Juniors are pushing the elites, it's going to get really interesting in the coming years. Did they wait too long to start the racing, could they have started earlier so that the top 10 seedings would have raced in the dry?
Good to hear you might be racing next week, have fun, stay safe … er .. balls to that let it go … 😉
Thanks for the great insight and coverage, it’s almost as the UCI coverage gets worse, you, Wyn and Bernard get better and better at telling the true story.
Weird that weather has been such an issue lately. Wonder why that could be..
good luck PBRteam.
Daprela has had 2 wins with the help of horrible weather halfway through the race. Today and 2021 Les Get.
In such situations they should flip the order so the top qualifiers go first. This then becomes another perk to qualifying well.
It's a mountain sport – and there should be contingency plans….look at Downhill ski-ing…..it happens numerous times during the season.
I actually think the fastest qualifiers get to choose their position, rather than going last.
I see what you did there 😂 "Tahnee Seagrave.. I mean Nina Hoffman"
Love this !!!!
Five races five winners for men elite DH…insane.
Why was this track called Vallnord last year and Pal Arinsal this year?
It’s pretty obvious…The UCI is trying to ruin the DHI. Not only is the coverage a joke. But the overall management has been horrific
You'll never see this comment but all the best next week Cathro
Love these recaps thanks Ben!
Love what you do bro thanx for your time!!!
Part of the game. This ain’t baseball. Weather and track conditions are something you have to factor for.
Hope Amy is ok. And hopefully you are all set to go find your speed next week. thanks for the roundups.
If they got rid of the stupid semi finals, went back to 3minute gaps and broadcast the top 30 but let the top 70 qualifiers run (basically put downhill back how it should be) then it would all work out a lot better. I can see what they tried to do but it hasn't worked imo, the fact Adam Brayton and other top tear riders can now no longer even enter due to lack of points combined with the woeful viewing figures on the semi finals points to the new system being a failure.
good content as always. i enjoyed how u are (being allowed) to use uci race footage. but the quality was super and preferred the shots that i would assume pinkbike bot for yall. cheers!
So happy for Nina. Such a sweet person and an incredible athlete.
Why skip over Tahnee, she still got third.
Thank you. Without your breakdown, we would have no idea what actually happened. With coverage stuck behind a paywall, and so little decent footage released on YouTube, this year has been absolutely terrible for the fans . I really hope next year is handled better
Can't wait for MSA in the snow ☠️
I always love these videos!! Keep them coming!
Ow! Hope Aimi is not too battered. 🤘🤘🤘
Wicked filming and production as always, but it's a shame that the entire junior and elite women's coverage is crammed into a short 50 seconds of a ten minute video.
Being back Redbull
Ben, AKA the best UCI Downhill analyst. Thanks for all you’re very well made video !!!
It's been sunny and dry the last 6 weeks in NZ, average daily temps of around 15 degrees centigrade.
Better than the UK summer and we are in winter..
The UCI has killed DH this year for the fans.The coverage is horrible. Thank god for Wynn, BK, and Dean's ch.
"Determined German" – Well Done Sir. Well Done!
Maybe gotta have the junior races/finals the day before let the pros have Sunday to themselves… sort of like American football where the collage games are on Saturday and the pros are Sunday…
Cathro is from Scotland. He's used to sunshine followed by the dreich.
