Ha, when I heard that in the vid, I was wondering if it would be first comment.

Read on another thread that 'This is Peaty' will be back when Peaty is back on the bike and racing again...

So, fingers crossed.

this is by far the best leogang course ever!

Ratboy , please be careful on that bridge jump ! They both over jumped it at half speed

I overshot it by quite a distance as well, and I'm not even that fast

adamconradx (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:54)

remember gwin nearly going otb on it during world champs 2012?

spaced FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 3:34)

@nhp890 I still don't get why they didn't make it bigger. People were overshooting it 12 years ago. Went there as a 16 year old kid and I had very little skill so I was very surprised to land with one wheel on the flat even though I was a really bad rider back then.

Nice lines Claudio! I hope u become that loose and fun in the commentary booth too..have fun and goof off with warner; red bull has got him too worried about being a pro sportscaster.

mtbkid38 (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:32)

I'm pretty sure warner is off at an X-Fighers event and won't be commentating. not 100% though

warner will be there for sunday

scott-townes (Jun 11, 2015 at 16:34)

It seems like the commentating has been tamed down for this season but honestly, I think he's most energetic and insane while riding his bike, haha. He's doing awesome for his first legit year of announcing and his track previews are still awesome so that's chillin. That last jump has gotten quite large... wild. YOU GOT IT MANON!!!

RedBurn (Jun 12, 2015 at 5:12)

you guys were a little bit disapointed too about claudi commentating in comparaison with our expectations ? he's not as crazy as when he rides tht's clear... ²it will come with time I guess

Claudio for Rampage course preview this year!

LeDuke (Jun 11, 2015 at 17:46) (Below Threshold)

Being completely series here. How would you do a course preview for Rampage? It's held on a mesa in Virgin, UT. Everyone digs their own line; there is no "course". "Well, this is this year's mesa. See ya later!"...?

I still wanna see some wc course previews next year, dont end his life this early

It's not always about the "how", sometimes it's just about the "why the fu*k not"!

jclnv (Jun 11, 2015 at 21:23)

Absurd style by Greg. He's going faster than 99% of riders in the world on that run and it looks like he's giving it 20% effort. Look at the gap he pulls in that first rock garden. Nuts.

gramboh FL (Jun 11, 2015 at 23:50)

It's amazing how relaxed he looks.

Lagr1980 (Jun 12, 2015 at 5:03)

if he stays on podium for this race, he's probably going go be up there fighting for the overall until the end... and for the worlds....

The tape on the right side of that last drop is prolly going to cause the same controversy as last year. They should make that section wider.

13 1

wingguy (Jun 12, 2015 at 0:31)

The problem wasn't that it's wide or narrow though, the problem was that it moved mid race. So Bernard got disqualified for landing off a blind drop in a place that was part of the track last time he saw it.

BDKR (Jun 12, 2015 at 2:55)

Ahhh..... Thanx!

Just ridiculous talent. Insanely lazy style too.

Man I hope Claudio commentates Rampage this year.

irankin9114 FL (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:10)

I think Claudio might be a Foo Fighters fan..

Lagr1980 (Jun 12, 2015 at 5:04)

and PJ as well..

RocketMk2 (Jun 18, 2015 at 6:45)

I thought he was singing "I'm still alive" by Pearl Jam...

DGL1 (Jun 12, 2015 at 17:45)

Redbull, get the ROCK SECTIONS! I understand you want the most bang for your buck (so to speak) with camera coverage but... this is DOWNHIL not XC..

Also, please tell your camera men to not zoom in too close on the rider that we don't see the wheels on the ground during the technical bits. Geez!

Thanks for not charging us to watch the event... I'm sure advertising helps on that front though.

BTW I'm drinking a redbull as I write this. Peace.

ADhGuy (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:13)

That looks such a great track to ride, good mix of techy roots and flat out jumps! gonna be a good weekend

kerberos FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 4:39)

Leogang did a very good job revamping the track!

scratchbum (Jun 12, 2015 at 4:01)

No one's noticed that they've tightened the tape on that last drop, where Brenard Kerr got Robbed of a good position last year. The UCI officials disqualified him for breaking the tape (not passing a pole) but subsequently moved the tape back for the rest of the field.

Who's idea was that?

