Also been riding for a long time but a lot less bikes than most people it seems. Late 90s I started on a Trek 4500. 2001 Santa Cruz Superlight with a gold RS psylo race (bought all the parts and built it and was probably my favorite to this day. Still have the frame laying around.) 2006 Specialized Enduro Expert...
It’s actually wild that they didn’t start the stream and tell us this and then show us qualifying. No problem with the decision but a pretty big letdown the way it’s been handled.
I’ve got no issues with them delaying for the riders safety and for the best race possible I just wish there was a little actual communication to people across the world that are trying to tune in.
Could be a bit outdated but I believe when Red Bull decides to stop paying athletes, they are offered basically to stay on as a friend of the brand - keep the helmet and still looks like an RB Athlete but its up to them. Don't 100% quote me on this but I spent a few years working for RB...
Agreed. Would be ok for Ken for a rider or two but kicking the only person who’s been liked on the broadcast for someone who has very little insight on the race is a terrible call.
Yeah I see the events on Max when I VPN also. Interestingly I don’t see Val Di Sole in upcoming but do see La Thuile juniors. Hoping this is just an issue with Max that is resolved in the morning.
I feel like if it’s not out now - it’s not coming. You would think that some small communication to the fans would go a long way for them even if they tell us it’s not going to be shown this week. It’s also a bit worrying that Max shows the juniors as upcoming but nothing about elites.
