how was the broadcast/commentary on Flosports last year? I spent a couple hours trying to do the VPN thing on my work machine and never got it to work. I think a replay popped up on youtube or something that bailed me out but I don't even feel like dealing with the hassle this year. of course Flosports doesn't seem to have pricing anywhere on their website without registering...ominous sign.

Pretty bad. Guy knows the field but is far from an exciting commentator. They also don’t edit the replay into a better format it’s just like 5 hrs with a bunch of weird shit in between womens and mens broadcast. At one point the announcer is on the broadcast and is unaware and says I hope this guy doesn’t get in the hotseat that’s going to mess up my intro.
Used flosport two years ago. It was bad. Commentary didn’t know much. Cameras seemed to not pick up most riders. I complained the next day and got my money back.
Paid for express vpn last year and it works fine . Also a good option to have on for general use.

Grinning at broadcaster flub.

flobikes.com pricing is approx $150/year IIRC and i think that's the only option available.
Year after year it sucks for you guys that can't access RBTV for the Worlds. $150 a year is just ridiculous and all the while the UCI continue to spout shit about growing the sport.
Is there any clarification on whether it'll be Flo or Turner Stateside next year? I suppose you'll get a bit more for your money if it's Flo, though that's a gossamer thin silver lining.
The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if it's Turner Sports for WCDH and FloSports for the World Champs.

take a moment to watch minnaar, fabien and peaty in les gets 2004. the heart-breaker for peaty, but how freaking loose do they ride through those lower turns! foot out, drift-tastic. what an awesome display! (the faux helmet cam is kinda funny too)

The commentary on the 2004 footage is a foreshadowing of next season, isn't it? Sad

Do you reckon the typo on her top tube was intentional?

Oh my, quality of RAW and riding is insane..

Thanks @vitalmtb!

A part of me will never be restored as I’ll forever miss the Vital Slideshows, but your coverage and excitement for the sport remains the absolute benchmark.

The only Swiss junior woman on the entry list is Delia Da Mocogno. Fairly sure it's her in the crash as her insta shows her on a Commencal with Boxxer. https://www.instagram.com/p/CheXOUDN6eP/
