Not a bad showing by Continental! Teams were running these at Snowshoe world cup last year. Cool to see them released

Just bought a Ripmo, and I'm a little disappointed about the cables rattling inside the frame haha!

That's some really nice cable pathing on that frame. As an Ibis owner, I can really appreciate that.

They'll probably use that fat guy who used to announce crank works. You remember, the one who yelled "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR" after each and every single trick... Goddam, that guy was annoying. We've come a long ways in commentary, eh. Edit, replying to Poweredbyhotdogs.

To my knowledge Disney does not own Discovery. Disney does own NatGeo though. Discovery owns Eurosport so maybe they already have some infrastructure in place to cover cycling, but I would not want to be them stepping in to take over covering the world cups. It's not the same as covering a road race. And Red Bull has put in a ton of work to improve their system over the years. Unless Discovery is poaching all kinds of staff from Red Bull then they are going to step in a big pile of their own hubris for a while as...

I hope everyone that made a complaint about the FREE redbull coverage over the years, wishes they did not. Redbull changed the entire landscape of DH and XC racing. Huge resurgence for both sports, in terms of viewership since Redbull got involved. They built hype, excitement and did it well. It is an incredibly hard sport to cover, logistically and they got better and better. UCI owes redbull a debt of gratitude. Too early to tell what will come of this, perhaps DiscoTV will lead us to a whole new audience? and that can be good. I just don't know...

red bull media house is definitely not small, but it's fairly focused on sport/human achievement. red bull is also a private company. discovery is publicly traded with a variety of other channels (or whatever they're called) like animal planet, hgtv etc. they also own GMBN (play sports group), too, so maybe that can only help. some background on what discovery sports says it will be https://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-newsroom/discovery-sports-unv… (from that page) [i]"Discovery Sports’ services engage fans and broad audiences in more than 200 markets and in over 20 languages, connecting them with the greatest sporting events in the world. This includes being...

I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before someone put WC streams behind a paywall. Whether it was Red Bull or otherwise

Anyone who works in the TV realm know how Monster Energy has kept the Supercross series under this whole time? I have to assume that if RedBull & Monster are still involved in the process, that title sponsor is going to be the monetary battle front we the viewers will have to hope proves profitable. If title sponsorship via Discovery is profitable enough for Discovery (which is how it's SUPPOSED TO WORK), then the advertisement covers the cost of our viewing experience. I loved paying for the Peacock network last year so that I could watch all the qualifying and...

Anyone know if discovery's roadie coverage is any good? The only thing I know about them is they own gmbn... and to be honest I can't stand anything they put on youtube. Their ews recaps aren't as good as they could be either. More to the point, I hope this doesn't signify that red bull (or red bull media) will be reducing it's involvement in mtb in general. I'm not a big fan of any energy drink, but rb has done a lot for mtb. Best case scenario (i.e. probably a total fantasy) they're doing this so they can setup...

Oh wow. Time to make a bag of popcorn and head over to the comment site. On a more serious note the red Bull and uci mtb partnership seemed to really work well for everyone. The discovery and ews partnership has been pretty rough. Not that there aren’t other factors but I think a major factor Reese Wilson’s career has exploded is the spotlight he gets on Red Bull and he doesn’t even wear one of their helmets. If jack was having the year he is having in dh he wouldn’t YouTube vids to make a payday. The quality and...

IMO, Red Bull TV is also "large, corporate media." But they've mostly done a good job with the WCDH broadcasts and I loved being able to watch the replays after work for free. I really hope a free viewing option remains and that the quality of coverage--camera angles, commentary, etc--doesn't drop with this move.

I won't jump to conclusions just yet since this is still a ways away. But I have to appreciate the ease of using the RedBull TV app on my phone and TV to watch races. Honestly a real luxury that I guess I took for granted ! Hopefully Discovery does a decent job with it. RedBull fit well into the...
