 BOMBA

 It’s super nice to see pink bike put up the standings (as ews hasn’t actually updated it yet) but can you pretty please make them bigger so I can read them - they are just a blur right now. Chur

 @enduroNZ: Sorry they are as big as we can make them, but you can view them here as well. https://admin.enduroworldseries.com/uploads/documents/races/1660514780.pdf

 @edspratt: Since you are hosting beautiful high-resolution photos on this site all the time, this statement makes no sense. The PDFs you linked to are perfectly legible, hence you can create high-res images of them that people can actually read.

 @edspratt: It seems to be an issue with viewing them on a the mobile version of your site. I also could not read anything this morning, even when opening the photos directly. But now I'm on my computer and they are perfectly high res, yet still impossible to read on my phone. Hopefully this feedback helps you pinpoint the issue.

 @edspratt: This is an issue for seemingly all results posted on PB. It's either a situation like this where a PDF gets copy-pasted, or an image file of text is posted (not allowing for basic text searching). Hire someone (how about me?) to build PB a results parser! Then you'll have the data in a standardized format and can make your own frontend to view it. Would love to work on something like that.

 @mi-bike: The images are actually in a pretty high resolution already. I'm not sure why they come out blurry on the site as they look fine before uploading and if you download one of the images they are clear again. As pointed out it seems they are completely unreadable on mobile but fine on desktop so we will have a look into this and try and find something that works better.

 @edspratt: thanks!

 @edspratt: this is an issue for all photos and pictures on the site. On mobile when you open the picture it doesn’t redirect you to higher res version, just the same blurry pic on a separate page, if this can be fixed that would be HUGE.

 @fedfox: no more Mr. Porco

 @edspratt: just include this link on the page and then it’s all gravy

 @MysticMCyclist: how dare you be positive.

 I think theres alot "enjoying ourselves" going on there.

 What's the trg program about?

 so stoked to see Ed and Wax get solid results, also moi moi back on top, how good

 The pivot crew is honestly one of the best teams out there to watch ride bikes and have all around fun

 Watching the stage results and overall times over the last couple races is mind boggling how Masters and Walker are always on the same second.

 Its because the new Conti tyres

 @Matinsky: It is interesting to see results pouring in for Conti gravity riders since these new "-Tal" series tires came out. It has been a genuine head-scratcher that the Continental has utterly dominated the performance road tire segment for the last 15yrs since the debut of Black-Chili rubber, but their trail and gravity tires have been so far off the back, that you simply never see them in North America. Looking forward to trying a new Tal combo: would be really nice to have a third brand I trust making MTB tires worth buying.

 @powturn: if they finally sorted out the casing issues then these def would be great, that was my only complaint with prior generation of conti’s. Black chili is super legit

 @powturn: Maxxis and what? Schwalbe? Michelin?

 @BrambleLee: Good guesses, but on local "cheesgrater" soil (brick-hard clay embedded w/ decomposed granite) Schwalbe knobs won't stay on my tires for more than a month, so even though I trust the grip of Marys and Nics, I can't trust the durability. Michelin let me down a lot when I used to race marathons in Europe, so while I'd gladly test any of their newer tires, they'd have to be free samples before I entrust them with cash $$. Maxxis was correct choice for gravity-oriented tires. Conti 4000/5000 series have been on all road bikes for last 15yrs. Am using a third brand for XC to fast-rolling trail duty: it's all about dust-on-crust hardpack performance in Sierra foothills from April to November. Any guesses as to make / models?

 @powturn: stickier than your mom on prom night

 @powturn: Vittoria?

 @alanbonk: TNT casings on Barzo and Mezcal were miles behind EXO or even Snakeskin standards: had more punctures on Vittoria's XC tires than anything since Bontrager's execrable first-generation TLR XR4. Keep at it guys, you're narrowing down the field ;~>

 @artistformlyknowasdan:
I have a little more than a month with lots of riding on the new Conti Kryptotal F (DH casing) and R (Enduro casing) on my Madonna. They are very predictable and offer outstanding grip in dusty and dry and also in wet conditions.

Casings are 100% true, none of the crazy wobble a good percentage of the older contis had from new.

