I wonder if this is why Ric seems to have reined in saying the venue name every 2 minutes during race commentary? He knows what's coming.

I'm really interested to see this track, they've done a very good job of keeping it under wraps. Outside of a few photos some months ago I've not seen anything. I can't think of another new venue that's had so little attention in the months running up to the race.

Was listening to that yesterday and it basically confirms that Sam Hill will be riding a new Foes DH bike at some point!

My prediction for 2025 is UCI intensifying their efforts to shut privateers out.

worst. idea. ever. hope it's not true. just more risk for some riders. DH is not moto, it's not F1, they're not racing against competitors on the same track at the same time. if 20 finalists is "the best tv show" for the numbers to make sense, then just leave it at that. we'll all be upset for a year or two about how it's not like the old days, lick our wounds and riders will either try to compete for top 20 or regional/national series will become more populated. i can't even imagine the cost to put on a...

25mm rims is still the best to ride! my opinion

At least 2 free feeds could be found for the Elite finals. Seems just stoopid to pay for a jacked up stream. *uck Discovery and the UCI. Bring back Freecaster! USA racing looking good with Mega Rise Dak, Low Pro Luca, SoCal Austin, Muscly Maples, DHSE Newkirk, Transition Tilly, and of course Asa the Chosen One. Thanks for the Fantasy league Vital. Way better than that pink one.

Pretty sure that he's just doing the French broadcast. Our prayers have been answered.

In other sad news, just spotted Cedric Gracia at fort William on Troy’s vlog with a microphone in hand. as big of a legend that he is, I really really really hope it’s just Gwin and Rik in the commentary booth tomorrow!

I'm fully on with this. Not sure why some peeps are getting downvoted for similar opinions. I appreciate this is fort bill and that there are new "sections," but it's the same track. People have been riding this track for 15 years...it's why it will be off the circuit soon. This is the only track where I like the "motor way." it is necessary down there. You want best jumpers to win, time Dark Fest. If I had my druthers, I would just ask for more variety across tracks...widen the tape in some areas for line choice, narrow it in...

Good to see Rachel speaking out.

I hate these guys.

AFAIK there has never been coverage of qualis. Pretty shit that they've dropped the semis coverage though, I didn't tune in to many of them last year as I found it was too much to view in one day, but I had thought I'd be more interested to watch this year as they're a day earlier. Now there's no coverage it makes them seem more pointless than ever.

It really is a piss take that Vital RAW is the best coverage of world cup DH events we've seen both last & this season. Just watched the UCI practice wrap on YouTube and it was rubbish in comparison.

So from that press conference it sounds like the threat of a strike got rid of the semi finals. I'm surprised that's not bigger news. Get on the Headline Spommer!

Can Jake and Shaffer go to Rock Shox?? They made the Boxxer look like a 40, why stop there?

Imagine a company with known financial troubles invests in a world class factory team and being upset because the artwork on the huge semi truck isn’t your jam
