 Urban racing should be safe enough, the UCI aren't involved.

 Tbh, the production quality on this was way lower than wc races. How there wasn't a zoom cam doing closeup on the long stairset baffles me

 Seems like the Red Bull coverage over emphasized the Euro competitors as compared to the SA locals. Missed opportunity to tell some interesting stories.

 Good tip, thanks! Love the analytics of the track

By the way, what's that ebike doing in the studio?

 Its a specialized enduro, not an e-bike. They mentioned that there are a lot of enduro riders, so that's probably why.

 @delarscuevas: I know, some of these new bikes with crazy suspension geometry. If you really want to be surprised, look at the new Scott bikes!

 So they can pedal up to get more runs in unlike the lazy retro bikers who get a truck up. Something like that I'm sure

 Man what an amazing race!! Crazy how narrow the win time was. I love this track. The Colombian race wasn't as interesting imo, still super fun to watch.

 That was crazy when the drone crashed at 30:40

 Love this more than trail racing because the course is insanely dangerous with all the concrete walls, ground and obstacles being all concrete killers!!

 Was there really a random dog on the course at times!!
