 Brilliant!! Very well done. I started the first ‘Inside the Tape’ years ago working for Pinkbike at CWX events and it is awesome to see it evolve into works of art like this! Very informative for us mtb nerds. Keep up the good work Ben (and team) and can’t wait to watch the finals in a few hours!

 Hah I think it was the Whistler EWS back in 2017. I was like 3 months into the job, drinking from the firehose, and ITT was one of my first actual projects. @bretttippie lets do something at Crankworx this summer!

 If there is any chance of someone reading this who can bend an ear at Redbull, can you please pass on that their app's search function is terrible.
A big race they're covering is today, it's at Fort William - but you try searching for it (to see when coverage starts). It's hopeless

 Finding stuff in the Redbull app has always been an excercise in frustration, but you would be better off complaining on a Redbull video that might be monitored by its staff.

 I normally agree. The search function is awful. But this one shouldn't have been hard. Open the app and simply click live TV and you are right at the UCI race.
