“our XC athletes have been feeling quite down about their careers lately seeing one press release after another about a fellow, bored or aged XC racer ‘making the move to Enduro.’

Too obvious, as if the UCI give two hoots about mtb… 😆

From now on Track, Road, XC, DH, and BMX will all use the official standardised bicycle.

will all use the official standardised bicycle.

From a British company? Yeah, right…
