@edspratt: ah, didn't know they have no semis for juniors. Thanks for clarifying the number of riders going through to finals. So then frotha missed out by one place, too bad.

So, who actually qualified for semis?

What is sad is that there is no noteworthy (i.e. official/media/non-vlogger) coverage of EWS/EDR. E-bike racing (as a concept) is sad too.

I had the newman eg30. After 30 days of riding, both rims are dinged beyond sealing tubeless anymore. While the front hub bearings are running pretty rough, the rear hub bearings are completely done. As for value, around here they cost exactly the same as dt swiss ex1700 for which I now swapped the newmans out. Remains to be seen if they hold up. Stans flow ex3 held up 3 years so far and counting.

@commental: go rachel =)

So, according to the live timing, adam brayton already did a heater of a finals run. His time of 2.86 seconds will be hard to beat tomorrow.

What did she say?

Too bad they banned petrol fueled chain saws this year. I hope the atmosphere won't take too big of a hit. (Though the reason is not actually emissions)

The increase in points per position is all over the place. If this table is correct, it makes absolutely no sense to me. The only consistent (monotonically increasing) one is women u21. Check the point increase for women elite: 5, 5, 10, 5, 5, 5, 5, huge jump to 20 (?!), Back down to 10, 10, then only 5, 5, then 6 or so times 25, then 50, back down to 25, 50 again, a curveball 45, back down to 30 and finally +70. Honestly, who came up with this?

@ackshen: I don't see how that's relevant though. She coulda just said that she had a rough couple of months and this win means a lot to her. Her feeling the need to flaunt her talent in that situation is what makes it weird to me.
