The Eyeball Lawlor is back!!

Spot on, gone are the days of a young Aussie or Kiwi buying a one way ticket to Europe, buying a shit old sprinter van and eating Petrol station bagguettes to make a career from riding bikes down a hill fast as fuck. 20+ Vanzacs have made successful careers from exactly that spirit of loving the sport and doing whatever it takes to succeed. Having a Mum who fondled an aliens balls on TV 25 years ago shouldn't be the new status quo. I used to wear an onion on my belt, as was the style at the time

I watched Crankworx on Chromecast this weekend and I can still cast stuff from RBTV without issue (checked just now), not sure why it's not working for you, maybe a problem with Chromecast?

Redbull and Freecaster were better for two reasons: 1. I knew how and where i was going to watch a race, no matter where I was, every single season. 2. Rob. And not just Rob, but the money Redbull pumped into him to have him learn to go from stealing Cedric;s beers in the Freecaster booth, to someone who could announce an F1 race if they needed him to. No matter his co-announcer, save for Elliot who's been a perfect match up so far, he became the official voice during Hill's Val De Sol disaster in 08 and that built...

There's a carve-out for anyone the UCI deems worthy; riders granted entry at the "... discretion of the UCI and WBD Sports, considering factors such as UCI team rankings and the profiles of their individual athletes."

The course Marshall's removing a "golden ticket" holder from the C pits after they are disqualified for reentering the course in the wrong spot....

A round of applause for Mr. kranked, everyone?

WHOOP THERE IT IS

Shout out big privilege, he's a good dude. Always up at mountain creek, just a normal dude that likes riding bikes (with a rap career). I love that it he brings representation for a minority in our sport.

I can with 100% certainty say you're incorrect. "We're all better for it." is immeasurably short-sighted. I only typed that thing up because I didn't want the poster to feel like I was making a judgement on him (or anyone else). It costs me nothing to make sure the people who haven't earned any sort of negativity from me don't perceive any negativity from me towards them. For many of us life is hard. We're all humans and we all feel things differently based on what our hour/day/week/month/year has been like. I don't need to contribute negativity into anyone's life...

I didn't have a lot of time for Matt Jones before he started pumping out pre-hardline vids. Not that I had anything against him, he was just another in a sea of YouTube riders and I started to burn out from them a few years ago. But this event he really separated himself from the pack and it seemed like he massively improved the last month riding with everyone. Big fan of the vibe. Erice... Damn. Glad she's relatively ok but that's some scary shit. I hope she heals up well.

I thought Asa was more Bernard like, kinda out of control speed style. He was mega charging at the top. I'd say Jackson is the smooth and controlled style, he squashed the top drops so hard he landed so far up on the landings, made it look like he was barely moving.

That was incredible racing! Great way to start the '25 season. Was up past 10pm watching with my 11yo daughter, glued to the a screen, whooping it up. Coverage was awesome. Commentary, well, as good as it gets! Unreal riding by everyone. That course was really cool.

Man that was just GOOD in every sense of the word. Hill just doing Hill lines The young colombian dude riding like his life depended on it TROYYYY Fearon the fastest electrician in the world, back to work Monday Champ, no RDO's! Asa and Goldstone are the future - I'm all for it. And to top it off, the sweet sounds of Rob Warner through my soundbar at volume 69! What a day to be alive.

What a fucking treat! Getting to watch some of the bleeding edge of our sport mix it up with some all time legends was rad as hell. Getting to see a full Sam Hill, Connor Fearon run these days is few and far between. What a fuckin rad event. Also those belt drive bikes so soooooo nice. Really everyone’s bike just sounds so dialed. It was nice that the top of the track was just rides so you could hear everything working. @brash i agree. It started at 7pm for me. That was a fuckin party

I think a lot of the hate on the WB coverage is because of the increased expenses. Team fees more than quadrupled, race coverage is now locked behind a paywall (that gets almost 300% more expensive to watch this year), and promise from WB of improved coverage. WB hasn't delivered on any of the promised improved coverage and much of the available coverage has been poor (extremely wide drone shots that barely show the rider, shots that cut out the rider's legs and the bike, cutting away from a race run to show a team manager) poor commentary, and just...

with troy so spooked, it has to be insane! can't wait

I got $5 on Troy Brosnan 🤣. Just had this strange gut feeling. He's crafty
