EWS Tweed Valley Full Highlights | Enduro World Series 2021 Round 9
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 14. 05. 2024
- It's been an explosive conclusion to the 2021 EWS at Vittoria Tires Round 9 in the Tweed Valley, Scotland. A mixture of rain and shine has made traction questionable and the racing on these steep, tight trails extra difficult.

What an explosive end to the 2021 Enduro World Series. A huge congratulations to Jack Moir and Melanie Pugin, 2 new series champions!
Congratulations đ for the trophies đđ and the enduro races from beautiful đŹđ· My big â„ n' support for enduro around the đ
My heart goes out to Richie. I know its the rules, and Jack is my man. But I luv watchin' Richie ride...can't wait to see the battle next year with Martin and Jessie hot on their tails. EWS....better than chipsđ€
Heart breaking about Richie, you always want to see it come down clean but it was great to see his teammate Kasper Woolley take a 7th out there. Just a wildly good young rider.
For Wallner to finish his racing career with an overall 9th position must feel pretty good. He's been at the sharp end throughout; a consistently good rider and great ambassador. Hope his new role as team manager is even half as impressive.
He's definitely ending it on a positive note! The guys been an amazing competitor over the years and we're sure he'll continue to be a brilliant ambassador as Ibis team manager
Does seem a shame Richie couldn't ride at all rather than just taking some kind of penalty. Stoked for Moi Moi though, worthy champ! Awesome work by Hattie Harnden too getting 4th overall at 20yrs old!
Gutted it's over now!
I thought it might have a been a bit of a let down with the Richie situation but the race was amazing. Nice work telling the story EWS team. Well done Bex and Martin and cool to see Jess Stone going so well
Thanks for all the great vids this year guys!đ
Huge shout out to all the EWS Crew for these! Those guys kill it đ€
I gotta say, Maes and Jesse Melamed are my to favorite riding styles in EWS. Maes just floats over everything, almost skipping along the trail, Jesse is economical and committed, awesome riders.
Jesse is all out all the time. đ
We've got to agree with you here Roman! Both super economical riders who are great to watch
Can we just appreciate the song choices all throughout this season? They're amazing!
Thanks for the feedback đ€
Agreed!
OZ OZ OZ
MOI MOI MOI
Bummer way to end the seaon for Rude. I'm sure Jack would have preferred a good ol' fight to the end.
Richie wasnt the only one missing the gates. another top 10 rider Slavomir did the same thing. If only the organizers could tape the cource to the finish just like they did previous rounds
@@filipkryspin8726 why? They were all told the rules and itâs the same for everyone. The gates are pretty easy to spot arenât they?
Yeah we'd have loved to see it play out, but that's racing!
a time penalty would of been better to make it more interesting , and if you had to stay inside the flags they should of just taped them
@@drumandbassob0007 this is not the first time gates have been used, the riders were aware and itâs the same for everyone. Only two people made this mistake⊠I donât think we can blame the system or the organisers. Honestly the gates are so clear and easy to spot, Richie just made a crazy mistake.
I do think time penalties make sense, but how do you decide on a fair and reasonable time penalty for course cutting? DQ is a bit draconian but either way itâs a UCI call and is in the rules (same for World Cup DH) so again itâs the same for everyone.
Great job on the speed and quality of the vids GMBN. top job MOI MOI,yeah Boi!!!!!
Thanks for watching Clayton đ€
Hat tips to Melanie and Jack for winning the title, an amazing season for both. We can even say that Jack had to win the title with a big rock. Literally. Still it sucks Richie was DQ for the entire race for that mistake. Of course a DQ for the stage where the violation happened is inevitable... but a DQ for the entire race and all 6 stages... man that's harsh.
18:35 who thought that music was a good idea!?
Great same day coverage! Don't know how you do it but thank you for all your hard work. Looking forward to next spring.
Cheers William! A lot of hard work behind the scenes from the EWS crew go into these and we're pumped people enjoy them!
Big shout out to Jack, congrats Moi Moi!. Massive shout out to EWS as well. Bravo on the season and thanks for bringing us these highlights after each comp. The editing is on point.
Huge well done to everyone that did well in Inners, to show up for the first and ride those trails to a high level is a massive achievement.
Glad to see so many people enjoying themselves. We tried to get people to Inners for years, hopefully this will do the trick.
Thanks for covering this guy's, EWS is a sensational series and I can't wait for next seasonđ.
Great coverage all year GMBN, thanks for all the effort to get these out so fast - and congrats to Moi Moi, did us proud!
