I know a lot of people don’t like Gwin but he really is a magnificent rider. Total mancrush here.
There was that quite “controversial” blogger/journalist who wrote an article on how MTB suspension is being hampered by clutches and derailleurs, I bet he’s got a massive grin on now.
When Neko Mulally lost his chain and came in 4th, Chris Porter claimed he went faster because his suspension was working better without the chain, and reckoned it proved him right. Neko, otoh, said: “I guess I changed my mindset because I had nothing to lose and just pinned it.” So yeah, he will probably have a massive grin but that’s because he’s a fanny.
