      Maybe not on a track, but I've actually done this on trails! Just this past weekend I went back and forth with a few mountain bikers on a longer tempo section of my trail run where I could pass them on the uphills, and they would pass me on the downhills. Running can legitimately be faster on steep uphills and technical sections with rough terrain or sharp turns.

      Its how betting works. Notice how he made them change who bets first for each split. The last person to pick a time has the advantage because they dont need to guess perfectly they just pick one lower or one higher then the other players and they get a win for a large section of time. Say you pick 40 and another picks 41 and I should pick either 39 winning any time slower than 40 or 43 winning any time higher than 41.

      They're really nice bikes, but they're honestly really overpriced. Unless you can drop like $8000 on the top end, you won't get good components. I'd really suggest looking at other brands, especially some of the direct to consumer brands like Canyon, Vitus, Diamondback, Commencal, Nukeproof, etc. I've ridden quite a few of those, and they're incredible! And you pretty much always get higher end components for the same price as a comparable SC bike.

    I can't quite tell if he locked the suspension out, but it definitely would have helped reduce power loss, especially when out of the saddle. Possibly could have the saddle a few mm higher to get the most power out of the legs. But I don't want to be one of those people who nit pick everything, so otherwise great lol.
