entry list for the Women Junior Downhill which showed an unprecedented increase in the number
of riders
, we are happy to confirm that the number who will qualify for the final has been increased

BBC coverage is awful!! Junior Women finals is just showing them out the start hut and then cutting to them on the end of the motorway! And if the commentator gets any more excited he'll wake up out of his coma!

I hope this commentator is not calling the Elite races - he's missed that riders have had punctures and just seems to be reading results from a sheet - why haven't they used Ric and Cedric? At least they have a clue!

8/4/2023 7:14am

Wow, these young Kiwi women are something else.

The ''tiz Cycling' feed that Sven shared is good, Ric + someone I haven't heard before commentating and plenty of cameras on track.

Thanks for that! Just found it on my Discovery+ sub - its Ric and Neil GMBN doing comms - so nice to hear from people that know the sport!

Not using quali results to determine the starting order seems pretty dumb.

Is it Neil Donoghue? Great rider and he is one of the better GMBN hosts, but they both need to get a bit more hyped up, although I understand they can't be faking excitement for X hours over 2 days.
