It's noticeably faster - I've found the Albert can feel a little draggy, especially as a rear tire, and that's not the case with the Romy. Albert front / Romy rear would make sense.

Ticket Packages for 2026 Red Bull Hardline Cypress Announced

Is that bad? I'd rather see shuttles and carpooling happening than hundreds of Tacomas driving up with one surly mountain biker in the driver's seat.

The paving has been going on since July - it's not like they just decided to do it during Hardline.

It sounds there will be a few trackside viewing locations. From the website: "Spectators will have several designated on-mountain viewing options, they include the 'Sector C' which is the lower third of the course trackside, and the mid-mountain spectator viewing area near the road gap. The mid-mountain viewing area is accessible via the Lions chairlift or hiking up the designated spectator access route (45+ minute hike). Access to Sector C is via designated spectator access routes. There are no spectators permitted outside designated viewing areas."
