No not surprised at all..humans are like that.. especially in countries like here in US where we have thousands of sport entertainment options on social media, streaming etc. The idea that the racing wasn't "as good" in 2023 compared to 22 is nonsense though. The racing was better by all accounts. And from VDS onwards the coverage was good enough to be worth the money I paid for GCN. Wasn't as good as RB but it's year one. I'm willing to give them a few seasons to sort it out. Some aren't. That's how it is. The top one racers...

Seems DH fans are expecting a lot out of a niche sport. There's not that many sports where the athletes make direct money from TV revenue. Sadly, for now, the only way we can help riders "make more money" from being on TV is by tuning in. It's a salary sport, and good salaries for top riders. It's not a prize money sport (luckily for the riders) and not a TV revenue sport, cos the previous TV provider probably didn't make huge money from their free streaming model. So expecting riders and teams to get.money from TV revenue in year...

With RBTV we only saw about ten women and 35 men or so. With 35-20 only on screen for a few minutes. With Finn's winning MSA run in 22 we got 2mins 45sec of footage live. With Jackson's run this season we saw almost every second of it. So seen as RBtv was 35+10 and less minutes of coverage.. I can't see why you'd not tune in in 24 for similar numbers and more minutes of footage?

I will preface that none of these comments are directed at any specific people in this forum or others, these are my observations based on riding all year, vital, PB, etc. I think it became trendy to hate on the new DH coverage, don't get me wrong there were problems but I felt MSA coverage this year was much better than redbulltv's of MSA last year. I also think there is this weird idea that gained traction in which people are saying that the UCI are trying to kill downhill and things of that nature. I really don't think the...

Those figures are Youtube only. And much of the data shows an increase in viewership in 2023, so the exact opposite of your point. For example, DH Finals highlights in 2023 on the WDB channels was almost triple of the 2019 RB bike figures. So yeah, you are smoking something?

You're probably right, but at the end of the day wasn't it his choice to cash out and sell to PON? You can't have it both ways and to me, he comes off as an entitled asshole stuck in his version of "the good ol' days". I don't know how the decision to cut Greg happened, but I think it would be smart build the future of the team around Jackson and there's only so much a brand can budget for a race team. Speculating that the budget was set, and the decision was between keeping Greg and cutting support...

Norco sounding likely but I could also see Greg talking to someone local to him in Andorra. There’s always been a lot of mutual respect between him and Max Commencal? Or I’d be equally unsurprised if Greg/Roskopp/Whitely are working on something with Unno in Barcelona.

I think it’s filming a deathgrip2 segment. Read somewhere awhile back they had to wait to film a couple parts so some riders would be in the right sponsored kit when it came out
