Video: Wyn TV from Finals at the Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup 2022

 Wyn it to Finn it

 By the way, did the canadians medias say anything about this very special day?

 @danstonQ: Nope. Not that I heard mentioned
When Stevie won the 2013 overall, crickets.

 @danstonQ: out of curiosity, does the regular media in Europe mention mtb race results? Other than the Olympics I've never heard anything in US media about pro mtb. Closest thing we ever had was probably that edited (and 2 months after the actual event) replay of Rampage on NBC. Guessing Canada is similar?

 @danstonQ: Nothing mentioned, even in Vancouver news.

 @bkm303: Vali Hölls overall got like a 30s mention in the state tv sports programme

 @bkm303: our sport is completely underrated and neglected. In France, medias prefer to speak about the french losers of the Tour de France than about our successful mountain bikers. It's pathetic.

 Love Finn and his win, but is it too soon to talk about that disastrous bucket hat?

 @Kysic: not too soon, that shit is the worst lmao. Of all the hats in the world, why denim and why that brim?? Looks like my grandpa's fishing hat

 @bkm303: nah that hat is sick, but I think only kiwis and Aussies will understand.

It's partly familiar and partly ironic...

 Gwinos gonna go and win world champs yeooowwww

 Well said.

 Agree with the sentiment, but I predict that whatever happens, you will not be gone, nor will I or most of the other close followers and fans. People were screaming murder when Outside purchased Pinkbike and some articles moved behind a paywall, but has that really affected the visitor counts? My impression is that the comment section is as busy as ever.

With the World Cup, Pinkbike held a poll some time ago regarding people's preference: show more complete runs of fewer riders or continue as it is now. Plenty of people (can't remember if it was the majority) opted to see more of the top riders as opposed to the alternative.

UCI and Discovery do have some options to grow the WC series and popularity of gravity racing while reducing the rider count in the World Cup, all the while maintaining a way in for smaller teams and privateers. They could for example make a certain number of entries at every event available for those selected through smaller series, such as the European DH Cup or other regional series. Those smaller series would (need to) grow in importance, but if they do, it would be for sure a positive outcome.

 @mi-bike: I will need a pretty good reason to justify the money to watch DH next year.
If there will be a lame guy at the microphone and only 30 riders to watch, I will rather invest this time in some riding than being absent from the family on Saturday and having to pay for it.

 @squarewheel: You already only watch 30 riders. 60 in the final (plus a couple of protected riders that crashed in qually from time to time), but the "show" on TV is only 30 riders. If they cut to 30 riders in the finals, then that is bad for the fact that a 59 plate can come through to the podium, but if they are looking to speed up they day, then perhaps 50 would work???? So long as qualifications is open to a larger number, then people still have a chance of making the "show".

 3 of the best DH race runs of all time, no question about it. Awesome you got to see them all live!

 Is it true a strong tail wind came on at the end of Finn's run at the finish or is this just tales. I feel Stevie was pushing him to get there with the broken chain at the end. Man, my allergies are horrible today and my eyes won't stop watering. Agree, 3 of the greatest races of all time.

 I love it, I think my favorite was after Snowshoe Gracie Hemstreet just kept giving 2 word answers and Wyn just kept asking questions. "For sure... yeah... definitely... crazy".

 His interviews of Danny Hart are the best. I think there was animosity in the past, but they get along ok now. Gee is a close second.

 …and Camiele Balance totally looks and sounds like Camille Balanche. Although she does live up to the surname “Balance”!

 @MustGoFaster: not this week, or it too soon?

 Great result from newcomer Aaron Gein, I think this guy has a bright future in the sport.

 Ronan Duune looks familiar too

 Related to Ed Gein?

 I was shocked it made it through all the interviews.

 A bunch of us went to Canmore Brewing Co to re-watch the DH finals. The place went absolutely NUTS for Finn's run. Big ups to Brian at CBC for putting it up on the big screen.

 the show aint over til Wyn TV closes things out

 I wonder if he keeps a list of ideas...

 Must've built a whole bike from the bits by now?

 vale benitoooo!!!

 nothing wrong with it.
