to saturday morning.

 Race is Sunday. Fantasy deadline is Saturday morning (depending where you live). You get timed training before the deadline, if that helps at all.

 I never really understood what Instagram is. Or what the point of it is rather. Is it just for stalkers and fanboys?

 Tahnee makes almost as many weird noises as Claudio
  • 1 2
 The only difference is Tahnee isn't as annoying. For some reason Claudio's voice irritates my ears, really bad. Nothing personnal Claudio...

 Now if Wyn can keep pedalling like that. Great training, who needs gym?
