Rob Warner, Emily Batty and Eliot Jackson break down the racing styles of Haley Batten, Laura Stigger and Martín Vidaurre from the UCI World Cup in Les Gets, France. With a special guest appearance from downhill winner Benoit Coulanges.— Red Bull
it would have been nice to ask Benoit where his improving curve has been mainly... is it about bike settins, team, gym, mental ? give us some keys for progression... cause now it seem we have 2 kind of winning riders... the ones who were born on wheels... and the ones who took them a decade like Kolb and Benoit which I really really apreciate and gives me hopee...

Emily's race career didn't end very gracefully but she definitely has the demeanor to rock an encore career in broadcast/commentary. I'd definitely tune in to watch the Rob & Emily Redbull show.
This is awesome, great insights. Benoit’s underdog story this on the heart strings! Marine’s return from two serious injuries was a little overlooked by other coverage, but what an impressive comeback! Glad it’s mentioned here.
I'm kind of surprised that these teams have managers and mechanics, but no one seems to be a designated coach so that role is taken up by these other team members. I wonder if we'll see teams invest in team coaches.
You guys may be onto something here. It’s plain to see that you’re still dialing things in. But PLEASE, at the very least, swap out Emily for a DH racer for half of the show.
We understand the need to have an XC viewpoint for the show. But the chemistry between Elliot, Rob and Rachel (and the insight) was so much better. No offense to Emily, but the chemistry and insight just ain’t there.
This show only works with the right vibe (episodes 1 & 2 are real meh while episode 3 hits the bullseye)
Elliot and Rob click so well, and their energy really complements each other. But you gotta build on that and find that rider who brings additional insight, like Rachel did.
I think Emily is great. She is learning, and excited about DH. And she has incredible insight into XC. She's certainly learning quicker than the new hosts they got for the live show at world cups...
(it was still cool anyway)
