    Craig's chances at Worlds

    The one thing I hear over and over again when I talk to the international racers is how much they love racing at Mont Sainte Anne. Doesn't seem to matter whether they are from Europe or North America. That said, that kind of love of a particular course, especially as it will be "home turf"...

    Adam Craig's Pro Bike

    My understanding is that the Yumeya kit is both a cosmetic and a performance upgrade. Of course, the gold trim adds a bit of schnazziness, and I believe the kit also includes items like Titanium bolts and chain pins... which would shave weight off the overall kit.

    Why is MTB racing dead?

    Where I live, here on the East Coast of the US, there do seem to be fewer total MTB races over the course of a given season. I think the demise of many of the super-fun MTB races we used to have in the autumn is due to the timing overlap with the burgeoning cyclo-cross scene. 10-15 years ago...

    Mountain biker taking on a cause

    It's interesting to see a sort-of retired pro mountain biker taking up an important global issue like climate change. Of course, we'll miss Leuchs on the international racing circuit, too. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/leuchs-steps-down-from-international-mountain-bike-racing-circuit...

    Pay to watch MTB World Championships?

    We don't pay to watch nearly all MTB events in the US. Many of the courses cover too much ground to control access and there aren't enough spectators to justify a pay to watch model. Maybe that will change in the future as the sport continues to grow. Some mountain bike races are quite...
