Bos Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I agree its far more rider than bike. I'm sure the info is shared, but I got the impression from one of Finn's videos that they each had a set up/data acquisition bike. Perhaps its a question of experience - Loic knows what works better than Finn and arrives at a perfect set up for him more easily while Finn is still thatshing around...Dont want to bore you with yet another Loris/Jordy VLOG but it gets interesting at the end.. I recon, like Gwin, Loic is a strong kid and pushes back as hard as the bike pushes him. Doesnt get pushed out of shape and off line easily and just looks more composed and less on edge, some of the others were getting rag-dolled by those big G-out compressions. Luca also rides like this a bit, I think. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wDcBCfHwE9Y
Spoke101 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Not sure, but I suspect it will be his last year of riding DH professionally. Maybe he should try EWS? Well I can tell you that's not gonna happen. He's just signed for another 3 years. Oh and as for the qualifying crash, he lost time all the way down afterwards because there were some sections that he wasn't prepared to try boost/double with wet muddy gloves/grips.

Odinson Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Who's both excited and a bit 'meh' at the thought of Ft. Bill? It's always an exciting race, but I just love seeing the new (and new 'old' tracks) tracks.

It's always an exciting race, but I just love seeing the new (and new 'old' tracks) tracks. I must say I enjoy any DH WC but I am pretty bored by this track. Those upper rocks are gnarly but the riders must know them so well by now. Time for them to build a new line there I think.
Capricorn Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 hotdamn i'm loving the roasting Gwin earned himself. And it's because of this shady move by him in attempt to hush up a crank breaking after landing at a recent Pro GRT race..
