UCI DH World Cup 2018 Season

Ebike?

But he will win with a flat battery!

I see that there are more and more 29er DH bikes in the pipeline. It will be interesting to see who is and who isn't bothering. Gwin has said he loves his 29er Jeffsy so maybe...

 

Blenki has been testing one and the Commencal, Intense, SC and Trek are far down the road. That said, I can't see 27.5 going anywhere soon.

 

Thoughts?

 

I can imagine that a 29er Tues is in the pipeline. 

 

The current 29er Capra is rated for a dual crown, so I can imagine that YT have strapped a reduced 40 to a few and done some test runs.

Flying over to London on the 1st till the 4th June...If I didnt have concert festival tickets for the Sunday I may be very tempted to hop on a train and head off to Fort William..only 9 hours by train!

Me and some buddies are heading to the La Bresse round this year. Only a 5hr drive. 

 

Might take off a few days and hit up Lac Blanc during the week.

Would be a shame not to.

I'm loving the fact that it's so accessible now... Not this season... But def next season I'm going to make a plan.. Maybe we need to find a central one and organise a get together when they announce 2019 schedule

That sounds E.P.I.C. My mate Tom is doing the Mega then to Morz and then an EWS (I think)

Damned good idea .... done!

i wonder what the opinions on the Round 1 venue will be.

 

To me it looks gnarly enough but a bit short and possibly rather dangerous in places.
