Results: Sacha Earnest & Ethan Craik Win Elite Q2 Qualifying at the 2026 Lake Placid DH World Cup
I bet the commentators won't know this during the broadcast of the final.

Who Will Win the 2026 DH World Cup Overall Titles at Lake Placid?
Asa crashed in Loudenvielle and was subsequently disqualified for not re-entering the track at the correct course marker (that was some B.S.). He also crashed at the next race in Leogang. He's had good results at all other races. 1st in Korea and Whistler. 2nd in La Thuile. 3rd in Lenzerheide. 4th in Andorra. And 6th in Les Gets. For Lake Placid, I'd say Asa's goal is primarily to ensure he qualifies for the final and doesn't crash. More than likely, that will give him the result he needs.
For Jordan and Amaury, I bet they throw all their chips in for the win.

Rainy Day Tech Randoms - Whistler DH World Cup 2026
At first glance, I thought that was the Sinter brake bedding machine and it caught fire.

Results: Mille Johnset & Tegan Cruz Win the Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne Downhill Finals
Races were won and lost in sector 1, which is somewhere around 1 min 20 sec, but we only got to see about 15 seconds of footage. Sector one was basically a black box for the viewer. So many riders were out of touch by split one so the rest of the run was lacking in excitement. Bummer.

That photo of the two riders ripping berms is sick.

Bike Check: Myriam Nicole's Commencal Supreme DH - 2026 Val di Sole DH World Championships
I can’t imagine having a matching chain stay and reach. I’m 6’3” and prefer a reach somewhere between 490-500mm. A rear center that long would be insane. I think that would be a wheelbase of around 1350mm.

How to Watch the 2026 Mountain Bike World Championships
I was looking all around for a free trial but couldn't find anything. I settled for a 1-month period for $15. Come to think of it, that's about what I'd pay to watch the world champs if I have to pay at all. But $40 to Flo is insane.