BobMcKay (Jun 11, 2015 at 17:12)

Good thing he survive that 16.3g impact!!!

andytheaussie (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:08)

Claudio. Bring THAT kind of commentary to the race.

bombdabass FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 3:47)

Am I the only one who thinks Claudio sounds like Fozzie bear from the muppets when he does these?

mrcoley (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:17)

going by recent videos it doesn't look like that all anymore but got to love Claudio and greg a load of mates got to ride with greg at porc during the week lucky lucky b******s

HankBizzle (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:27)

Yeah I saw a vid on facebook, whole course is just a river now!

codfather1234 FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 5:12)

Wait..hold up...Minnaar was at Penshurst this week?

mrcoley (Jun 13, 2015 at 11:32)

yes he was

MSVF (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:05)

Is it a running gag that I don't get regarding the spectators who show their naked buts to the cam, eg at 0:54?

Besides that, great video!

Shiny-side-up (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:13)

Was funny as hell when the syndicate done it to Brendog & Claudio.

Haha, great. Thanks guys

4:01 you know its steep when it looks steep in the video

davidsimons (Jun 12, 2015 at 4:22)

He can commentate, he can sing, and boy-oh-boy, he can really ride! 3 careers all wrapped together in one Claudio. Really, you gotta love the guy

skill7 (Jun 12, 2015 at 13:26)

Not sure I would trust those stats. 58degrees vertical? 193 bpm and he is still talking? 16g in a small crash. I'm skeptical.

Ruddock81 (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:19)

Course preview moon seems to be obligatory these days!

groghunter (Jun 11, 2015 at 16:59)

so many bare asses

pierceklinke (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:05)

Been waiting all day for this!!!

RScott12 (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:27)

30 seconds at the end of darkness to appreciate the skill to commentate whilst riding that fast! Another great course review!

801mandalorian (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:33)

These are always so good. Chasing Greg Minaar would be so epic. Great job Claudio!

Jake-G1 (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:48)

love it! greg using claudios lines without having walked the track! sundays gunna be wild, greg slaying in the wet, if anyone can he can haha

what is he using to show us the speeds he reaches and his heart rate while he rides?

Claudio and Minaar They could have done a coursepreiew down the sidewalk in Leogang and it would still be rad

T-Bot FL (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:59)

He should not give up his day job for a singing career. Unless it's during a track preview. It's like kelly mcazza humming a tune durring rampage. Love it.

Skewt (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:36)

Foo fighters and Pearl jam, sweet Claudio!

nevi414 (Jun 11, 2015 at 17:30)

thustlewhumber FL (Jun 11, 2015 at 18:21)

Watching Minnaar ride is dreamy. The Claudio/Minnaar combo made my day!

gibbon-on-an-orange (Jun 12, 2015 at 4:47)

Gstaad Scott vs Syndicate. Is this a trade-team video, or a not-a-trade-team video?

Dude! Claudio Down!!! is that a first for him to have a bail on camera?

MaxAlary (Jun 11, 2015 at 14:57)

Not the first time, last time he went down was at MSA in 2013 in the berms under the gondola. Still a very good track record considering he is basically speaking all the way down WC level downhill tracks.

adrock-whistler (Jun 11, 2015 at 15:01)

He wiped out last year in Mt Ste Anne, I think. I remember seeing one last year, but not sure of the track.

After the rain this track is gonna be gnarly. We are in for one hell of a race Sunday.

That last jump is a monster! Might see some carnage if anybody cases during the race run

billy860 (Jun 12, 2015 at 0:21)

i guess it's the redbull player that's shit as all my other vids are streaming fine apart from this one

ohjohnob FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 7:39)

You have to change it to 720p each time you watch a video on it as it always resets to 240 or some pish like that.

Listening to someone with broken english do a play by play of exactly what I'm watching is annoying. It's like the Red Bull Rampage announcers.... HE'S DROPPING IN, BACKFLIP, TUCK NO HANDER, THIS IS A ROUGH SPOT. Bro, we are watching the same fucking thing you are, be quiet.

JoseBravo (Jun 13, 2015 at 5:19)

do you watch any sport with audio?

Alias530 (Jun 13, 2015 at 11:15)

World Cup DH I listen to, but I only watch a handful of the riders (Atherton, Gwin, Brosnan, Minnaar, Hill, and sometimes Bryceland). If I watched the whole thing it'd go on mute eventually.
