Counting down the days to see the Croatia preview show up in the news feed. This should be a year round sport as there are dusty trails somewhere just like its 5:00 somewhere. Cheers!
@cky78: Thats automatically given to Warner, when anyone says "the best thing" what they are really saying is the second best. And you know this, Maaan.
I can't deny it's kinda less good than before. All Iconic Claudio lines are from the 1st and 2nd edition of course previews . On the same track, its becomes repetitive even if there is one year between two videos. Would be awesome if it was a new track every time
@cky78: You're right, Warner is the foundation. Claudio, however, is the first partner Warner has had in the box who consistently helps him elevate both the technical & entertainment level of the broadcast. Because both are equally gifted & at ease w/ color commentary & analysis, we're not just waiting for one guy to be funny, & the other guy to bring the stats. Having to watch Warner team up w/ Brentjens for WC-XC coverage right after a DH race makes this painfully clear: Bart's technical expertise is beyond reproach, he just lacks the force of personality that helps Claudio & Cam McCaul take MTB broadcasting to a new level.
@Veloscente: I agree. I'm not saying Claudio sucks, that's why I said all respect due. I was just saying that Claudio is Robin to Warner's Batman. Let's not forget that. I love Claudio's track preview videos too! I think we all look forward to seeing those at each stop!
It's crazy how many of the things he says out loud go through my head silently while riding...From the most common "AGH HRAH GUH ARGHG now that was a good crash!" to the rarely heard "I'm still on my bike! AHHHHHAHAHA"
Kinda sounded like.....The ting goes skrrrahh, pap, pap, ka-ka-ka
Skibiki-pap-pap, and a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom
Skya, du-du-ku-ku-dun-dun
Poom, poom. Claudio, keep doing you man, its the best.
#1 Claudio rocks! Keep em coming great, also Claudio/Rob combi is priceless! Thanks for the genuine passion and love of this great sport, so infectious!!
Kakakaka!, rararaROOTS!, "I'm still on my bike!" ..., LOL. I think previews with Claudio are one of the best parts of a WorldCup race. Please RedBull keep them for us!
Thanks for the genuine passion and love of this great sport, so infectious!!
'Ra ra ra ra roooooooooots!' PRICELESS!!
