Will Gwin be holding the number 1 plate come season end?
Bruni will be wanting to do what Gwin couldn’t with the Demo – making it a World Cup winning machine.
Loving those bumpers. Like little pillows.
The Specialized set-up definitely had the attention of the fans.
Deathgrip. Plenty of that going at Lourdes. Bren’s death grips are a super soft compound which will be available to us mere mortals soon. Keep your eyes out for the Deathgrip – Sunday Bests. He’ll also be releasing some signature bars within the next month.

ALEXANDRE FAYOLLE is running a lock out device on his shock, not that it’s needed here in Lourdes, but still, it’s an interesting development. Alex and his mechanic built it a few months ago.  We’re sure that Alex has fond memories of the pedal in Cairns, this nice little shifter lock out will make it a lot easier! The lock out has only a fully-on and fully-off switch, you sure wouldn’t want to get em mixed up!
