Just so I am clear. Nothing is televised, until Sunday? No qaulis or semis are live correct?
This is how the sport ends, semis come in and are televised, semis still a thing but no longer shown, next year no semis and 30 for finals
Qualies have never been broadcast.
What a bonkers year this is going to be, field is stacked beyond belief, nothing but monsters in the top 15 and some big guns are further out back for now.
Think there has been a course hold or some sort, everyone on the track times have stopped and no one has started for 10 mins, shame cus I wanted to see Reece and Adam do well, hope they get a re run before semis in literally just over an hour
Someone knows someone who does a live feed somewhere? It is a shame
Brayton down?
I very much doubt it cus he was on the motorway when the red flag happened, although it is possible
Anyone know if there's updates to protected riders for '24?
A quick look at the UCI website shows top 10 men and top 5 women are protected to semis for elites, and top 3 in each are protected to finals. But that info is from rule changes for last year.
Just got word that Lucas Cruz injured femur both collarbones & shoulder
I can't believe they're not broadcasting anything elite for free... I've heard that the paying option at Eurosport does not work fine at all... Is this how they want to grow the sport? So sad
No updates as far as I know. Note that for the first race of the season, the top-20 men and top 10 women from last year's standings are protected.
They’re not broadcasting anything semis at all—free or paid!
He posted to instagram after so either someone is doing for him or the collarbones aren’t broken.
Vali and Tahnee attacking this course. Love it. Some heaters from Dooley and LMS. Love to see it.
Any word on BK's DNF? Didn't get to the second split. (feels awkward trying to get excited over watching a spreadsheet update in real time as opposed to just... Watching some racing -_-)
Can anyone post a breakdown of how many riders qualify? Like how many qualify, then how many make semis, how do protected riders work. So confusing and when big guys get a dnf, im so confused on weather or not theyre safe or not
The top 25 men juniors and top 10 women juniors from the qualifying round qualify for the final.
The top 60 men elite and top 15 women elite from the qualifying round qualify for the semi-final.
The top 30 men elite and top 10 women elite from the semi-finals qualify for the final.
Troy Bosnan ladies and gentlemen!!! Love to see it!
Protected riders get added on if they have a bad run. Ie Kerr is protected so there will be 31 in the final
for first race of year top 10 are protected. bernard is 6th, so he's in.
have been told "last quarter of men's semi was raining, so loose dirt at top probably had good grip."
I am sure he could still post on instagram with broken collarbones. I broke my right collarbone pretty significantly a year ago and still won a pool tournament that night. I had some liquid courage, but out of all the bones I have broken it was by far the easiest.
In other sad news, just spotted Cedric Gracia at fort William on Troy’s vlog with a microphone in hand.
as big of a legend that he is, I really really really hope it’s just Gwin and Rik in the commentary booth tomorrow!
Pretty sure that he's just doing the French broadcast. Our prayers have been answered.
Half answered.
Bro. For how much experience Warner bros has they are complete shit at matching audio/visual. Same thing as last year. Get to hear commentators announce finish times while they’re still on the motorway. Amateur hour.
Let’s all take a moment to be grateful that Josh Carlson isn’t in the commentary booth.
Go to TIZ cycling everyone and enjoy the free stream. They saves the downhill.
Tried going to the UCI webpage to see if they were doing updates like is done for enduro, not even that site is working.
Carlson’s stoke is undeniable and I like him a lot. But I am thrown off by his no mustache Abe Lincoln beard.
Fantasy results are in.

Note it says Luca is 4th (he should be 5th). his points for the game (140) are accurate, so game results are correct. working on changing his result number now.
