Great result for Alan! Now, will all the local Epic owners be upgrading to Scalpels? Asking for a friend 😆

Scalpel owners be like "Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie!" 😜

Only the Brits can make the bronze medalist the key subject of a headline while making it looks like it’s not

They really are a joke. Next time we start Sista Bettina once they start "God save the queen"

You know what amazes me apart from the performances by Candice and Alan, is that despite CSA giving team SA a proper middle finger, they still arrived to support the athletes who got the nod, and this most likely on their own dime. 

This pic of her husband holding the umbrella for Candice speaks volumes. In fact, it is shouting out that CSA are a bunch of wan... never mind.

@Matt we need to review the language policy because what better word to use 🤣

This is how you write it...

Remember that SA team Giant Anthem that took Alan to his first Olympics in Rio.

Incredible result for her, and could even have been so much more. Quite amazing to see such an improvement in XCO after so many years on the scene.

New coach last year, husband fully behind the privateer gig. Can't believe she hasn't been signed up to a factory team already.

 

 

 

 

After her performances this year, I’d expect shes already got some nice options for next season on her table.

So who wears the rainbow jersey at World Cup XCO between TP and AH?
edit: spelling

Edited September 4 by nathrix

[DieselnDust]

Alan. The jersey is valid from the finishline of 2024 to the day before the world championship race in 2025.

hold up, does he *have* to now wear the World Cup leaders jersey at the next World Cup at Lake Placid?

no rainbow jersey?

indeed and when I see a MAMIL draped in rainbow stripes riding a ACME Proper but pre-fueled for a Munga x2 I soema wanna take a can of spray paint and go grafitti. World Champs stripes should be earned the hard way, not bought off a shelf

People can wear what they want mate. I hate this elitist mentality in cycling.

Sure as long as it’s not got WC stripes. 
part of the issues in our world today is that we believe everyone is entitled to anything without earning it.

Also part of the issues in the world is people taking offence to everything.
