Rider of the day, week, month, year – Alan Hatherly!!
Excelente resumo vlw Whoop 🇧🇷
When will riders learn that running lower pressures isn't faster if you get flat tires all the time?
Attention UCI, I’d gladly trade the first 47sec or so of every one of these recap vids for another 47sec of actual race coverage, please and thank you:)
Who is the lady at the beginning and why is she doing the intro to the mountain bike videos?
Cool course.
Why do they give the men flowers lol. Give them a beer!
Great course. Kept it interesting the entire race. Bravo to the racers and bravo to the course designer and those that worked on it.
Please replace Ric McLaughlin he does such a poor job
Alan Hatherly! Excellent comeback for 2nd place = 1st on GC…well done buddy.
Momentary lapse of conversation, not from the commentary box surely 😁
Disgusted for Nino Schurter, cause he should've win this year his 10th overall (with 9 titles he's anyways already 2 above the 2nd best of History).
He was leading after 5 of the 8 week-ends of this season, but then, he decided to withdraw the 6th in order to have more chances to perform at the Olympics, and Fatherly profited that Schurter missed 330 possible points (if he won both races there) to take the lead. Nino passed 2nd.
But, bad luck yesterday in the Lake Placid XCO, a flat tire (as it often happens to him) while he was in the head of the race, and so, he's now "only" 4th and can't anymore win the overall.
GREAT results from the Swiss🇨🇭yesterday! Sina Frei finished 2nd, but I class her 1st tied with Stigger, cause we needed the photo finish to know who won, Frei is 0,00000001 second behind, so, she's the winner as well, let's b honest, after 1h18 of race, when u lose by not even a tenth of second, u won, and rules should b changed, they should put them both on top of the podium, count a victory in career for both, that's unfair for Frei not to.
Then, SAME SCENARIO in the men's race, with Colombo finishing 3rd, but by not even a second, and same for Guerrini, 4th. And 3 Swiss guys on the podium with Flückiger 5th.

Ric kept going on about the overall being wrapped up by Hatherly when in reality the men's elite overall race is tighter than the women's elite. I've been giving him time to improve, but I am not hearing any improvement in his commentary. It is actually getting worse. His analysis is superficial. He says things that make no sense. He misses critical aspects of these races.
Bro Colombo needs to improve the sprint urgently

Olé…🚴🇪🇦🤘🏻
the heavy rain took a toll on this new track, just needs to be filled and ridden more.

I miss Rob, his enthusiasm. A momentary lapse of conversation is no good for commentary.
Come back soon Red Bull TV!

why this new track is prone to wheel flat? HAHAHHAHA
So many punctures. No point being fast if you can't finish
I mean the commentary part is really very disturbing. Too many words.
this race is not good for MTB in general… Why would UCI organise a race where they are LITTERRALLY no public at all????? WHY????? For sure MTB should not be within cities… but here, in the middle of nowhere… Only because USA has money and can pay for all that??

Awesome track
surely some R&D department is working on a rear wheel axle/dropout system that doesnt take 5 minutes to change. F1 techs can swap 4 tires and refuel faster. at this level, your tech/mechanic crew should be practicing that changeover in their sleep. that was embarrassing for those boys. i know its not always easy but clearly a huge chink missing out of a professional teams armor with performances like that. just saying. no hate. felt bad for those riders.
Did they even show the crash? I couldn't find it (I was there in person)
