    The men had to deal with the weather.

    Lot of crashes. I hope no injuries.

    Great job (winning woman)! Glad to see her on top of the podium again. :cool: :thumbsup:

    First womens race was great! Kate Courtney showed her World Champ was no fluke in great form. Her being all muddy and dominant made me tingly in my chamois.
    Emily Batty 28th 7:44 back:( I'm sure she looked great doing it though.
    Anyone know why Annika Langvad pulled out?

    Just catching up on the red bull TV stuff for this now.

    Should be an exciting season for the women's.

    I know there are a lot of man made features, but some of these tracks look like what a lot of folks buy a 160 mm rig for, let alone a 100mm xc bike with no dropper.

    I guess the big difference is the techy down sections are very short and not sustained..


    But still..
    The Lycra Crowd don't play.

    I know the xc races aren't everyone's thing here... And I'll admit as a fan I prefer the Enduro events way more as what I would aspire to as a rider. But there's something raw and primal about a large pack of riders battling it out for a better position at the same time

    Again, really good Women’s XCO Race at Les Gets.

    While not a technical course, it still allowed for some all out racing.

    The Men’s XCO Race went down to the final mins.

    Looks awfully fresh and raw in some spots.

    On the other hand Kate Courtney decided that due to the amount of climbing, she is racing the hardtail.

    It did look like a lot of double track climbs.

    Some sections just look plain awkward

    The wraps are off of Neff's secret frame. I wonder why she still has the shoc covered?

    I was wondering if it is a accepted way to be sleightly more aero.

    Im so sad that Batty is having a lackluster season. I miss her in the champagne parties :inlove:

    ^Exactly that
    Probably why you shouldn't sleep with your coach. They will let you slack off.

    Kate Courtney has been fading as this season has progressed. It will be a great finale between Courtney and Neff in Snowshoe.
