I'm a serious MTBer and this seems like a road course/CX race. The guys who chose to ride hardtail were smart, less weight and better for climbing. No need for full travel here.
Too many weekend warrior critics, not sure why they try to diminish these racers, doubt that many - if any - could make a showing. Perhaps that's why they sit and watch rather than securing a multi-million $ contract with one of the world's biggest teams. Who knows?
@@smithgov Yes, and big mountains too. However, competitions such as this are inclusive of spectators, few spectators would be likely to spend hours getting to the more dramatic runs as they are largely downhills, which is a different thing entirely. PS don't be so damned condescending!
Excuse me? Weekend warrior? I’m not criticizing the riders, I’m critical of the course, and it’s you that is condescending. Come to where I live, we will teach you about mtb. This ain’t it.
Oh yezzzzzz fans, cycling makes life worth living, the best adventure of life, what a sight, what a joy.. now, take all the Munchen goodies and go on tour like the most beloved music stars oh yezzzzzz, we need to dismantle the Sahel desert friends, raising up some new hills in order to plant Bavarian grapes plantations and mountain bike new park sites for young boys, that's what pushing pedals worth for, we can save the planet together, just having fun this good. Our planet is suffering of extreme heat, if we can manage the natural resources we can invert the global warming trend, untill any desert on this planet will look just this good, think about it guys Ok? I am the biggest supporter of yours, cycling is this funny indeed
Este circuito tan rápido, sin barro ni dificultad técnica alta ha favorecido a un profesional de la carretera como Pidcock. Parece que pensaron en él cuando lo diseñaron jejeje. Bueno, a parte de eso, Thomas demuestra ser un gran ciclista multidisciplinar.
Is it just me or the euro XC peloton is bigger and heavier than ever before? Those guys look massive. No wonder Pidcock smoked them... he must be 10kg lighter than the average rider in the race.
Roadies are real Pros. They are on different level. Though most of them aren't skilled enough, but the few who have MTB or CX background easily beat the "amateur" MTB guys. Beacuase XC MTB is far from the World Tour level.
Povo tudo reclamando como é fácil o percurso, estamos falando de oito voltas e não de uma volta em um percurso só de saída e chegada, só na prática que cada um poderá dizer se fácil ou árduo.
What the fk has happened to mtbing that course is beyond shit cyclo cross is way more gnar , i gave up racing years ago because i got sick of riding shit tracks that i would not ride ever and this just reinforces my belief. 😜😜💪😊😪
He has been riding bikes since he was a baby. His Mother and Father are very keen cyclist, they cycle for a club, he also has a younger brother who is pretty good. Cycling family.
This course is a joke! Need to take the mtb out of the title and call it taking a stroll thru the city! Where's the roots, rocks, any tech what so ever! This would be great for grade schoolers mtb program!
The problem is that everyone probably wants to save money, and Munich organized nine European championships at once - in one big event. Starting with athletics, through table tennis, speed canoeing and including mountain biking. I can't even remember the rest of the sports... In principle, it may not be a bad idea, it saves time, money and a lot of travel, but some sports obviously pay for such "centralization"...
UCI can't have the authority to say this is a modern XCO race. That's ridiculous, all this UCI thing should be revised. This is Ciclo Cross with fat tires.🤮
I cannot stand these sanitised XC courses. There is no more skill involved in riding this course that commuting to work on a Brompton Folder....... I know it's all done for TV and to get easy access for crowds etc, but what's wrong with having a proper off road course with natural hazards and obstacles? This is just a Cyclo Cross race on fat tyres. Willing to bet Pidcock could have won this more easily on a Gravel Bike.
London Olympic course... That event where the money talks louder than the track.. looks like an amateur event🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 oh there's a "barrel garden"!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 There was this Red Bull freeride event in this place that was terrible really bad made. I know this park is so beautiful but you insist in doing events that's is no good for MTB.
Thanks for sharing. Shocking course, seen more technical road races.
they dont even need suspension for this
@@AlfredoNino yeah, tbh the fastest lap on this track would be done on a gravel bike 😆
WTF? A drop bar gravel bike should be the weapon of choice on this course
A few stairs and a sandsection an you have a fine cyclo-cross parkour here
There is no mountain biker on the planet that would ride this course and say "I just went to a mount bike ride" even beginners.
