 Don’t know about you, this is my first time this season watching DH live. Liked it very much, even if it was the semi-final. For sure the knowledge and experience of Nicole and Gwin were a bonus !

 Does anyone else use the GCN+ app and cast it to a Chromecast? I do, and every single race there's a sound delay. I've reset everything I can, changed the Chromecast settings, did this, did that, nothing sorts it. It's absolutely fine streaming from YouTube, but the finals aren't on YouTube. Flipping annoying. Was the same during the World Champs, tried watching the trials and it was ruined by the gasps of the crowd five seconds before the rider made the move!

 I have the same issue, have to keep clicking fast forward to update the sound. Pretty annoying given we’ve paid for this..

 This GCN+ app is a must have for the riders. It warns them that they will fall.

 What a run from Greenland!!! 100% fan of this man.

 Excited. Let's see if we can get through this without the negativity that has been taking over PB lately. The racing this year has been outstanding and I can't wait for the semis. Maybe we should make a rule that noone can post a comment unless they have just finished a ride. That should increase the stoke a lot I reckon

 I’ve got broken ribs from a crash and can’t ride. Can I still post a comment?

 Why being positive when they cancel the junior race ? Absolutely disgusting for them. If the track was too dangerous yesterday why not today ?

 @wblh: I get what you mean about the negativity but... it's basically deserved.

 I am very positive about semifinals, it's the only dh I watch this year

 @notphaedrus: UCI says that you're still able to get to the keyboard and medical help can get to you if needed. Keeping typing the good type.

 negativity taking over PB "lately"?
Man, it has always been the case that pinkbike comments are on the negative side. Nothing new.
And often, as in this case, th negativity is well deserved

 Yeah… nah. Not really sure why you (or anyone) would actively preach that fans (and riders who have commented on PB too) should keep quiet and just deal with the overwhelming amount of issues that have been plaguing this sport since the change in broadcasters.

 People are moaning become the coverage and commentary has been naff this year, so I say fair enough
  • 2 0
 Is this is the first one they are offering as a complete replay? It's the first I've noticed.
  • 6 6
 Due to weather forecast, racing cancelled and podium will be time training ranking
  • 1 0
 This would be an outcome we can all live with. Too bad timed training no longer exists Frown

 @mi-bike: totally agree. I miss blenki winning tt
  • 2 1
 they talked to the riders and then they decided to cancel it????
  • 5 0
 I caught this too. All the coverage from riders and teams says otherwise.

 Plot twist

 Ah found it in the stream now.
I highly doubt that statement is true.
The only thing Wyn and so on said is that apparently a pre-runner they sent down wasn't able to get down, that might be the only rider they asked.
some juniors were on top of the mountain and had to get back to the gondola because it got cancelled, when exactly should they have sat together with the organizers?
  • 5 5
 Looks like the junior race could be happening right now! You know....rid this semi crap.

 does anybody know the name of the uci woman in the start hub?

 What I would love to see would be a PB comment section race on this "boring,easy,one line" track.
I actually would pay to watch that.
  • 4 0
 who calls this track "boring, easy, one line"?
It's one of the steepest and widest-taped tracks in the last years
  • 3 1
 @bashhard: so many "experts" have been spitting on that track, until....
  • 1 0
 I guess some people didn't watch the first videos of the track and the comments on it being easy and boring.
