Video: Chance Encounter with King Charles While Riding in Scotland
@puukkopedro: I do believe he is referring to King William the First, also known as William the Conqueror who took the throne in 1066. Also known as William the Bastard.

Katy Winton Reveals Uncertain Future as a Full-Time Racer
Jack Moir has it right in the last Downtime Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNju3wrhFdw
You build the story of the race with snippets of racing and interviews with the riders, then reseed the final stage so current leader is last off and you produce / broadcast that stage the same they do Quallies now. This creates the story, and the last stage should end on a nail biter. They mix the top 15 women ahead of the top 30 men in the final stage and then you have a 45 rider race to cover over an hour and a half. It doesn't need the whole course covered, but when has that stopped Crankworx or RedBull previously?
It would be 1000x better than they have right now, and brands will actually have some bang for their bucks.

Video: What's The Big Deal With High-Pivot Mountain Bikes?
I often see people with certain red white and blue flags decry that GMBN or some other video says "Contains Promotional Material" or says "Advert". Comments thus ensue "these guys are just shills", etc etc! Some countries, such as UK, Australia, NZ, others in Europe have laws saying that the message has to be displayed, so they do and everything is transparent.
It appears that this whining is all about this video not having that disclaimer.
Pick your hill peoples!

[UPDATED] Elite Finals Results & Overall Standings from the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
@homerjm: Someone needs to tell Cedric that there is only one speed trap, and on this course it was above the road crossing. The amount of runs (esp. in semis) where he would say "look at the speed - 45km/h" and a rider was on a switch back near the bottom of the course. The speed has been on the screen since about 1-minute into the run, but he thinks it pops up with 1 minute to go. He has no idea how to commentate, and Ric just puppets him. It was so good having Gwin, one for his insight, but, two, it shut Cedric up.

Can someone tell me what happens when you "lose an axle". It appears to be much the same as when a wheel washes out, but I dunno about this new hip lingo that the Irishman speaks...