Durability seems to be better than Maxxis Max Terra(!) - even though both tires are softer compounds.

While I find the trusted DHF DHR combo totally acceptable, the new Contis feel absolutely better to me.
They roll surprisingly well, too.

Where they absolutely are without competition is in wet conditions around freezing temperature with a lot of roots. Night and day advantage.

In other conditions a lot of other rubber works decent as well.

 @znarf: Yeah the conti compounds always have been great. Especially in cold temperatures where e.g. Maxxis is shit. The Baron Projekt was my go-to tire in the winter for years and performed really well in all conditions but hardpack.
The Kaiser is a great tire as well, but only on hardpack trails. Now that they have new treads, they have an awesome tire for most conditions with the Kryptotal. And the durability of Contis has always been very good for the grip they offer.

 @powturn: Kenda

 @powturn: WTB?

 @powturn: May I suggest you try out the new stuff from Specialized.

 @znarf: thanks for the beta, looks like I’ll have to try some

 @powturn: gotta be talking WTB. While I personally haven't had a lot of luck with them, they're all over the Sierra.

 @TheBearDen: Bingo! Prev. gen. Specialized Ground Controls & Fast Trak Grids were already perfect balance-of-skills tires for fast & light hardpack riding. The updated tread designs only elevate the consistency of their cornering grip. With the new Grid Trail casing on top of a tread & compound overhaul for the Butcher, I was even shocked to discover that I was just as happy on a T9/T7 dual Butcher setup that I swapped in for a Minion DHF 3C /DHR Dual combo that wasn't in stock when it came time to put new sneakers on the big bike. *YMMV caveat:* 2 buddies who rip have sworn off both Grid & Grid Trail casings due to punctures. One of them outweighs me by 50lbs, and the other is ex-moto racer who always charges the fastest and most direct line his bike can survive, rubber be damned. If you're on a shorter-travel bike, can ride smart & float the nasty sections of XC - AM trails, the Grid GCs and FTs are amazing strategic weapons that offer far better balance of rolling speed, grip, & treadwear than anything else in the category. If you're already riding Double Downs 24/7 to keep air in your tires, this segment of the Specialized lineup doesn't come in casings burly enough for your needs, so look elsewhere.

 37th on the Pro stage too!

 What will he enlist as a microphone though?? Post your prediction . I think he’ll use a crank arm…with pedal attached.

 @BenLow2019: A CO2 or pump.

 Oxygen mask.

 @BenLow2019: His bike.

 Just when I was thinking it was a 2 man race

 He’s back up to speed! Yea moi moi!!

 @stokedrightnow : Back to back stage wins.

 moimoi going for total stage domination so far!

 well not anymore, still cool though

 Go Miles!

 that guy is a Revel

 @Lagr1980: who’s on the Revel?

 @Lagr1980:
Whooosh nvm

 Hell yeah Chris!!!

 @Funkylicious: Yep the mans a boss.

 Appreciate your comment bringing attention to this, which would otherwise fly under the radar of a casual observer like me. Way to go Mary!

 Yes it is.

 Link?

 @timbrewolff: www.vitalmtb.com/videos/features/SQUIDS-in-the-USA-Burke-Mountain-EWS,40284/sspomer,2
Looks like Sven called it after all.

 It works on my PC,ipad and android phone.

 @MysticMCyclist: I can't make it work in any of my devices

 I have criticized the EWS but today it work just fine

 Saw her at the bottom, didn’t seem very happy with her result, chain was off the chainring too.

 Charging! Hell yeah Chris!

 He is indeed

 Saw on insta he rode there from Montreal! Wild.

 He rode from Whistler to Vancouver, got on a plane, then rode Montreal to Burke. I'm sure he will ride to Sugarloaf, it's not that far.

 @pisgahgnar: The kid's a good follow on Strava. He put in 253 km in 13.5 hours (avg speed almost 19 km/h) after getting off the plane in Montreal. www.strava.com/activities/7616522510?utm_source=com.whatsapp&utm_medium=referral

 Stoked to see him get good results after being out with injury

 He's on the Tyee. The turqoise colour is Tyee-only and I don't think, he'd put a Lyric on the Spindrift...