An embarrassment
A WalMart Huffy would've survived this course...
Looks like a road race on smooth dirt
And half the course was tarmac.
THAT is a mt. bike race?? Grass & asphalt???
And no elevation
I'm a serious MTBer and this seems like a road course/CX race. The guys who chose to ride hardtail were smart, less weight and better for climbing. No need for full travel here.
I'd take a gravel bike there
@@KeithFlint350 its called mountain bike race for a reason.
@@marcusmartin5758well it’s not on a mountain, is it?
I was thinking the same, man even with more bumps I would stay on a hardtail....Way faster and my bump can take it nooooo stresss
Dont need suspension for the course like this.. 😅
Whoa!! Nice race.. May the best man win!! Who is the strongest and good stamina.. 👋👋👋
It was a great atmosphere, you can hear my cowbell giving it hell for leather at the rock garden. 😂 Pidcock was awesome, they all were.
A prova o circuito ea transmissão foi nota 10
Maybe they should use CX bikes for this. At least some riders were smart enough to use hardtails.
Mtb race or a cyclocross race???
Impresionante 😲
Nice one Tom again 👍🇬🇧
🏴well done Mr Pidcock
Sir pidcock so strong into the climbs, tiredness is not in his dictionary
Is true…
Campeón y con una rígida 😎👌🏼

Tony it is really quite simple. This isn't mountain biking. Have you ever mountain biked?
@@smithgov Yes, and big mountains too. However, competitions such as this are inclusive of spectators, few spectators would be likely to spend hours getting to the more dramatic runs as they are largely downhills, which is a different thing entirely. PS don't be so damned condescending!
@@tonynorris9139 It is not mountain biking..simple.
Excuse me? Weekend warrior? I’m not criticizing the riders, I’m critical of the course, and it’s you that is condescending. Come to where I live, we will teach you about mtb. This ain’t it.
Pidcock is a really great one. Chapeau
Just another dirty road race. Smoothest track I have ever seen not impressed.
Merci
Bravo Pid 👋💪

Top !
That had zero to do with mountain biking. The course was a joke.
Full suspension? They would have done better with gravel bikes.
If mvdp and ns is there it would be an exciting battle
Is it just me or the euro XC peloton is bigger and heavier than ever before? Those guys look massive. No wonder Pidcock smoked them... he must be 10kg lighter than the average rider in the race.
apparently 59kg at the start of the season, that's wild for his hight of 170cm
Roadies are real Pros. They are on different level. Though most of them aren't skilled enough, but the few who have MTB or CX background easily beat the "amateur" MTB guys. Beacuase XC MTB is far from the World Tour level.
The mid boggles if that's tbe best Germany can come up with... naff
A mountain bike race without a mountain.
Good 👍🏻👍🏻
Pidcock is awesome
Correct me if I'm wrong, I take it this was the European champion race.
next xc is on the autobahn?🤣
As Mr Punch says to Judy . That's the way you do it !
My 6th grade sons can ride this course 😅
you could do this on a road bike.. should have switched to a CX bike at least, would have been way faster and easily won the race
definitely
look how wide all their handlebars are!
That's the style nowadays, and you need it for better fine control, as some bikes have much slacker head angles.
Mountain biking? You must be kidding me! Those 4 created bumps were "deadly". LOL
Pidcock is a master 🚵♀️💪👍🤜🤛⚡️
Despues de estar toda la semana mirando competencias de los 90s, veo a estos tipos y parece que estan yendo a comprar el pan
wow...
Thomas Pidcock descends Like a Madmen
I ride this with a Gravel Bike…!
Mountain bike? Where's the f***ing mountain!?
28:31 is that remote controlled sram eagle?
You're right.
I wonder how the MTB riders really feel about roadies taking away their titles. I also wonder why this didn't happen already decades ago.
no one used to care about MTBing that's why
pidcock strted in cyclo cross, then gave the elite roadies a masterclass in how to desend in the tour de france......
