UCI DH World Cup 2020 - 2021 Season

[MrJacques]

Good race, so close at the end.

The French are absolutely dominating. The percentages favour a French winner, but top four in the men and a woman winner to boot is incredible.

Super happy for Vergier. Feel like he really deserved that and his exuberant demeanor is endearing.

 

Pity the Goat was showing his age this week. Much harder to recover within a week, especially when you consider the mandatory partying that took place after last Sunday.

The commentators said that he has a back injury of some kind. But yeah, it takes longer to recover when you're older.

I would say it is more the back than his age being an issue this weekend ...... oh, and some serious partying

I was watching that and for the first 1/3 I was quietly thinking it does not look bad, I'd ride that any day of the week, and twice on Sunday's. Then he hit the rocky parts....and that double drop - oh my quivering knees.

No wonder he's the GOAT and I'm not.

Bruni's frame for the double-header. Looks like a bike you'd find on our classifieds labelled "mint"....

[Duane_Bosch]

OMGGGGGG!!!!! That is amazing!!! That's the most original and cool frame spray I've ever seen. Bravo Spez

 

There's a trend for hot rods to have a bit of patina rather than a super gloss high end finish nowadays. Call them Rat Rods if you will. That is so cool. So American.

For me that is the best custom job for a bike I've ever seen. Question is. Is it real or clever spray work? Can't be real surely. Ali doesn't rust like that. Or am I wrong?
