Chris Ball?

I can only assume they're planning a Hall of Horrors to go alongside the Hall of Fame.

Huh, didn't realise the hall of fame was run by the UCI

into the international, televised sport that we know today.

10mins of crap Youtube coverage (approx 5mins actual riding footage) really doesn't count. If it does then Jack Moir should be going into the hall of fame instead

@reeksy Chris Ball was one of the founders of the original Enduro World Series. Sold out to the UCI to make it more "professional", then sold out again to Warner Brothers/ Discovery to take over Enduro, DH & XC who put it behind a pay wall/subscription.

Instrumental in the introduction of semi-finals and other daft changes.

Now trying to turn DH etc into F1 and ruining it in the process due to commercialism, massive price hike on entry fees, getting rid of privateers and various other dick moves.....

Think that just about covers it.....

Rumour is Ball is his middle name, or in local dialect Baw.

Actual surname is Bag.
