The fifth round of the UCI Downhill World Cup heads to Loudenvielle Peyragudes! A new venue means a new track, and it has not disappointed. Mind-blowingly fast, incredibly technical, and scarily steep, this track has it all and is already a firm rider favourite!

The most exciting thing about the live stream was Watching Cedric Gracia rolling back the years what a great run and 5 riders from the UK in the top 20 Plus Luca Shaw absolutely sending the gap at 1:56:57 love it
Semi finals is the new finals
This year broadcasting it's so poor. We need red bull back
Wow these are the conditions for the track? So glad you cancelled the junior race. Bring back red Bull and bring back the old uci
Rob was always going to be hard to replace but sorry, in my opinion this is not good. Having Aaron Gwin helped a bit.
Shitty stuff. Half runs, shitty comments. Wtf?! U r killing the sport. Stop that shit please.
Thanks Aaron Gwin for making announcing great again!
Gracey Hemstreet is farting massively at her start… 2.39… That humongous fart scares the sh… out of me…
That track turned into peanut butter.
Awful scheduling by the UCI, too bad juniors couldn't race
I can't stand listening to the french guy for more than 1 minute. The coverage this year blows.
Can someone please tell me where the live link is??? All I can find is the funkin semis???
I miss the redbull coverage SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! camera angles sucked
🤙
Bring back Rob Warner and Claudio. Bring back RedBull TV. Bring back Downhill. This sucks!
Ads every three minutes in the replay… This is unacceptable
The camera quality is really not that good
I said it's Coulanges Time!
Bring back red bull!!! You've ruined the sport in less than 1 season!!!
Red Bull please come back and save dh ⛳
Aaron Gwin and Myriam Nicole saving the broadcast as actual experts. Aaron bringing up conversations he's had in the pit like Eliot used to. Cedric, take notes, maybe try doing your job as the "expert" and leave the color commentary to someone else. Shouting all the time about absolutely nothing, "that's fast!" "he wants more!" bro what? But yeah, the finals was the last straw, I just can't justify spending money on GCN+ for the quality of the broadcast and the commentary. So bad.
Gotta Love AG in the comments. The GOAT.
How many downhill fans want to subscribe to GCN+ with 98% road cycling so they can watch the finals? Not me.
Cedric un personaje maximo🤣
lets be real this was the best broadcast because of Aaron and Myriam, and that fact was almost sabotaged by constant interruptions. Ric actually sucks, i feel bad him and Cedric are getting so much hate but its just not getting better infact its trending in the other direction
Aaaaah….. poor man's world cup 🙂
It's crazy to me because the level of racing itself this year is arguably some of the best that's happened in years. I pay for GCN to watch it (purely because I don't have netflix etc anymore so why I figured why not)… But the broadcast quality is utterly abysmal.
The best decision they've made this whole year was to have Myriam and Aaron co-commentate these elite finals with the other two muppets (still respect CG's bike skills, but he shouldn't be on an English commentary).
But yeah. Paying for something only for it not to be shown (or at least not know until the last minute, whether it will be shown) is doin my head in.
I reckon just bring back the waivers, let riders sign their lives away and ride at their own risk.
Your coverage of the race runs suck!!!!!
