It seems fairly clear that the UCI haven’t really known what to do with MTB for a long time and have effectively bundled up the entire thing and handed it over to ESO, that does raise some concerns in terms of oversight, basically who are ESO responsible to given that they seem to control prize money, course design and the very format of the competition. In F1 there is the owner of F1 (Liberty Media) and then a governing body (the FIA) for the technical aspects, race format etc…ESO almost seems to have control of both here. The other takeaway is much like F1 where fantastic circuits have been traded for low quality options in city centres it sounds very much like DH will become homogenised for broadcast. If 3 minutes is all that can be financially broadcast then tracks like Fort Bill are going to be cut significantly.

If it's too expensive, you could just...you know, not buy it.
