Do we know if the full replay will be available free anywhere, or will it always be paywalled?

I can't find replays for elite talked about anywhere... must be paywalled... i've been waiting for them to get posted somewhere that I can watch from my couch, but no dice yet...
Here's a free replay, commenting is in French, if you don't understand it's not a big loss, they're terrible, not seeing punctures or mechanical like the chainless run of Kolb...Already miss the old rebull days

Ah thank you! I caved and ponied up for gcn+... The number of cameras was nice and it wasnt quite full runs but seemed better than last year at least for how much of each run you got to see... Otherwise it was inferior to redbull in everyway I could think of. Did anyone see the hot seat? They were just 3 stools...
It's bugging me that he says "free" instead of "three".
Yes I watched it live on YouTube. Searched lenzerheide and filtered on live and there was a cheeky stream available.
Not the best quality but having already seen the juniors and qualifying on the official YouTube channel it was more than acceptable.
lol Vital won't let me post the website that has free streams... It thinks I'm spamming! Maybe this rambling will trick it?

Not sure I heard any music throughout the broadcast.
redbull just to have music on the slow mo’s / small recap of a run between runs / in the downtime?
no riders start list appearing from time to time was annoying.
Shame ric and Cedric didn’t have same split information we had, at least not at same time!
The coverage of the semi-final scared me. The same three static shots of every run, on inconsequential portions of track, poorly timed cuts, and commentators who seemed as clueless as the viewer.
Fortunately the crew stepped up their game for the finals. More camera angles, better timing on the cuts, and the commentators started to find their groove.
I find it interesting that they can't do more with drones. The drone shots they used were poor quality and the piloting seems a bit suspect. Different sport, but the Natural Selection snowboard competition series does an amazing job with drone footage in much more formidable conditions.
All that being said, the coverage was decent and I expect it to improve as they get more races under their belt. The new format doesn't do much for the quality of racing, but it does allow for improved coverage of the final 30 riders.
Don’t know why they didn’t try two quali runs, 30 best + protected go through to the final. For the first year anyway. Maybe could of kept timed training.
Lots of extra effort for two race runs making for a very busy race day.
Same amount of elite women in final as junior women, odd.
On the Needles or downtime podcast, it was mentioned that the juniors cut the track in differently to usual by the time the elites got on it. So diff tactics needed.
also some teams skipping the track walk before the junior practice (now on same day), and doing unofficial track walk later in day (after some / the junior practice)
