It was streamed live the race with 2 live POVs and 1 live dron and Helicopter… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_68DcAkG3PM The final resolution-speed when they exit the town is absolutely madness the battle between the 2 and I haven´t seen anything similar in any action sport… Here the right pick was the camera from Damien from the back The coverage still needs a lot to be improved… and don´t even consider the commentary is like they are completely chilling taking tea and biscuits in front of this absolute carnage and events. I wonder with a budget similar to the WC what it would be capable of this technology and show that has been around for 30 years almost… And why to underestimate these athletes because there´s amateurs in it? sorry but WC is a reduced club of athletes... when you completely open the field is much much harder... and is true natural selection of the best of the best... Look at Rudeau.. dominating in EDR and crashed hardly... but props to him to show up here... No news about this here in PB... it doesn´t deserve all this attention and details... we have to discover it spending countless hours into social networks to figure out the story of the race... To me the biggest and most complete show in mtbiking that allways has been an underdog when what the athletes do here with the exposure, battle and capabilites at all levels, should be the MAIN show now that EDR is almost unnoticeable, and DH and XC WC it´s every year the same same… This athletes and show deserves an opportunity to GO BIG and be taken really serious because is one of the biggest shows in sports I would say MOH and MegaAvalanche Alpe d´Huez… Prove is the milions of views from these POV videos on youtube and insta… and it is the only of our disciplines that actually can engage none cyclist audience along with rampage maybe too.... but 1+1+1 format is boring for the large audiences... you really have to be an expert to appreaciate the nuances... meanwhile live GC 1000+ at the time going down a mountain/glacier is nuts... Okay maybe by the 50th edition the technology will allow for a great cheap live streamming?… but who knows if we still be riding bikes bike then… do we have to wait that long? the technology is there now… bring a proper show!

it's been around for 30 years or so... pity never got the credit it deserves... some POV have millions of views and this year it's been live streaming with live POVs and drone... commentary was hilarious but...

1h prior the finish I got 1st, 2n dailed and 3rd was 6th (Brosnan), won the wattsapp fantasy with my friends.. Seeing everyone crashing I knew straight away the 3 riders would out stand.. It would be much fun the fantasy if it could be done prior the last 20th guys or something closer.

the worst is they actually film it, and ppl in the event can see it... but they don't want to broadcast it to larger audience...

it turns out his hand couldn´t hold the handlebar and popped out involuntary due to an early injury in his shoulder nerve they didn´t detect... so yes it was super weird and not normal guys..

@Rockintor: Yes great job, but really this is what we (he) deserve ??!… UCI/WB cut the budget so much we can´t even afford a second guy with a mic in front of the camera???!... or some drone shots and some more story of the race? Sorry this is a joke to me for a WC, even is a great job with the quality of the images, fast delivery, approach… just ridicule budget should make ashamed CB in a his crew...

But one week earlier for God sake!... not just after and between DH racing.. and not the same stages as the year before that many new riders couldn´t even barely train in... and multiday..( more adventure/spirit of enduro..) is what really caughts attention and live streamming / results / interviews

@IanJF: maybe if it woud be the weekend before DH... this is pointless into the middle of the DH show... it couldn´t be more dumb... this is literally the worst day of the year to put the enduro race... how someone can be this magnitude of stupidity after 15 years of enduro is beyond comprehension... Anyway thanks... going to whatch it now after the DH show... see how pumped I get...

@islandforlife: he wend outside the pole both in the air and land seems: https://postimg.cc/06Pt1Fdy

poles could jave been settled wider here in a blind windy leap/reception if the most talented rider on earth even fails at it...
