fun house Added a reply to UCI grant Discovery WC rights from 2023 to 2030
9/27/2023 10:23pm You may or may not be right, but world champs is filmed/broadcast separately from world cups. Different teams and rights.

fun house Added a reply to UCI grant Discovery WC rights from 2023 to 2030
2/27/2023 9:52pm I was watching some road race coverage from Lanterne Rouge (if you know, you know), and he's running a quick ad with a 15% off GCN+ annual pass ($50 CAD). I decided to check what the coverage was like this year, because in Canada they usually don't have broadcast rights for all the major world tour races. Browsing the list...

There were problems with the coverage of the Giro D'Italia road race too, and a lot of intl press was frustrated with the coverage.

10/19/2020 9:20am This topic would make a great video for someone to film at the next WC pit, just sayin'. We've heard from the armchair racers, what about the real racers!

10/19/2020 7:57am Regardless of whether you think it was a DQ or not Im surprised there is also differing opinions as to whether Bernard was being a whiny baby in Wyn TV. Seemed like he had nothing to say about his own run, and instead complains about others. If all that is required for the UCI to investigate is a complaint, then...

10/16/2020 9:19pm Also rewatching that Tahnee run, I don't think I realized at the time that she ran over the poles instead of leaving the poles. I guess there really is a difference between wheels on/off the ground, as silly as that sounds. The still image in Cathro's video is pretty extreme example of this! Would be awesome if in the next...

10/16/2020 9:16pm I find your point counter-intuitive. If the base of the pole is what matters, then why is the rest of the pole there? And why aren't they all set up perfectly vertical?

10/16/2020 8:02pm Revisting this video really makes me miss Amaury. https://youtu.be/JDiyOBVD4hw?t=1105 How different would this discussion (and Suarez's run) be if the poles were not "safe", ie were rigid unyielding pieces of metal. Interesting that the safety component adds to the ambiguity.

10/16/2020 12:32pm I see where youre coming from with that screenshot, but I think it still stands. To me it doesnt matter where the pole originates in the ground. If that were the case, they wouldn't specifically put poles in at extreme angles, rahter than always 90 degrees. Im struggling to remember one from last year near a jump that was also...
fun house Added a reply to UCI World Cup DH nerd question re: 60 qualifiers
5/11/2020 12:32am Yes exactly, what was the best final result from someone who qualified 61-80, excluding protected riders. For example: Privateer John Doe qualified 69th at Mt St Anne in 2013, but finished top ten in finals.
fun house Started a new thread UCI World Cup DH nerd question re: 60 qualifiers
4/28/2020 12:07am Before this rule change was enacted, and ignoring protected riders, what were the best results ever posted by someone who qualified in position 61-80? Same goes for women with the change there (sorry I don't remember the numbers off hand). Excited to hear what the arm chair historians have to share!

3/19/2020 8:33pm Between working from home and having a lot of time to kill I was thinking about catching up on the XC races I rarely watch. What were the best races from 2018/19? No spoilers!

5/22/2019 1:04am Interesting to compare how differently things were handled between breaking something relatively small like a crank in this case to when a rival team's leading man smashed a frame in half.

We're talking about a bunch of lunatics riding their bikes as fast as they can down a muddy mountain. Let them be their natural selves, whether they swear or not. I'd rather see an authentic personality than a PR robot.

6/22/2018 9:13am ^ What is MXoN? Motocross of Nations Im guessing? Will it be the same format for women? Team of three? France is strong in Men's but in Women's will CRUSH.

6/22/2018 12:51am What's everyone think of the EWS world champs format? Seems kind of odd to me on first thought. Do any other disciplines do it that way? (top 3 riders from each nation race together in the championships, and the nation with the lowest combined time wins) What about mechanicals etc? Who will race with Sam? What Nation has the best...

6/10/2018 12:13am Will Loris be rocking the #1 plate on raceday? Im assuming he earned enough points in qualifying to surpass Gwin.