 It's 100% a tyee

 Future looks bright for him!

 Unfortunately, something happened at S2 and he lost a minute.

 Pound, Dick

 It will be the UCI. Everything is there fault apparently

 @cypher74: where fault?

 She'd go even better with a fork that didnt sit in the last 30% of travel the whole way down.

 @HeatedRotor: I’ve just had a look at her photos and videos and it seems fine. But your the pinkbike comments expert so I guess we have to take your opinion as gospel over pro riders and teams set up abilities haha

 @Lololmalol: i made a little joke based on all the insta videos from DVO NZ. you can see her having to pull the front back up in many sections that other riders are not.

my opinion is just that, if you take it as gospel thats on you lol. its pinkbike comments, dont take it so seriously haha

 @HeatedRotor: post a link. I can’t see it

 @Lololmalol: just like the insta page and it pops up in the reels or stories or whatever they call it.

 @HeatedRotor: I can see that page but I can’t see and example's of what you’re talking about. All the forks seem dialled

 @Lololmalol: Theres clips of rae from the last several rounds over the season so far where the fork is getting down and kinda stays down, then you watch other riders and those same sections(all dvo riders) stay high.

Maybe just wait, jesse posts the DVO riders heaps.

This isnt a serious thing and may suit her, but its a joke us locals use in NZ about DVO haha.

 @HeatedRotor: I’m just genuinely curious as a suspension geek. But I can’t see any examples of it so if you have a link to one that would be interesting to look at

 Steady Eddie in 5th forever too lol..

 I think he was seen with a flat at the end of the stage

 @loamlypines: shame I was thinking he would do well on those trails, for tomorrow.

 i was going to ask the same, i really want him to pull a aaron gwin and be back up with the fast guys. I even purchased 3 Nukeproofs this year to help support Nukeproof team.

 I was just about to ask what in Sam Hill is going on?
I tend to root for the guy, and I don't know why.

 It sure would be fun to see him give enduro a try!

 you got that right!

 Major props to all the local boys and girls racing elite! More than a few top 50s.

 SUP-BRO's are pulling for ya Max!

 theres DH matt walker then enduro matt walker. two different people, i believe DH MW rides for saracen? the enduro MW is on a pivot.

 @HeatedRotor: Matt Walker is the Tyler Durden of mountain biking.

 One British and one Kiwi

 They should list him as E-Matt Walker?

 Actually, one is Matt Limper and the other is Matt Walker.

 @HeatedRotor: they both ride downhill, british Matt Walker gets down a bit faster though

 @likeittacky: hahahahaha!!! Yes!!

 Definitely! Just a shame it took Jack a few rounds to get back up to speed meaning the series standings aren't quite as tight as the racing is now. A good few rounds to go at least...

 He crashed on the pro stage

 EWS don't race the "Pro Stage" on Saturday.

 Positive covid test

 @AndrewHornor: longhorns strikes again

 @mlr428: lol how juvenile of you to think that someone feeling like shit from a respiratory illness shouldn’t sit out an athletic event. There are no regular covid tests required for participation anymore. She felt shitty so took a test and it was positive. She decided to rest and isolate, probably also to make sure she doesn’t get her teammate sick, who happens to be the current series leader.

 @pisgahgnar: Yes, all of that.
I had a fairly mild case last winter, and I couldn't do anything active for a week. Took a couple weeks more to get back my full lung capacity.

 @mlr428: How pathetic, thinking racers shouldn't care about a contagious respiratory illness that affects their own performance as well as their teammates. I had it, absolutely wrecked my ability to exercise. Go take your politically charged stance on an illness somewhere else.

 @spottba: no politics about this. Get your head out of the sand. Covid was all about control. Pushing a bunch of shots that don’t even work. Vaccines work.

 @mlr428: no one even mentioned vaccines. We are talking about having the actual illness. She got sick, tested positive, and pulled out to avoid getting other people sick. Not politically charged my ass.

 it’s actually dried up a lot!

 apparently "only" snapped chain

 I did the same! Just winging it!
