Pinkbike Primer - Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2023
@paulskibum: Haven't heard his replacements. I can appreciate Warner's knowledge and enthusiasm, but generally I prefer a sober commentating style to volume and intensity turned up to 11.

Most sensible course of action - the athletes are excellent and the spectacle can be exciting, but it's just American Idol on wheels. The corporate element is also contaminating and intrusive - and there's little of that in the woods

@dinger2h: Plenty of sports with TV coverage which aren't "cringe fests".

The format has to change if this sport is going to grow.
Perhaps events can consist of a single uphill and downhill section, which can be traversed repeatedly. That way there's the possibility of setting up sufficient cameras to keep tabs on the unfolding drama. Apparently spectators/viewers can stomach XC riders covering the same territory five, six or seven times. Why not enduro?
I'm sure there will be plenty of bleating about such heretical ideas, but the sport is doomed to irrelevance unless something changes.

The sport has already reached its potential. Without decent TV coverage it's always going to be niche - and decent TV coverage is next to impossible

@salespunk: And that's why enduro riders are always going to be mountain-biking's poor cousins

Studies in canine character.
The white poodle at 1' 02" - "This is so embarrassing - hope nobody thinks I'm with this doofus".
Whereas the sheepdog at 1'25" - "You okay, bro - shall I go for help?"
