how sure are we that the semifinals and finals are on the same day? I got lost in that pdf more than a few times... seems UCI style, "okay, now you 30 go do it again," but I didn't see anything. Seems like Friday Qualifiers, Saturday Semis (shitty recap video), Sunday Finals (live broadcast) make most sense... And anyone saying that it's not three all-out race runs is crazy. Points on the line, clock is ticking, these guys will all be going ballistic. I don't give a rip about watching enduro or ebike enduro racing--has that been further ruined? XC...

not sure i'd consider adding semi finals as a separate "event". point on the money is more money = better ability to train, and more support staff for riders / teams. which is no secret that is lacking in DH mtb.

hate to point out the obvious, but i'm pretty sure there's a lot more money in skiing than DH mtb. same with moto. i like the idea of combined times. or even taking the best time of the 2 runs.