I believe that rules are rules but disqualify a competitor for the entire even for one mistake seems kinda wayyyyy tooooo much.
Maybe some time penalty or something but technically in this case destroyed the chance to win a championship for a mistake that anyone can make, is crappy to say the least. Rude and Moir gave an excellent battle this season ether one could be the champion hands down!! đđđ
Yeah, I would have thought a time penalty was normal for something like that, not total disqualification for the race... Seems strange.
Great coverage. Weâll done to all the racers. Great to see the British ladies up there smashing it. Amazing to have EWS in Scotland. Hope to have them back year after year!!
Love the side by side camera shots and the number of shots and quality seem to really have ratched up...love it!
Amazing all year, thanks so much to the entire EWS community. Just what the doctor ordered to keep spirits up. My heart goes out to Ritchie, stink ending to an amazing battle all season. Always next year tho, and looking forward to that now with baited breath.
this video is better than any videos from 2022 season
Callaghan, Dale and Kerr in the mix!
Bloody awesome.
Such a shame we didn't get to see Moir and Rude go to the wire, but what an amazing finale to the season. Great to see Hattie Harnden so close to the podium in the overall too. Definitely my favourite MTB series, this year. Really good coverage đđ€đ
Great wrap up... Love the mapping of the trails in 3d. Decent video that, subscribed.
What a season! Well deserved @jackmoir !! Epic riding this season..
Solid coverage folks! Thanks!
These recap highlights are amazing! I'm excited to follow the 2022 series. Moi Moi TV it's the best!
Was hoping to see "Party Boi's" big slide over the line, it was reported 10/10 in style on the EWS live feed
Pretty sure it will feature on moi moi tv ... they were talking about and planning it in a previous episode lol.
Ahhh man! Gutted we missed it!
What a season. Feels sad it's done. Can't wait for when CZcams shows "Course Preview - Tweed Valley" in recommendations next year! Thanks for the coverage and all the amazing videos!
Thanks for watching Roman!
So cool to see all the pros from across the world race my local trails. Shame the weather didnât hold up. Trails were still dusty the weekend before.
Amazing session!
Great racing and great coverage Rick and team...keep it coming eh.
More of the same next year!
Please go Live next year!! Great year of racing!
Massive shout out to Jess stoneđ€đœ
Yeah Jess was killing it until that hand injury! We hope she's doing ok now.
It's a little disappointing that the fight between Richie and Moir came down to the rules.
Fun to see it full wet from time to time. Some spicy sliding action.
Riding in the wet is such a skill!
Gutted for Jess Stone but great racing from the women and great coverage- thanks đ
She was doing so well! Hopefully we'll see more of Jess next year
Hi I'm from Philippines watching for you're video
Excellent!!!
Looks life fun
Class racing looked like so much fun the level of racing is getting better and better đ good to see Greg back up there roll on next year and all the Irish keeper pined ..đ€đ€đ does anyone know who is singing that song at 18.42
So glad Jack got the overall win! Itâs encouraging for Aussies like Jack to show other Aussies what we are capable of! And just a video idea for you guys, could you make a video on how to do like cool trail tricks that you can use on the trail to show off (such as roosts etc)? Thanks for the amazin video!
put your weight onto the front tire and get the back end loose, with practice you'll be a roosty boy
@@theletterseee thanks!
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
DAMN THAT WAS GOOD!
Cheers Jimmerita! Thanks for watching đ€
Great Vids people , would of been funny to do a. Matt Walker vs Matt Walker comparison. Kiwi vs uk
Can't wait for next season. Good to see the individually sponsored runs ditched. Hopefully that got the thumbs down and won't be back :)
good stuff
That was exciting
Good right!?
@@gmbn Nah it was not Good it was Awesome and Sick đđđ€đ€, but did not expect Riche Rude to get disqualified in such an important stage
Please can we have highlights like this for 2022. Not too late to whip one up for Tweed Valley
I need to get out of Australia and move to the uk, so many tracks and so much better than what we have here in Victoria.
S.A has good trails + bike parks BUT don't bring us covid
Really? You have some of the best in the country!! Just over the border here in NSW there is heaps!
Awesome
That would be fun
The rule isnt clear for this situation = tapes and gates inside. Separete for gates and tapes is clear but not for that. Sad for Richie and Slawetk. Not fair aspecialy that there was more signs of riding like them. Big congrats for Moir for title, Maes for winning round and Jessie for fight till end!
