Who's gonna win in the Enduro Class? Forbidden Dreadnought? Orbea Rallon? Norco Range? Any others? Bet the riders were happy to have bottle cages so they could stay hydrated during those long uplift queues.

Whoops...

Vital is crushing it. Much appreciation to the whole team.

The worst thing about the Repeater is the cable routing through the headset top cup

i'm not 100% positive, but based on our experience, it may have been UCI, not RB, that put footage restrictions in place.

What I’m most worried about is Red Bull was definitely under the impression that all good coverage is good for them. They have helped cathro along instead of stifled him. There has always been a fair number of unofficial media at the tracks and they are treated fairly if they aren’t a total ignoramous. They have also put the effort into improving the product. Was not uncommon for them to change an angle between a double header to better show a portion of track and they have done this over the years at all the tracks. Dh is an incredibly...

We all eat, breath, drink, some sort of "poison" knowingly or unknowingly all the time I get sick of hearing it every time energy drinks are mentioned, I wonder how many people that make "just drink water" comments are straightedges themselves. Most of that type say RedBull is poison, so is beer, soda, coffee, and Flint water. RB sells a product you can buy it or not, don't want a RB don't have one. Yes water is bette for you but, Water tv has really shitty coverage of DH, Rally, Dakar, or other fringe sports I would rather watch than...

AFAIK Olympics has a set number of medal sets. So to bring a sport in, another one has to be dropped. Because they could only bring in climbing under one set of medals, they did this menage a trois for a single medal. Might be dumb, but I'm not complaining as we got a gold medal out of it But yeah, don't really see DH as something that would make sense for the olympics, even though skiing is part of the winter olympics...

So this mean that riders will have a better pay, better insurance and health coverage in case of accidents due to higher exposure to media?.... Well we know the answer, the things will remanin the same for riders and the big money will go to the same companies than before and some new ones not sharing and giving a F...K about the sport. Anything that the UCI or big media touch become s...t.

Your arguments make little sense. Red Bull drink is marketed as a consume in moderation product, Coca-Cola is certainly not and the sugar and caffeine differences per serving are of negligible difference. I'm not sure what questions you have about Red Bull's "money flow" but the drinks company is essentially a marketing company and off-shoots like Red Bull Media House (who do WC coverage) are, like their F1 teams, a part of their diversification away from beverages only. As for POV footage from WC races, any rider can run a camera in finals if they sign waiver and they can...

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.

if they don't hire warner, we kickstarter to get an alternative audio stream of warner. also, over the last two-three years b/c of red bull free streams, watching XC has been awesome. i never cared before, but the coverage had me tuning in. hopefully that continues as well.

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...
