Does Pinarello have a bike for them yet? I can't remember what the time frame was. They aren't on the USA Pinarello site.

The Dutch Olympic men's MTB problem:
www.wielerflits.nl
Mathieu van der Poel en Milan Vader staan voor zware Olympische mountainbike-missie
Special Mathieu van der Poel droomt nog altijd van mountainbike-goud op de Olympische Spelen van volgend jaar in Parijs. De 28-jarige alleskunner staat voor een moeilijke opgave, want Nederland loopt ver achter op de plekken die recht geven op kwalificatie. MVDP zal met andere woorden veel meer...
A hardtail would be easy enough to miss, but an FS would be obvious for sure.

It seems Rissveds prepare on the roads. Last weekend she compted against men in a national race and this week she is riding the Orlova Tour in Czech Republic. Second today in a murito finish. Last year she was second overall and then had good form in first MTB races. Illness destroyed her seasons though as she was forced to pull of the last rounds and the Worlds.
I read an interview where she said the main difference this year is that she went away from a vegan diet. She would like to eat vegan on etichal grounds but it is hard to do it while being a pro

She won the Swedish National road race last season - and by a long way.
I think her and PFP are the only top riders who have yet to race any MTB this season.....though that changes tomorrow when PFP comes back.

It all seems to have gone a bit quiet since Pinarello indicated that a new bike was being developed. It looks like it might be next year before it arrives.
Pinarello have been launching a number of new bikes recently, mainly gravel.

Yeah she is very strong on roads aswell, and considering how well some of her MTB peers are doing I am sure she could achieved great things there if she wanted. However she doesn’t like the atmosphere in the pro teams so she is unlikely to go for it I think she”ll just race a few races in the national team. She was scheduled to compete in Wollongong but illness stopped that.
There are a lot of plant based proteins that are 'cleaner burning' so I'm not too sure about that statement.

I guess there is a logistics component aswell. One thing doing it at home but if you are on the fly as often as she is, I guess it makes it harder.

Vegans suffer from depression more than omnivores. It's easier to be fast when you're not depressed.

New bike for Pidcock.
He's been using covert BMC bikes in the past but I'm not sure the one he used today is the new Fourstroke. I think the rear triangle of the fork links in line with the chainring in the Fourstroke while from the pictures I've seen it seems the bottom of the rear triangle links above the chainring in the bike he used today.

Not if they supplement with tequila!
Bike riding/racing make everyone's' mood better!
Disclaimer: I'm not making light of people who actually suffer from clinical depression.

I think the same thing. If P put the right people together, the timeline is doable. Daniel claims that in his Twitter post.
That is horrible 'camo'! It makes it standout more, and doesn't hide anything really. They would be better off having an all black bike that no one notices.

They said some sort of mechanical. He's running a prototype fork and frame...maybe the durability isn't there yet.

I wonder how far in the development of the bike they are. Is it ready and reliable for World Cup use, where he needs ranking points.
Chur this weekend could be a good test, seems like it could be a mini World Cup, and there is Red Bull TV coverage, albeit without English language.
