Red Bull has announced that Eliot Jackson and Tracey Hannah will be heading into the commentary booth this year as they join the team for World Cup coverage.
After announcing her
retirement from World Cup racing last year, we have all been waiting to see what Tracey Hannah had planned for this year. Now it appears that one of her plans is to join Rob Warner in Red Bull's coverage of the Women's downhill racing this year.
Eliot Jackson is also joining Red Bull's World Cup coverage team this year. He is no stranger to commentating with experience on the Crankworx live streams and hosting Red Bull's World Cup YouTube highlights in past seasons. We have loved his insight and coverage of World Cups, so we can't wait to see him move into a commentating role for Red Bull.
Alongside the two latest additions to the team, Rob Warner, Bart Brentjens, Lauren Smith and Claudio Caluori will be returning in their roles for 2021.

| Soooo excited to finally be able to share that I will be in the commentary booth at some of the races this year on Red Bull TV!!!
What a surreal moment! Who would have ever thought I would be in that seat!? Feel like life just keeps reinforcing that hard work pays off. Those 100s of interviews, BBC presenter training, Crankworx commentary, Red Bull Bike YouTube highlights, Grow Cycling Foundation pitches and presentation, etc. have alllll led to this moment.
Dream bigger than you ever thought possible and you’ll probably end up looking back and wondering why you thought so small.— Eliot Jackson |
| So excited to share with you that I’ll be attending all the World Cups working alongside Rob Warner commentating the women’s downhill racing thanks to Red Bull Bike.— Tracey Hannah |
I like her very much and why not covering both women and men's racings?
Women covering women's racings?
Men covering men's racings?
Cyborgs covering eMTB racings?
"Slippery roots! waaaigghahah!"
And while we're at it get Dirt back.
Gravity mountain biking needs more perspective and representation back that whats happens to be going on inSquamish
Cunny was great and so much of a better match to Rob. Claudio is killing Rob‘s flow in commentating. My wife is getting angry every time she hears him!
@korev: yeah, it's not nice, but I'm sure he doesn't base his self-esteem on his commentating chops. He's probably got a great family and many fingers in a lot of sweet pies around the world. He can rise above it, hopefully.
I will never say he is a loser or a chump or whatever. He has achieved a lot, and as I said in my OP, he is good at many things.
Definitly not trying to assassinate his character!
I've always felt like Crankworx played 2nd fiddle to UCI in racing, but I feel like they had made some strides the past couple years. I hope this doesn't set them back too much.
Rob has grown old, boring and keeps on talking about Kaprun.
