CANDICE LILL!!!

Didnt even know this happened.

Respect. Lill is really turning out some super consistent results 👏

Beers 30th @ 16mins down. Obviously a technical of some sorts!?

[DieselnDust]

Not as far as I know. The coverage was however nothing short of spectacularly non existent. 
it was a fast race in muddy conditions. I think he just struggled against a big field of XCO racers . Alex finished 22nd and Matt 30th

True, could not find anything other than the start on Snowshoemtn’s Instagram. We had 8 or 9 people racing based on other people’s Instagram posts.

Don’t know why I struggle to watch this these days. Is it just me and everyone else watches as religiously?

I watched religiously until last year .... This year I think I've watched one, after the fact and that's about it. Just check the results now 

I don't jump through hoops to watch .....

That what I thought too when I did the arithmetic that was eventually confirmed by the updated points table with Alan 259 pts clear of Koretzky with only 250 available for a win and 0 for dnf but he commentators were on about VK having a mathematical chance. So either their arithmetic didn’t arith or the XCC plays a part with 30pts available for a XCC win and 20pts for second. 
i thought the XCC pts didn’t count toward the XCO points table but apparently its does hence the mathematical chance for VK. Checking through the rule book to clarify as I have not seen Alan announce of his insta feed that the overall is wrapped up and they didn’t have a ceremony for it after the race
