Katy Winton up at the sharp end. Ahead of all Trek Factory riders as well. Must be chuffed. Go Katy!

There is something wrong there!

1st place should only have 520 pts, and 2nd 450, 3rd 420 etc

Should be showing:
Rude 540 (520 + 20 2nd queen)
Moir 475 (450 + 25 1st queen)
Melamed 430 (420 + 10 4th queen)
...

and yes, I am fun at parties!

I suspect this could be due to everything being duplicated on the official results on www.enduroworldseries.com/race/ews-round-1/metewsvaldifassatrentino1/202138/results

If Sam starts the next race further back i'd hate to be the rider starting in front of him and when they hear his thunder....i recon most riders will have blown away the cob webs....

I would not even try to stay on track if he's approaching full throttle ! I'd lay miserably on track side or i'd hug a tree if there is any

@Aksel31: No need to worry. He'll pass cleanly using the inside line.

Aksel31 (Jun 24, 2021 at 5:31)

@mi-bike: Hey mister, how can we avoid each other when he will take the inside line and I will take the french line ?? Seems like a hazardous business !!

The people still whining about Rude's positive test might be the most ridiculous on Pinkbike. You know good and well he's been tested a ton since then and he's been winning since his forst race back. You would think that given the evidence of his domination that people might actually give him the benefit of the doubt that he grabbed Graves' bottle and didn't even know what it's in it since clearly he doesn't need anything to win

Not saying that he is cheating but we all have heard this logic before and it is flawed. Remember this road racer, what was his name again?

Guys like him destroying the mountainbiking. In the beginning you have an amazing spirit and a great community and then money comes in and single persons taking themselves too important.
Take a close look at the vibe at canazai...it is only about competition. Racers getting egostic and it is killing the vibe..wondering why characters like Sam staying out of that hustle?
There is no discussion that he cheated...defending him is the same like all the bullshit stories frim Armstrong or toothpaste gate Dieter Baumann.
It is a shame that it is tolerated by ews, sponsors, the other racers and the bike community...

And you people are probably the same which were always vocal how roadies were all cheats and MTB is the cleanest.

If I made the rules it would be like this: if you get caught even once you are banned for life in any competition/race.

@Gamsjaga: Which road racer? How about the start list of every TDF going back 40yrs.

good job Lukasik

ThePx (Jun 24, 2021 at 7:55)

He is awesome!

@Pinkbike you should update fantasy riders because we can select riders who's not even racing & can't choose those who start

Ceasy (Jun 24, 2021 at 9:19)

So good to see Moir on top. As with Miss Winton there should be a few teammanager biting theire ass for missing out

There are long term benefits from doping, it never truly leaves your system. So Rude, despite being “clean” has given himself an advantage in perpetuity.

Please enlighten us on the effects of Higenamine and Oxilofrine after one has stopped using them, Doctor.
