    1. The Caloi, the bike that the real triangle snapped sending Avancini over the bars into boulders two weeks ago, another cheap piece of Brazilian garbage.

    2. Avancini bike sucks, and the bikes becoming heavier, couple years back full suspension bikes were below 10kg , now their weighing nearly mid 10kg .
      Jolanda Neffs bike is so heavy that she doesn't want to tells us the weight .

    3. Downcountry suspension set-up and frame geometry, wide rims and tires, plus a seat dropper = the modern XC race bike. Adding a few pounds of bike weight to get a more capable & forgiving bike is absolutely the way to go. After going from a hardtail to a DC bike a couple of years ago, I am fully bought in and having more fun on the downhills too.

    4. Jolanda doesn’t know tech specifics, but I know one girl who really good in bike tech, she name is Gunn-Rita Dahle

    5. why did avencini left cannondale and go to a no name brand? and btw bike doesnt really matter that much, ineos riders slayed on non branded BMC bikes just like on new pinarello mtb…

    6. Jolanda is the most fun to watch ride or interviewed, she seams less like a racer and more like a mountain biker who just happens to be really good at racing.
