The Danny/nukeproof thing is still funny?

Seems likely Sam is going to Foes. As long as he lines up to race something, it’ll be good.

Definitely some heavy hints that’s for sure.

I'm curious if Myriam will be lining up next week at Fort Bill. She just posted an update on her thumb injury two days ago (6 weeks post-op), but there was no mention of whether she's racing or not. I would absolutely love to see her back, even if she's still building back to form.

Sorry if this is dumb: I had the same surgery this winter and I think riding after 6 weeks would be possible as a pro with nothing to do but heal/recover, maybe, but would've been really on the edge. That track seems rough on the hands too, so I wouldn't expect much if she does race.

Not a dumb question at all. My answer is maybe. You’re right pros heal exponentially faster than us common folk. I could see her rolling down the track to get those valuable points just like slopestyle athletes sometimes do.

I’m not sure they heal faster, I think it’s more that they’re willing to take strong painkillers and risk re-injury or more long term side effects/pain compared to “us common folk”. The painkiller use in professional sports seems to be getting talked about more though, so hopefully that changes in the future.

Always hilarious for world champions to run the rainbow stripes years after they have won. Your world champion for a moment not forever.

I’ll wash a Percocet down with a Tecate right now. I am willing. Willing to go the extra mile. 
 

I am. Pro.

UCI allows ex world champions to run stripes on their collar in the discipline they won the champs in perpetuity. To indicate they are one of the champions at some point.

For a lot of pros when they say painkiller they mean max dose of ibuprofen and Tylenol.

Man...in the late 90's, early 2000's when a pro contract had the rumour of 7 figure money b/c of Peaty, Palmer & Schley...SO, SO many dudes had the not so bright idea of having doctors rig a cast that had a hole to slide onto the bars to salvage points.

More than one of my buddies duct taped their fokking hand to the bar at various times.
Heck, I remember Steve...something from Cali came drove his old T100 all the way up to Mt. Snow, yanked a gap over a dip above the waterfall section, shoulder comes out of socket on the pull and lands backside with no shoulder. It gets slapped back into place by the fall & he gets up and finishes with it.  HE said it did it multiple times but he was on the hunt for points & wasn't stopping.  He'd worked all winter to save up for the year's racing.

Dudes at Alabama Bump & Grind had UCI points and Todd Bosch & 2 others disintegrated arms & shoulders on a tiny DH hunting UCI points.  They would roll/walk down in slings just to stop the clock to get a UCI point.

I can't imagine the "ibuprofen/tylenol" thing being the fullest extent people go to now.  It's got to be way more than just some OTC pills and a tough mindset.  Grinning
