Experience at a young age... or in the case of my boys (stupidity and no consequence), his breathing didn't even change, not even an issue... get on with the job !

For any Crestline fans, Bode Burke up soon. He was 2nd fastest in qualifying, riding a RS181 ebike with motor removed and a BB installed so he can run normal DH drivetrain, with a 200mm linkage.

just watched the 'live' racing and Bode's otb, looks like the headstock snapped off the frame

Andi Kolb let me down. Never trust anyone with a moustache, especially a man.

Moving on up! I took Jordan as a lark because I watched a bunch of wyn and Moi Moi and fast AF, and he just seemed super confident at the moment, and he delivered, I really didn't expect it. Had Asa and Maples to round it out. I dropped vali at the last minute as I really thought Lisa B and Sanchez were going to tear it up but not be. Reece and Pinky were very unexpected in my mind. I can't get over how much Jackson has fallen off.

Kolb looked fantastic in practice. But hey, none of the media picked the right podium either, they were way off.

Crazy results. I genuinely thought with Amaury, Jackson and Asa, it would be a big points haul. I wonder if Jackson’s head has gone a bit?

Thinking about this last night, DH has usually had periods of dominance by one or two riders & that has gone this year. While Vali still bosses it in women's, no clear leader has emerged in men's racing & I don't see that anything much has changed to make it this way other than Bruni, who you would expect to be up there, missing half the season.

Otherwise, all I can think of is various enforced team changes that went on but other than the teams that folded in 2025, riders moving is not unusual & still doesn't account for riders we all thought would continue to excel like Jackson & Asa.
