    At least Redbull was able to put their live videos on notify a week in advance for every race. That's how you build anticipation and get more views.

    Discovery needs to understand when you are trying to grow popularity in a sport you don't hide the finals behind a pay wall. GCN+ does not interest MTB fans you may as well bundle it with a tennis channel.

    Great world cup! Yeah, I know there's a final but how many actually watch it...

  • @jamesc6876

    So many times we questioned about where time went and guessing when they fell. Yes, dirty on the side... did VitalMTB take up that camera position?

    Again thanks for putting the name of the winner well shown in the video near the highlights! If that's how you manage a on demand service, even the paid one, it's hard that you will get my money...

    Pretty much watching the top and bottom of each run. Nothing in between. Poor show….

  • @petedog9581

    This is a low and fast roller track. Getting air just slows you down.

  • @RIDINDIRTYMA
    @RIDINDIRTYMA Před 9 měsíci +8

    Funny how certain riders get thier runs cut out or shots of the fans and they suddenly cut back and the rider has "lost time" 30 seconds of Ninas run and Tahnees but never miss a second of the Frenchies

  • @aaavellone
    @aaavellone Před 9 měsíci +14

    It seems that 90% of the track is off camera and that part that is is straight section which is the most boring to watch. What happened to downhill?

    • @boerandasoutie4344
      @boerandasoutie4344 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Exactly!

      They show twice as much of the track in Finals. Sucks it's not completely free anymore, there not doing to bad considering just about everything changed in the production and management of the events. It'll get better every year and there already starting from a better spot than Redbull started from there first year.

      Discovery/ESO is doing to World Cup DH / Enduro what Discovery did to science education: dumb it down, make it fake, make it silly, make it random, make it tabloid.

    cool intro!

  • @ejej6934
    @ejej6934 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Can't believe they haven't yet given out an award for the biggest wreck of the race. They could call it the "Whoops Award."
    Not sure why I thought of that....

  • @CWBmtb
    @CWBmtb Před 9 měsíci +6

    What's the point of only showing 30 seconds of every run? Semi-finals is boring AF!

    Thank you for posting. Will the finals also be posted?

      Not in the USA, unless you want to pay for a subscription to a road cycling site.

  • @topspot4834
    @topspot4834 Před 9 měsíci +23

    It seems like UCI is going out of their way to make their coverage as bad as possible. Even their website is tough to navigate, huge disservice to a growing sport in every way possible.

      I thought it was just me. I can't find the damn races. I'm scrolling through the shit. It took me 20 mins before I realized the World Champs weren't on GCN.

      I can't ever find anything about it on my discovery+ subscription.

    Commentary is dull to horrible. Except for Miriam and Charlie.

    • @anthonyrogers590
      @anthonyrogers590 Před 9 měsíci +5

      And Gwin! I think he does so well......last race was perfect even though they never show the whole runs. That's where my disappointment is

    • @iancallahan232
      @iancallahan232 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Bring back Rob Warner, downhill is not the same without him.

  • @ninjaboi8134
    @ninjaboi8134 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Mountain biking didnt get as big as it is with paywalls to races we have had for free for years, uci and discovery are just being greedy and for the money needed its not even better than the free finals on redbull, we want free finals and good comentators!

  • @raulchavez6507
    @raulchavez6507 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Somehow they manage to make comments worst… went from a hard to understand and clumsy with their choice of words Frenchmen, to a had to understand and clumsy with their choice of words Frenchmen and Frenchwoman. I’m actually impressed!

    Worst coverage ever! Red Bull always showed the finals UCI is killing dh ⛳

    • @davea8346

      Killing enduro as well.

    Puree c’est quoi votre truc de nous faire baver avec les demies et jamais passer les finales en live, c’est nul !!!

  • @kianferial7938
    @kianferial7938 Před 9 měsíci

    sorry to say, I am mostly interested in parts, especially results, etc, so I am skipping a lot within such a video. This means I am watching WAY MORE commercials (Apple: you bore me to death!) which is NOT skippable, than anything else, so dam annoying :-(

  • @patrickoconnell9387

    It's too bad such a great sport is being held back by such an incompetent organization

  • @crush1221
    @crush1221 Před 9 měsíci +6

    Why the fuck are we showing the start and the last 5 corners. SMH.

    • @aaavellone
      @aaavellone Před 9 měsíci +3

      It's like WB/discovery are trying to kill downhill.
