Obviously all this is speculation but damn I'm worried. Loved that you could watch the full replay whenever. Living in the PST time zone I would normally wake up, go for a quick ride and then watch the full replay at my leisure. As long as you stayed off social media it was like watching live. Also bummed that we wont be hearing Rob, Elliot or Tracey any more. Whats the chance that they find some dude who have never even ridden a bike to commentate this?

Matt Walker was also on drys per Wyn tv. I'm curious about the rest of the podium? Poor Greenland, bitter way to crash. Was Camille the only woman to have an entirely clean run? Maybe Louise Ferguson too, I'm not sure.

Totally agree. No one else did the gap as well as him, everyone else who launched out that far nearly lost it. It was how many years ago Gwin recruited him as an up and comer on YT? Great to see him on the podium after years of injury.

This is the most ominous part of all. How are people who didn’t know there were factory teams going to”bring it to the next level”? This is like when someone tell you they just got a really nice mountain bike at Dick’s and we should go ride sometime. By the way, whats next level mean, anyway? If it doesn’t bring more income to the racers, more track coverage, and no more ads than RB coverage had, it’s going in the wrong direction. Gnarlier courses are not part of it - I think we’re already at a point where some course...

dude the UCI is HYPED to sit back and let someone else run it. All the UCI is interested in is the money WBDiscoWS (what are we calling them?) paid for the right to do so. UCI will count their money, shrug their (scrawny) shoulders, sell it to someone else... I do not like them sam i am

The biggest difference between Red Bull and Discovery is that Red Bull didn't need to make money on broadcasting. Like their athlete sponsorships and events, Red Bull TV was a marketing exercise to promote drink sales. Advertising, in and of itself, is typically money-losing. Discovery's revenue stream, by contrast, is the actual video content. Not saying Red Bull TV didn't have it's own revenue source through ads, but even with the ad revenue, I'd bet my bottom dollar that Red Bull's world cup coverage still "lost money" and was heavily subsidized by drink sales.

The problem with "the next level" is that it can be the one below as well as the one above.

that is true and i remember being skeptical of red bull after freecaster. but red bull is a privately owned company with a history of participation and investment in *action sports*. discovery+ is part of warner bros which is a publically traded company. 2 weeks ago, their stock was at $18.76. this morning it was at $13.70. maybe it'll be $50 in six months. maybe it won't. all i'm saying is there are a lot more people with input on where money goes at warner bros than red bull.

Now if I was Red Bull I’d be making all sorts of events like Hardline to showcase dh racing in a better way on better bigger techy tracks built by the best riders in the world and that could easily become the more popular discipline if it gets more viewers and ultimately sponsorships for riders

are people bummed about the ads on a red bull broadcast? i can't say i've ever noticed them in a way that detracted from the watching experience.

All I can think of is Olympics coverage. "And now back to the studio" after we see 2 minutes of coverage. This is going to be ugly from what we are seeing so far. No live coverage, instead some highly edited hits reel with 40% of the 30 minute show dedicated to commercials.
