From the comments on the article: "Done a bit of research. I expect GCN to be sold fairly quickly. There is no cycling listed in app beyond October 18 when road season ends. Cyclocross 23/24 completely missing despite starting on Discovery+ with USCX this weekend. Also UCI Track Champions League starting Oct 21 is listed on event website (joint UCI and Warner Bros Discovery event) as watchable in UK on Discovery+ and Eurosport only. No GCN. No broadcasters listed for US. It was good whilst it lasted."

You think Rob Hurst and Carlton Kirby are really good commentators? I had to turn off The Giro and didn't even bother with La Vuelta, they're both awful.

That would be amazing and hilarious in equal measure.

Seems to me CG is supposed to be replacing Claudio, and is doing just about as good a job as Claudio was doing. But the story of the race, the tension, the build up of the event, as well as the knowledge of the track and riders, the knowledge of racing, that was all Rob. Ric does not seem to have it. I hope he gets better.

I don't think I'm speaking out of my ass when I say that Cedric Gracia wasn't as technically savvy of a racer as some would think. Yes, he's French & French team tactics are amazing. But CG is a rogue. I've been there when he raced. I've been talked into stupid lines by him. I've been told my lines were too scary by him (literally...but in a joking manner) only to see him take a WAY scarier line than I would. He's all out talent & a fantastic guy. But I think we need a race tactician in the booth...

i'd like to think they would then go back and watch the replay of their own coverage to see the gap between attending the event and what they broadcast. like you said that's the product they are selling, one would think/hope they have a vested interest in ensuring they are capturing it in a way that the fans (aka their customers) are expecting.

Just give me good parts, not top of the line parts, but good parts that won't break and leave me without a bike for half the season, at a reasonable price. It's great places have warranty but I don't want to have to use it, I just want to ride, wash my bike, throw chain lube on and take it out next ride. New bikes with performance elite suspension shouldn't cost over $5000 Cad. And let me choose the paint color for a few bucks extra, that would be cool.

A truly waterproof headset would be nice. I live in a dry area and my headset still gets creaky and rusty way too soon. Obviously I wouldn’t buy a new bike because of only that

PB going away is sweet to me. After getting attacked and banned for just contrary opinions. They define the term Go Woke, Go Broke. Hilarious.

My pb account was banned for a year on the last UCI rule change article around trans-women. I used the phrase "men-living-as-women", trying to balance accuracy without being incendiary. I haven't been back.

Rampage 2021 was definitely the years gnarliest Slopestyle competition.

Tom's injury list reads like something out of war or a head on collision at highway speeds. He's one tough dude, and I wish him the best. Rant forthcoming... I watched that crash live (I feared the wrost), saw the injury update on pinkbike, have read the comments on instagram, here and PB. Here are some thoughts to what is sure to become a discussion over the coming weeks/months. Before this event started I asked myself the question: "If I was terminally ill, what would I attempt first, BASE jumping or an "easy" rampage line"? I decided I'd probably have...

what the heck is a chopper going so close to riders for... it caused the course poles to get disloodge and even cross over each other... that would have easily impacted his run on that stage by a couple of seconds at least.. not to mention the wind buffetting slowing him down....

the more interesting FACT, given that humans are CO2 producing machines (when we talk).... is the offsetting of the emissions through not talking ie forum usage and if that not talking is greater or less than if you ran your mouth off everywhere increasing your emissions... thus more sums needed to work out whether the sum of exhaled emissions is...
