 www.downhillmtbfantasy.com for anyone looking for a fantasy league. Some dude on the Vital forum created it.

 Seems like the 2023 DH race season is a fantasy also

 @bashhard: I'd bet it's because the coverage has gone full American mega corp. There will be clauses in there saying there can be no use of their product in any form without financial restitution and it's probably a risky move to point out who's to blame without losing access to said product.

 I'm trying to remain realistic with this whole thing, but it certainly feels like the new spandex clad owners are sucking the excitement out of DH. I've never been less interested in World Cup Downhill than I am right now, and that's sad. I've watched every race for the past 10 years. Now I fear I'm required to pay for a watered down, inferior product. I very much hope I'm wrong about this.

 I look at Discovery's road coverage and it fills me with dread.

 So, it's finally happening!! Can't wait to watch the races (still don't know how to watch in Brazil, but I'ill figure it out hopefully). I'm betting this year will be one of the most competitive seasons of all time. So many good riders. Pierron, Bruni, Vergier, Brosnan, Greenland, Iles, Kolb, Kerr.. the list goes on. And now Goldstone and Williams. I think if ANY of those riders gets to be world champion, I wouldnt be surprised.

 Claro Sports' YouTube channel aired the previous XC race live. So there's a chance they'll do the same with the DH ones. Fingers crossed!

 @statuko: Will there be replays to watch after my USA ass wakes up drunk from the night before?
  • 22 5
 Hopefully we will get a real track preview... WTF was this?
  • 10 8
 that was actually the worst track preview i've ever watched...some home made video or something?!?! what gives?
  • 6 0
 They usually do a track preview the Thursday of race week. Track walk is done on a Wednesday. Who knows what the schedule will be now. This is just a rider going down the course and filming it.
  • 17 4
 So a track preview of about half the track

 Holy shit there is a world cup, so where is the bootleg stream going to be?

 Maybe PB will have an unrelated VPN article with random suggestions that have nothing to do with this.

 was he banned for being sponsored by OF too? Or was that just Lewis?
  • 4 0
 Or was it even Lewis? He seems to be all about clickbait nowadays.
  • 7 1
 Not sure the point of that. Guy rides a bike park track which happens to include bits of what will probably be the race course

 Anyone figure out Discovery coverage in the US?? Discovery was supposed to carry UCI, but now they merged with HBO. We have Max but I can't find anything sports related on the Discovery section.
Hoping they're still working on moving that content over??
Or do I just suck it up and pay for GCN too?
  • 1 0
 I just got the GCN monthly. We’ll see how it goes.
  • 1 0
 GCN+ for us in the United States. No Discovery. Pinkbike has had this info up on the site a couple of times.
  • 2 0
 @bostondonmtb: Not entirely true, Discovery+ website still shows all the UCI stuff, including next weekend. Looks like Discovery+ is still a standalone option.
I have a race that weekend anyways, just wait till I hear how the coverage of first race goes.

 More like a general promo vid.
  • 5 1
 I already hate this. I hope this isn't the real track preview....... miss you redbull tv.......
  • 3 3
 TBH they weren't as good after Claudio stopped doing them

(and I completely understand why doesn't do them any more!)

 @korev: I don't know, I really enjoyed Gee's previews.

 Yeah this is a perfect crap storm this year. All the races start much later, the people carrying the races are ultimately not promoting it effectively either. GCN isn't expensive but the lions share of racing is road racing. Discovery is a more attractive option but many of us already have HBO and are now merged into discovery and there appears to be no races on that, or at the very least this going to cost time and money to work out how our current package works into what we hope to see.

 So is this also going on his Only Fans?
  • 1 0
 Looks like there's a free trial for Disco+ so I'm going to try that, then see if it's worth 20 odd quid for the next 3 months sub. If it's decent then I can probably live with that.

 we need Wyn. I prefer a virtual Claudio I mean a voice over does not cut it for me I want to hear hard AF breathing and scarred responses in real time.

 So, Pinkbike could only do Fantasy DH if there is no financial gain or something? Could we have it without prices and then nobody gets taken to court over UCI related copyrights?
  • 3 0
 Quarter of a track here for the ants in your pants!
  • 2 0
 So, can someone explain, how UCI bans one OnlyFans sponsored rider and allows other one to race?

 might not be the "content" expected from PB, BUT dude you doing it, keep doing o!!

 Discovery gives us boring POV previews? So stoked!
  • 4 3
 Nice. A preview of a race I won't be paying for to watch.
  • 4 1
 How come?
  • 7 2
 @cains08: The UCI sold the rights to Discovery who put a paywall up
  • 2 1
 Juniors race the same track and those are free to watch. Doesn't this also go for the qualifications and semi-finals?
  • 15 1
 I hope that there isn't a stream site to watch it for free. If there is it would really upset me if someone posted a link to it. Wouldn't agree with that sort of thing at all.
