Video: Official Highlights from the Derby Enduro World Cup 2023

 would be great but it wont happen soon. redbull had best drone live broadcast tech available , and still way poorer quality than broadcast cameras , article was in rampage comments. redbull had up to 50 staff for 1 track. today at least 3 tracks had pro men and pro women at one time. if it can be done with an appropriate budget for this level of audience engagement, ,please tell me how.

 Just imagine how fun watching hour long liaisons would be! Count me in.

 @CleanZine: your imagination is nicer than mine. I was imagining some don't look up scenario. with 50kg multirotor, multicamera movie drones. flying 50kmh between trees, 2 meters away from the spectators. with multiple helicopters above receiving the feed through the trees, flying for 6 hours a day each, in all weather conditions, burning a bike Tyres worth of gas a minute each. I think my coverage would need a parental rating and a hug after watching it.

 Why is my wishes "below treshold"? Am I saying something bad by wanting to watch more Enduro, or are PB serving UCI-interest?
I would sincerely like to know what is so "outrageous" about my comments. Love enduro and dh.

 @Endurip: I think it probably comes down to two things. Firstly, every post about enduro has comments about live replays. It's clear it's not happening any time soon, so seeing different people saying the same thing gets old. Secondly, the comment about it being possible "with ease" is fundamentally wrong.

A few reasons in no particular order why that's the case:

- Some stages are over 10mins long. With 30sec gaps you can have the whole top 10 on course for 5mins simultaneously. How do you cover that properly? They couldn't even solve that in a satisfactory way in DH despite having a way "easier"/much more contained course to cover.

- Riders can be out for 6+hrs. Who is going to watch a 6+hr stream?

- Some of the liaisons can be an hour long. Who's going to watch them?

- Some riders have vlogs based just on GoPro footage. If the organisers have to make them wear cameras to stream it live, the ownership of that footage becomes much more problematic. We're going to see this play out in DH this year.

- With DH, they miss out key parts of tracks almost every week. How did Reece Wilson manage to win Worlds in the woods? We'll never know. That's on a much shorter, single track with a bigger budget and years of experience. They haven't solved that for DH, which is the easier one to solve. How do you work out the key sections for enduro when there can be multiple key sections in each stage, with 5-6 stages per race?

- It takes time to move all your camera operators from stage to stage, and realistically in more remote locations that isn't going to be possible while covering everything live. As you can see in the current coverage they have to limit the camera positions per stage to make it happen, and they have in the past missed some key things because of the time it takes to move people and equipment around.

These reasons aren't even touching on money, resources, limited internet in some locations, etc... It's just not viable, and won't be any time soon. I love watching enduro and would like to see more of it, but it's just not realistic unless there's a huge change in budget, camera tech, internet connectivity and probably format too. I'd rather have longer, wilder courses without full live coverage than shorter "coverage friendly" courses just to make it happen. Again, we're going to see this play out in DH.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying this to be harsh or anything, just putting some ideas out there.

 @CleanZine: Not saying you are completely wrong but since a YouTube like Nate Hills can live stream his own ride in the middle of nowhere all by himselves with a drone and go-pro shoves its not only possible but also don't need to cost a fortune. What I mean by live-broadcast is nothing really fancy. I understand that you cannot film the entire course. But I bet most people would be satisfied with some drones, go pro and a presenter that repors and analyses everything between (what the cameras can't show).
Just seeing the love the crowd att the resent two events showed would be something to show a lot more of, and would make great tv between the racing reports.

And, don't forget that Chris Ball promised that Enduro should be much more accessible live than before. But then mentioned nothing and so far nothings really improved.

 Look at you being all tough. Impressive performance.
