It was embarrassing to watch the crowd, and Azinger thinking dropping f-bombs is anywhere near the abuse he and his wife received, is cluelessness beyond belief. I though Rory just saying "shut the F up" was more restrained than he should have been. Unfortunately, this is the state of my...

I'd be totally stoked if Pidcock wins.

Evidently, Mathieu is in LA: View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S6PA5AHH64Y

Fair points, though I would say not in the top 50, if you include professional women. He's slow downhill, and has eaten his share of dirt in sketchy sections. I don't think he can be counted at all as one of the better XCO technicians. He could practice up to that, but the guys who ride...

Looking at it, it is definitely a better course than my initial assessment...I guess I should have waited before deeming it a bike path race. Those are farm roads, and are more beaten than a groomed road. The course actually looks pretty fun. I'd definitely want to ride it if I were there. Lots...

Bike handling in a CX race is not the same as bike handling in a gravel race like Unbound. We've also seen that MVDP is not the greatest at bike handling and riding intelligence, as it relates to XCO. And no, you sitll have to be a bike racer, you just have to also know how to take care of your...

Yes <I thought every response to this thread should be "Yes">

The UCI sanctioning anything gives 0 legitimacy to me and many. For them, it's a "Hey, we can make money off of this" equation, solely. I do agree with your point, as it is exactly what I am talking about. It isn't a separate discipline if WT roadies can just show up an win. Is MVDP more...

That was absurd.

Classless crowd and egotistical players...never before have I wanted the US to lose the Ryder Cup, but that changed this week. Rory spoke the perfect words today. GO EUROPEAN TEAM!!! CRUSH THEM!!!

Yah, he released the bow as well.

That, yes.

Finn did like every victory salute in existence...

We're talking about a world championship course. Yes, there's plenty of gravel events around that distance, but many also include MUCH more climbing. The long cours at Heart of Gold Gravel, which is only 119km, but has 3300meters of climbing, is a far harder course, and that is just a small...

I am going to be a naysayer this year, again. The elite women are only racing 131km?? That should be the fun ride distance. The elite men only 180km?? Again, that is the long course?? Looks like bike paths as well. I do hope one day the UCI will come to the US (though I'm sure there are many...
