Toby Price signature air brake. Would point to an Aussie. Olly Davis?

I would speculate that the European market generally responds better to marketing in the form of bike racing (whether it be world tour cycling, cyclocross, world cup XC, or world cup DH) compared to the North American market. As evidence of this, it seems like the overwhelming majority of non-endemic sponsors of various bike racing teams, or series, do not sell their product in North America or at least are based in Europe. Elite level bike racing is also increasingly easier to view in Europe compared to North America. If this speculation is correct, I think brands targeting the European...

I think he got better towards the end of the year. Cedric was the worst of the commenting IMO. Ric did a really good job a few years ago doing the EWS highlight videos. Seems like he is the guy in the booth moving forward so hopefully he keeps improving.

I wish I could, it’s been very hard to keep quiet. Thank you for supporting Ryan and all your trail work!!!

To be fair, in the road cycling world teams are talked about more the way that Bizutch is doing. The team is really built around the sport director, and even when a team's entire docket of title sponsors changes, it's not considered to be a folding or dissolution of a team. In the case that Gwin is still owning the team, employing the same staff, and carrying all of the same bank accounts, the team isn't really dissolving; it's just rebranding. Team Garmin-Chipotle was never really shut down; they lost their title sponsors and became Team EF-Education EasyPost, but the...

More like I finally have the option of a downhill bike so I want to see what all the hype is about. I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.

Very close to some of my points I've made before in this debate. Keeping the cozy UCI run, RBTV broadcast series was always going to reach a dead end of sorts (probably very soon). In terms of potential for outside sponsorship etc. While things were great for lots of "real" fans. It's clear that the ones who won't now tune in care more for their entertainment than they do the sport. Which is fine of course. But, you can't have the cake and it it and all that. More prize money for riders, more outside sponsors, more professionalism etc... have...

oddly enough, i just received a text from AT&T saying "don't forget that Max is already included with your wireless plan at no additional cost, download the Max app etc..." I had no idea. So for me, it should be similar to what I paid for GCN last year. I'll take it.

Hopefully he is just getting all the garbage out at the end of 2023, so we can start 2024 without all that nonsense...

Probably off schwalbe...

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?