👍👏👏👏
Tom Pidcock is awesome
where is Nino S?
More like a cyclocross course than xc
these are ironman of cycling
Have these guys seen Mega Avalanche
I’m surprised my buddy Luke Lamperti didn’t show up, he’d school em all on this silly course.
EPO knows best
MTB? 🤔
Povo tudo reclamando como é fácil o percurso, estamos falando de oito voltas e não de uma volta em um percurso só de saída e chegada, só na prática que cada um poderá dizer se fácil ou árduo.
why are those guys using a double shox on this track anyways lmao. Looks pretty smooth for a xc hardtail
Esto es carrera de MTB, no es carrera de RUTA.
Una cleta de carrera o ruta no iría a esa velocidad.
I can easily ride this race on my HT 😁
Ce n’est pas un circuit de vtt mais c’est plutôt cyclope cross
Cyclocross bikes have gotten bulkier.
that's not xc - their riding in circles at the local park
XD
What the fk has happened to mtbing that course is beyond shit cyclo cross is way more gnar , i gave up racing years ago because i got sick of riding shit tracks that i would not ride ever and this just reinforces my belief. 😜😜💪😊😪
Olympic???
Olympic distance
I wonder why Pidcock is so much stronger than the others.
He has been riding bikes since he was a baby. His Mother and Father are very keen cyclist, they cycle for a club, he also has a younger brother who is pretty good. Cycling family.
Because he's a world tour pro not an amateur like most of these guys,
The winner is sram eagle
sometimes i dawns on me that
europeans are more physically
fit than nost of the world.
cycling is a culture in Europe
This course is a joke! Need to take the mtb out of the title and call it taking a stroll thru the city! Where's the roots, rocks, any tech what so ever! This would be great for grade schoolers mtb program!
My bad I did see a rock garden!
Thats not a rock garden the course designer needs to go to erzberg mtb doesnt need a rainbow flag wtf .
Vídeo xco wuman ..
What the heck are all these roadies doing on the lawn?
Lol
Question: can you lower the prize of your bike sir it is so expensive. Answer: who are you to be empowered?
最喜欢看他们一摔一大堆
Wow - XC mountainbiking has lost its way. That course is a TV circus. A joke. Poor site selection.
the last true mtb course is in Canada Mt st-Anne. that's why its the favorite of most mtb racers
You need no technical skills to race that track they must of been bored to death.

This used to be xc back in the day but i dont know why theyre not on hardtails
I’ve raced Cat.4 CX courses that are more interesting than this!
Pidcock 🔥
Sad.....I wanted to see the woods, mud, rock jumping....
mountainbike?,, lol they mean road race bike
XC
No me gustan estos circuitos cada vez mas producidos. Casi no hay obstáculos naturales. Pierde originalidad. Esta pista estaba casi para Ciclocross
Que pista ridícula. Tá fácil dimais até pra ciclocross..
uma prova num circuito 0% técnico não deveria ser uma prova tão importante..
UCI can't have the authority to say this is a modern XCO race. That's ridiculous, all this UCI thing should be revised. This is Ciclo Cross with fat tires.🤮
Audience chanting is very annoying.
vraiment bidon le parcours , ca fait pas honneur a la discipline
It’s a joke
What an absolute joke of a MTB course! 100' of technical terrain per lap! Give me a break!
Mountain biking?! What a joke. This isn't even a cyclo cross race as half the course was on tarmac. This is an embarrassment to the sport.
Двух подвеси взсралися😆
Malísimo el recorrido,no tiene nada de MTB. A ver si la próxima hacen algo mejor

Wow,hasn't xc become shit 🤔
AWFUL COURSE
This course is lame. Bring back the courses from the 90’s
London Olympic course... That event where the money talks louder than the track.. looks like an amateur event🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 oh there's a "barrel garden"!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
There was this Red Bull freeride event in this place that was terrible really bad made. I know this park is so beautiful but you insist in doing events that's is no good for MTB.
What a boring route
A gravel bike would've been more suitable for this track...even a road bike would've done the job. Pathetic track selection for mtbs
No
mega boring track
What a stupid track...
