The 2021 Enduro World Series is underway with the first round, supported by Met Helmets taking place in the beautiful Val Di Fassa Trentino. The series last visited the Dolomites back in 2019 where it was Richie Rude and Isabeau Courdurier who tasted victory. Rest assured that this year's racing was down to the wire with riders challenging for the win at every stage.—GMBN
Yeah, different stages would be better, but it'd also be a huge effort to tape other courses plan for medical access in case of a serious crash, etc etc. And that's assuming there's even enough trails in the area for it. I mean hosting a race is already a huge amount of work, much less set it up twice. You can see why they'd want to do it this way. It'll be interesting to see how this works out.
@kcy4130: For sure, I understand that aspect of it. Id figure they would reuse at least 2 of the stages. But if you think about it, not any different than past races that have had 5 or 6 stages, not to mention normal 2 day race weekends that almost always have different tracks. Idk about available trails in the area. I hope at least they run stuff in a different order to mix up the day.
@wilsonians: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it works. I was a bit bummed that dh didn't keep some double headers this year. It seemed to work decently last year tho they could use some tweaking.
Its frustrating this coverage after so many seasons still can´t beat the first ones.... They are not focusing where the action is trully hapenning... they can have as many commenters as they want.. but if they don´t move their ass and go and show us the huge huphill from stage 3 with all the suffering and drama involved there... this coverage doesn´t make sence at all.. it´s even boring for the guys that we are riders... can´t imagine if they want to export this format to the masses... go live and re-thing all the coverage from start... just my 2 cents as visual producer too. Bring some Cathro style in please, if this is for riders we need content for riders that motivates us. This content is completelly missing that...
I think that the main problem is the voice of the comentator, he looks like a nice guy, but his commentary is totally lacking energy and emotion. He has improved a bit from ths first races some long years ago, but still I don't think he should be in charge of that
congrats to the winners ,and great result to Jose ,but showing him with a rider on is back is like what ?did he pass the rider or he is slow and make the other rider slow down ?thats strange video , but ok he is from a small country, cause if he was from a different country he will be mentioned like a star stay strong JOSE
Why do the commentators keep saying that Hill couldn’t travel last year because of travel restrictions when plenty of other Australia athletes did? If he chose not to that his choice but I wish the commentators would stop making out it wasn’t his choice
These aren't video highlights anymore. And they don't even show or tell the actual stage results anymore either, just how the overall changes... what a waste...
i mean...the question is: why do organizers let dumbass with 2strokes chainsaw disturb the racers in key sections? without considering that they are annoying the rest of the spectators.
@mtb-scotland: Blake can ride the shit out of anything. Can’t fault gmbn. Bit shit in the early days but it’s a decent channel now. It’s mbuk repackaged for 2021.
@mtb-scotland: how old are you dude? Back as yoot in the 90’s we used to wait religiously for the new copy of mbuk. I don’t know what it’s like these day but I’m getting a similar vibe from gmbn. Really can’t complain since it’s free and you don’t have to watch it.
I feel like it's kind of a dick move to tell everybody in an interview how you've not been training and been off the bike for 2 months after you've won the race, no matter the circumstances. Seems like kicking the other riders while they're down, all of whom obviously tried very hard and didn't win.
@ackshen: I don't see how that's relevant though. She coulda just said that she had a rough couple of months and this win means a lot to her. Her feeling the need to flaunt her talent in that situation is what makes it weird to me.
Eat your heart out.