I was there it was epic đ€
Go Lewis! Bummed for Richie. Could've made the ending battle more exciting...
can i ask why their fork is like 120mm travel only? i thought if enduro the travel of the fork is 140-160mm?
28:04 there's a new piece of tape where Rude cut the corner lol. Why didn't they just tape it out that way in the first place?! xD
20/20 hindsight I guess, and I doubt they're going to leave gates untaped again. That said, as I've seen others point out, there was literally only two riders that made that "mistake" out of a hundred pros, so the tape probably shouldn't have been needed in the first place.
They assumed riders new what 'gates' were. They have been used in racing since the dawn of time.
Sure, because gates are such a new concept and so tricky to see... đ
We're kind of with the commenters on this one SuperToaster! Gates in mountain biking are nothing new and how to use them is in the rulebook!
Well, that was an anticlimax if there ever was one. This report is very much lacking an interview with Rude. Apart from that, great coverage.
Unsurprisingly the guy wasn't available for comment!
He was probably pretty pissed and not wanting to talk.
That DSQ seems overly harsh; something like a 20-30 penalty would be more suitable for a first offence; after that, then a DSQ is more fair. Putting my rallying hat on, drivers occasionally get penalised time for taking a bigger than normal 'cut'; but not a DSQ. (Meeke in Australia) Whenever you think the FiA are hopeless, the UCI find a way to beat them.
itâs it ever too late to race in stuff like this? maybe not as big, but iâve been riding and training like a mad man. want to enter some kindve race so bad looks like a lot of fun. iâm 18 and have never raced.
Canyon team must switch to michelin tiresđđ€... Congrats to rd.9 champion maes and the top 3 Ews overall champion and to all world class enduro racers/teams there...EWS race is always Awesome stoked for next yearâș
Looks like ability to ride crazy fast in mud the main ability tested here!
What do they mean by "pro stage"?
I'd like to personally thank the UCI for ruining the last round of the EWS this year and the incredible title fight we had going on. DQ'ing a title contender for missing a gate is ridiculous. Absolutely should have been a time penalty on the stage where the infraction occurred. Stoked for Jack but watching him cruise to the title is super disappointing.
Wasn't the only incident Richie was involved in last weekend. The rules are rules.
@@mtb1342 what else was he involved in?
Why did you make Katy cry???
dear GMBN, have you tried participating with red bull rampage, more adrenalin here..đ”đ”đ”đ”
It's a shame the videos are in backwards order in the play list. What a pain!
14:52 mvp
Kind of an unexciting end. Once Rude was out it kinda took the fun out and really took some of the glory from Jack. Would have been better to see a race till the end and truly see the best race.
Nope it really didn't take the glory away. Jack was able to follow the rules, Richie couldn't. Teams were notified of the problem, privateers really were not. The polish bloke, Lukasik was shafted big time as he was DQ, but not notified. Rude was notified in the morning.
Not the end we would have asked for to the men's overall, you're right. But for this race? Still a super exciting one to watch! So tight between Hattie and Bex and Martin, Jesse and Dailly were amazing to watch too
@@gmbn would have been exciting if you hadn't announced the winners in the pinned post !!!!!!!!!!!
@@intoyoursoul23 a time penalty or stage disqualification would have led to a more exciting race. When the championship is decided by technicalities and not racing it made for a lack of excitement. The end of world cup downhill season is how championship seasons should end.
Anyone know where I can get a mudguard like the ones these racers are using? All I can find are tiny short ones that don't work nearly as well as these ones in the videos would.
Maybe:
www.themudhugger.co.uk/
There are a few options out there! Mudhugger & RRP are the main options here in the UK
Where is the Ritchie mistake?
Gotta say though, left trail tape should be different to right...same with slalom flags. POV feeds as a spectator can be hard to comprehend, racers are in the moment, exhausted and smashin' on, must be hard. Just a thought. However like I said in my last post...EWS is the bomb...make it bigger Chris, smashin' it so far mate đ
Richie getting DQed was stupid but it was a great season
đđđ
Pink bike gets dh World Cup and GMBN gets ews
I hope that noob argueing w me a year or two ago that the strive is an "xc geometry" outdated bike has been watching this year's EWS.
Jesus wept not at the mud and the near misses but the amount of damm adverts in this video!!!
For all thoes out there whinging about Rudes DQ.
There was a clearly defined line, the big brown one that had green either side of it, that was also marked out with slalom gates and tape that from what I understand every rider except Rude and one other managed to follow. He missed 3 gates, it was blatant as! Break the rules, no matter how frivolous and cop the penalty.
