They said she was all in for World Championships and won't be coming to race at Snowshoe, either.

What about Jolanda? Mechanical or?

As stated above: just because you can inhale more air, doesn't mean you improve the ability to utilize it. See link to study below. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12131262/

Will anyone be racing this in the coming soon Fantasy League?

@sino428: I did a 50k running race in Virginia a few years back and performed CPR on a racer who collapsed (and ultimately died) in the race. It is obviously a consolation for the living to say, "he died doing what he loved". I believe this is true (for Graham) as he had competed in the event for multiple years and was active in his local running group. For me, I really struggled with sadness and depression in coping with the fact that someone died in an event that is optional and arguably frivolous. I'm sure that Graham didn't wake up that morning knowing it was going to be this last day but it does help me to put into context that if I died doing something that brought me great joy; my family (I hope) would feel comforted in this fact and my kids would know that they can pursue their passions as well. However, I will NEVER be climbing Everest. That's dumb.

Yeah I saw emergency vehicles headed up St. Kevin's as I was descending as well. There were a few rescue persons with someone off the trail (road) on the left side. There was also a rider-car head on collision for someone coming down Columbine but I saw on Twitter that the person's sister-in-law said they were broken but alive.

Even some of the bigger names that were there finished behind some names that aren't that familiar. Cink, Marotte and even Tempier finishing a lap down! Strange results for sure. Good on Lars Forster FTW!

Now if SR Suntour could just fill the orders...........
