Staff Rides: Matt Wragg's Workhorse YT Decoy 29
@Chondog94: battery still going well after 3,500km and 2 years, although I have the 720Wh on the way as, well, why not?

Exploring France's Secret Bikeparks - Vars
No, and it was not great on that side when we went there in 2021, either. And Embrun details are cunningly hidden on the mtb part of the Vars website. ;)

Because you have to strip the fork to change shims but you can change a CTS in the car park...

@Muscovir: You have to remember that nobody was sure what was going to be the right bike back then... the wildest, for my money, was Max Schumann's IBC-designed bike. I mean, would you trust the comments section to design a bike for you to race?

Horrible? I rode one a little and they were pretty fun, to the extent that after riding one I spent quite a while chasing Cannondale to try and get my hands on one (ideally without the long-travel 32 they specced them with, admittedly).

Other than the 29er that Tracy Moseley won the womens race on? Admittedly there weren't many amongst the men, I remember Brian Lopes riding one and I have a feeling Curtis Keene might have had an Enduro 29 (although, if I remember, they didn't launch that until the Finale Ligure round that season).

Nope."French lines" pre-date this event by quite a way. One of the early instances was actually at the Tribe 10,000, the first mtb enduro race, a decade earlier... and I think it was a common phrase from WC DH too.
