Blenky qualifies fastest with Gwin close behind on the enduro. Rachel 19 seconds up, crazy. Eddie Masters in 4th place. Going to be a crazy race with the mud, anything could happen.

Brother Wyn qualified in 22th. Forrest in 46th. What bike was/is Ropelato on?
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
think ropo is on the 29er….

enduro 29er with single crown fork.
^sounds like he was on the demo for qualis. about time they finally rolled out on a dh bike. aaron still on the enduro though. makes you wonder if bike selection is partially marketing driven (ie stimulating enduro sales because dh is relatively stagnant).
quali results are all over the place! should be an epic race. hoping for a fresh face on the box.
According to the PB article on the qualies, Ropeleto was back on his Demo.

Oops totally missed the comment above. I guess that's my brain fart for today … need … my … morning … coffee.
Interesting in the Pinkbike article it says Ropelato on the demo with a white boxxer that has Ohlin's internals to match his Ohlin's rear shock.
Also interesting that Gwin was up 5 seconds at the second last split. He could end up crushing again.
Neko has impressive first 2 splits. He's a machine on the pedals also, so something strange must have happened at the bottom.
post-quali chitchat w/ warner is pretty funny. track is bit of a gong show, evidently.

And it will be "proof" to all the forum nerds out there that the Demo must really suck… :rolleyes:
Ahem… And now that he's riding it for round two and quali'd second, cue all the mouth breathers on PB… Seriously, some of the comments are comedy gold!

Missed that bit. Which article? EDIT: found it. Interesting. Could Öhlins and Rock Shox be forming a partnership? Dammit, now I'm gonna have to start another thread asking if I should upgrade and if Öhlins is better than BOS and Avalanche… :rolleyes:
Ride, don't slide.

Interesting, they pulled that quote from below the picture now. Maybe they got their hand slapped by Specialized for spilling the beans.
it's insane that companies can so easily get the media to alter stuff like that, it's in public, people are allowed to speculate, if you don't want people to know, don't bring it out at a world cup.
^like that specialized cat at WBP during Crankworks running what might've been a 650b proto Demo or some shit or SC trying to tell me they were testing a Bronson.
So if they'll easily change a quote on a photo, how easily will they write a favorable review on a new widget…

While they very well could, Ohlins does offer a stand alone cartridge kit for moto forks
and now it's a stand alone article on PB's front page. Ohlins are developing fork internals but claim it's not ready yet.
getting excited for race time. Friday night racing is great, beats Sunday at 5 am.
