Stop the Clocks: EWS Rd 8 Highlights, Finale Ligure, Italy

 The video coverage has been amazing this year. They seem to get better and better each season. I'm in Finale at the moment and watched a couple of the stages at the weekend, and been riding the stages this week, and it must be a logistical nightmare to cover every stage to this level. At one point there were four identical drones hovering above Stage 7. To be able to edit it all together into such an exciting and coherent piece within 48 hrs is amazing...not to mention the 1 minute teasers they put together within a few hours of the race finishing. Great work guys.

 Agreed, you have truly outdone yourselves with the coverage of this event. This is the level of production that could bring mountain biking into the mainstream for people who don't even ride themselves.

 seriously. we are very fortunate to have this kind of exposure. thanks pinkbike and all that help make this happen

 I would add a big round of applause to Richard Cunningham for the great coverage! Congrats to him!

 Thank you PB!!! I'm excited already for the 2017 season. See you next year at Rotorua, NZ.

 I've been fortunate to have known Jared for a while now. He's pure class.

 His videos and such always remind me why bikes are rad. The camaraderie and all the different disciplines of biking that are fun.

 Torn jeans are hot these days in Europe.

 You think that's a fashion faux pas, the guy behind RC during Graves' interview has just set the fanny pack back another decade.

 Austin Powers did a nice job narrating.

 I'm still even watching 2013-2014 EWS videos!

I raped the play/pause button @1:41!!

 @ugez: Same dude - same!

 @j-t-g You're clearly mistaking EWS for the UCI with its crapload of rules about what riders can and can't wear. Miranda can wear whatever flag or jersey design she damn well feels like.

 Who would beat her in Canada?

 Miranda Miller better be on a factory team next year. Total injustice otherwise

 @jclnv: She didn't race nationals. So someone else is national champ.

 @j-t-g: Canadian Enduro Nationals? LOL!

 @j-t-g: You're placing too much weight on some organizer unilaterally deciding to call their event a national championship. All the more power to the organizer for their efforts in growing the sport, but the legitimacy of the supposed title is defined by whether the country's best riders participate. Winners of the event were Katie Spittlehouse and Dave Harder. Great riders I'm sure and everyone probably had a lot of fun at the event toying around with the national championship label, but do you think they'd call themselves Canada's best?

It would be great if the organizer would keep running it, and over time see if they can attract Canada's EWS regulars some day. However, until that time the national champion tag isn't something anyone - even the winners - are going to take too seriously.

 Quote of the weekend for sure!
