 @wburnes: More important: Do his brake cables go through the headset so he can save 60 grams?

 Unreal that he still smokes all the young guns almost 20 years on. What a phenomenon and career. One of the standout talents of the generation.

 @FredrikWestman: Heard of Greg Minnaar?

 Someone should really include him in bike videos, like that Clay Porter guy or those Anthill Films guys or something. Along with that MacDonald guy. Must be some sick edits with those two..

 @wburnes: that definitely looked like a race where flat would have been helpful. You obviously want to plan for success, keep your feet on and all that, but a lot of riders who didn't crash seemed, nevertheless, to be struggling to clip in.

 @wburnes: yeah but clips win like a lot more medals so what’s your point

 @thisspock: how many races has Sam Hill won on clips? Exactly. All Rampage winners too.

Clips are cringe, flats are based

 @wburnes: one guy compare to 100's on clip. Gwin, bruni, Hart, Brosnan, Pierron, Iles, Goldstone, Minaar. Should I keep going :p

 Blenki looks like he’s riding for a sponsor next year. Has he got a deal yet, with the Norco team folding?

 Well in Louise Ferguson, Dan Booker :-)

 I love watching *any* race, it's awesome, but that was my least favourite. Mud just seemed to sap the speed and excitement, became more about just getting down the hill.
