It's like research doesn't exist.

First Ride: Specialized Turbo Levo SL - The Electric Stumpjumper EVO
I like the motor boost of the lightweight but don't really like the heft of a full e-bike. This works in that sweet spot. Good enough power, very similar feel to a non e-bike on the decents.

Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
Perhaps if they were humble before their first broadcast there would be room to be impressed with improvements (if they are made). I feel like now, they've set the bar so high with their press releases about taking the sport next level / things you've never seen before / complete coverage etc etc that it will be impossible to meet their own hyperbole. I also think by running the ASO's mouth like that the subtext is Redbull didn't do an adequate job which many die hards and long time fans disagree with.

Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
Ric McLaughlin's commentary is mostly dull.
“As well as broadening the reach of the series, Warner Bros. Discovery will revolutionise the way mountain biking is watched by fans across the globe. With over 20 cameras on course, supplemented by three camera drones, the mountain biking viewer experience will be completely transformed at each event – offering fans entirely different angles from each venue and ensuring every major moment is captured in every single race - a first for the sport.”
..Next level hyperbole. They set their own bar through this statement. Now when someone crashes off camera, they aren't living up to this. Perhaps put together a good event first before blasting out statements like this that no one will believe until they see it.

Pinkbike Primer - Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the First Enduro World Cup
@bashhard: 100 percent sarcasm. The next level coverage is the same as the previous level coverage now with 2000 era graphic design and next level hyperbole.
