The UCI & Skydance Unveil 2027 Mountain Bike World Cup Race Calendar

@JohSch: Well I think it worked for Whistler, so it should work for other places if they do it right. I heard from a couple people who work up there that they estimate about $30 million CAD in extra revenue was collected by all levels of business over the weekend. Whistler sold 84000 spectator lift tickets at $27 each and sold out every parking spot at Creekside which is almost $2.5 million in ticket revenue. Town was at 99% capacity with 90000 people in Airbnbs and hotels on what would otherwise be a quiet weekend.

UCI stuns the world by making mountain bike racing worse.

@the-smith: Most people watch on Redbull TV by far, not Youtube. No ads to deal with.

@suspended-flesh: yeah. That’s my point. There’s not a lack of people. There’s a lack of people that care.

@zephxiii: Makes it more understandable. But there are 5 million people living within 3 hours of Lake Placid according to Google. Which is pretty similar to Whistler.

I think there were more people at the Rock Garden in Whistler than at this entire race.
