The puzzling continues as the world's elite Downhill riders descend on Lenzerheide, Switzerland for the 4th round of the 2021 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. The alpine resort is renowned as a typical bike park track but that doesn't make it easy as riders struggle to get their setup dialled for the flat turns, loose berms and steep chutes.

Such a brilliant video! Eliot has a way of making the riders seem....really human, yet pro racers. And he knows it from the inside. I'm not a total anorak in the world of DH, but I think Eliot finds that line of talking to everybody in the audience from n00bs to the hard core followers. I like his style, seems to make the riders relax and enjoy being interviewed.
Great editing too.
Amen. His commentary with Rob Warner during races is not bad. I like Claudio, but lately he has said some weird shit. Hopefully Eliot gets back in the box with Rob more often!
Miss seeing his riding videos too, such a smooth big mountain style. Suppose he's busy being behind the mic. Brendog, Ratboy and Eliot are among my favorite riders to watch fool around on the bike.
Kinda creepy how everyone is standing so still in the background of the interview with Laurie Greenland. It's like someone accidentally hit pause on the ~~simulation~~
@mobiller: "kills it" well 45 races and no top ten..... Sry but Claudio is more understandable when he speaks and have a better analize of the race. Let Elliot interview racer with his good mind and cool attitude but not to comment the races
Eliot seems like a nice guy, but I wish he would take a course with a professional commentator. Constant giggling and "Whaaaat?!?!" C'mon dude, offer some proper insights into their bike setup or training techniques.