Isn't too hard the decision of the EWS to disqualifie Richie for this round ?
Surely there could have been a time penalty for Rude. A dq seems targeted.
Another rider did the same and got DQ'd aswell! We don't think it was targeted, just a harsh ruling for a serious rule infraction where riders were cutting the course in order to gain a time advantage.
Rider of the race for me was local privateer Jess Stone , if it wasn't for breaking her finger I'm sure we would've seen her on the podium .
Blake is the best
Disqualification is BULL. SHIT.
Quality ride from Jack tho! Congrats bro!
Do you think it's too harsh?
What other option is there? Its impossible to be fair .... how many riders do you place him behind? Its just not fair all-round to place time limits unless its to place him in last ... which may have worked in terms of getting him to ride the rest of the stages ... but what for? you cant make up that much time. Its racing you have to race a standard course or you are in a different race.
Given that it seems like it was flagged in an ambiguous way, I think a big time penalty would have been sufficient. That was certainly an advantage to be had, but it couldnât have been worth more than 5/10 seconds at the finish. It seems like a very deflating way to end a year long championship battle.
Weird music
Yo WHAT THE HELL??!? Why would they disqualify Rude from the entire race for missing two little flags??? Maybe give him a time penalty instead? Like that's totally insane to disqualify the guy over missing a couple flags at the end. Really a huge bummer for the entire series. Makes no sense!
Not surprising considering itâs the same international governing body that gives out penalties for socks.
I agree!! They should let him continue the races. Itâs only fair. We all know if he wasnât disqualified, he would have won for sure.
@@androdelrosario It was a dark day when Chris Balls breakaway enduro series became another UCI governed event. We can argue for and against the move but the outcome remains the same. F the UCI.
@@michaels1954 well he wasnât winning that stage even with the three flags he cut, so no we donât all âknowâ he would have won.
Itâs the same in World Cup DH - cut the course anywhere and youâre DQâd. Itâs the same rule for everyone and Richie was aware of it. Only two people out of everyone made that mistake - it sucks for the title battle but ultimately he only has himself to blame.
Stupid mistake on riches part
Lew is 100% a local as is Katy, although not currently in residence.
Bex is not a local, Staying in short term accommodation for a few months while prepping for local EWS round does not make you a local.
Does it really matter?
If you've moved to an area and you live there, you're local to that area, regardless of how long you've lived there or where you're from originally! That's the Whistler definition at least!
Bex has lived here for coming on 2 years. That's quite a "few" months I'd say.
Disqualify BS? Why not just take 3 seconds off?
3 seconds? For cutting 3 flags?! Why not just let riders make their own lines down the whole course then? đ
DQ is harsh, but itâs the same rules for everyone and itâs the same in World Cup DH as well.
Why 3 seconds? I was thinking penalise him the max time delay for the most timely crasher on the corner ... at best. Its just so "unknown" when someone cuts a course. Losing a stage only is the same as a whole race anyway. It comes back to being Richies own fault ... In the end I think sometimes he is just too laid back ... thats just who he is ... but theres times it costs him.
As Michael pointed out, it was a pretty clear violation of the rules. 3 seconds isn't harsh enough a penalty when you're talking about cutting the course to gain a time advantage.
Rude cutting corners⊠Lol. He always gets busted
This video ends at 8:50.
Pretty much. Very anticlimactic way to end the season.
Definitely not! Just because the men's overall is wrapped up early, doesn't mean the story of this race wasn't a banger!
@@gmbn The women's overall had been decided for a long time. It was still fun to watch the rest of the race, but there was no tension there.
In classic UCI fashion, though, they decided to completely spoil the end of one of the best season-long battles we'd seen in all EWS history. The title was really up for grabs and there was no other contender. Even Moir reeled it back knowing the victory was secure. Absolute buzz kill
Aah yes, Vittoria. The tyre brand that sponsors a championship in which none of the top riders use their products.
When they go to Tassy they may have had their coffee ... Vittoria is a coffee brand here in Aus lol. Always seems to be funny to have a tyre named after a coffee brand to me lol.
@@barrytaylor9030 Yeah I thought coffee brand as well. Aussies and their coffee....
UCI didn't really decide the penalty at all, the EWS's rules are very clear and definitive, cut the course and a DQ is the only option available, commissaires had no choice with the way the EWS wrote their rules.
Absolute bullshit. đŻ
The punishment DOES NOT fit the crime. If that's the "rules" they need to be rewritten.
