Cathro has some of the best sports analysis of any televised sport, not just biking. I could watch an hour of analysis for each race and still be hungry for more.

Yep. Could literally watch an hour of him spending 5 min at each section of track watching riders take different lines and analyzing them. I do have to say Needles did a great job on the Red Bull track preview, lots of great insights while riding at speed.

We need that Cathro tech analysis for the whole track! First time I've seen that, that's awesome!

It was like that, almost. Then redbull found out he committed some media rights violation and they had to find a middle ground (there is a video in which Ben explains it): 3 minutes per day, which is not nearly enough. I really hope he can find a way to produce longer videos again, because he is really good at what he is doing.

Ben’s analysis is spot on. You learn so much from him. He needs to become an official part of the broadcasting team. He should be allowed to break down the entire course like this and make that part of the regular broadcast. It would give the average viewer an idea of the skill and athleticism of these WC level riders. Not to mention how having that background of knowledge in your head adds to the awe factor when you witness someone really shred the course.

Be sick if Red Bull would give Cathro some commentary work with Rob... His analysis is spot on and he's an engaging presenter.

After watching his video and Vital raw, I want to change my reply to the question if I could ride a WC track!

dvbwn (Jun 8, 2018 at 21:57)

I went and changed it to the walk a lot. It looks manageable on the pov but this did a good job of showing how tough a track they are dealing with.

Riding these tracks at WC speed is something special, but let's be real...

Pretty cool to see Luca send those first 2 gap jumps that everyone else avoids. I know they are probably slower.

His head injury in Losinj turned bad and he had to drain blood from his skull a month later. Riding in his condition is not ideal..

Hey Pinkbike, don't want to publish the course preview (the official one) done by RedBull with Loic Bruni ?

If anything he'd be the Scottish Spomer, no?
