Saracen's 27.5'' and 29'' Myst DH Bike - Lošinj DH World Cup 2018
I wonder how many Myst are sold per year, and whether it justifies the investment in the factory bike? I know WC DH is a loss-leader for most firms, but its a serious investment.

Nino Hits the World Cup Season Opener XC Track with Andrew Neethling - Video
@jclnv: He has said he is doing the full WC this year. He wants to see the effect it has doing full CX and straight into WC, so he can work out his prep for 2020 Olympics

DH World Cup Round 1: Building the Lošinj Track - Video
I think the track will surprise a lot of people and be really good. Riders have been saying for years they want more natural tracks... now they have one.

Old As Dirt: XC World Cup 2, Albstadt – Course Preview
It will be interesting to see how VdP handles the longer climbs, compared to the punchy ones last week.
With a high grid position he won't get caught up in much traffic and it will be great to see him going for it. He is also known in CX for sitting in for the first lap and then when he puts the hammer down... boom.

Rumble in the Czech Jungle: Nove Mesto XC World Cup - U23 Women and Elite Men Race Recap
I'm a big MvDP fan, and really hope he does some more WC's.
It will be interesting to see how he copes with a real climbers XC course. The race yesterday was similar in a few ways to a WC CX course in that the climbs were punchy, and MvDP has got that in spades. But a long drawn out skinny climb? He might nail it, and he I hope he rides more to see how he fares.
He certainly has the skills to match Nino!

Revelations - Lourdes Finals - DH WC Round 1
Anyone else notice how Gwin struggled to stop in the finish area (feet out and everything)? Brakes cooked? Still getting those TRP ones working correctly?
