    So last year the semi final broadcast didn't really take off, so now they decide to go super low budget? Not even a produced highlight, just putting 2 people with cameras to the track with no commentary?
    That's not going to cut it. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt last year, but this is just a sad showing. Might just as well let Pinkbike and other media outlets film the semis, they'll come out with something at least as good as this.

    It WAS advertised that the elite and juniors qualification and semi finals would be streamed live yesterday for free on the UCI MTB World Series website, however the site was down from just before the start of the planned stream and is still down. So I'm not sure what happened but it was definitely supposed to be streamed live, but there was possibly some technical issues that caused it not to be streamed. Again, I was desperate to watch it too so not making excuses for them.

    Instead of uploading a consolation prize of a video like this you just need to COMMUNICATE why semis weren't broadcast. Put a social post together, hit send. Based on the generic corporate communication thus far, I'm assuming it's not quite that simple but remember this is MOUNTAIN BIKING. Canned corporate communication/lackthereof is derided by all types of demographics but especially this one.

    What was the point of even putting this on RUclips. Even Chris Ball must be cringing at how rubbish coverage has become.
    Who do you expect to pay money to sponsor riders and teams if no one can see them race?
    You guys need to give your head a shake.

    DH is the greatest sport on the planet but the organisers are seemingly trying their best to kill it for the true fans.
    A backward step last year replacing Rob Warner and Elliot Jackson.
    Another step backwards this year as there is less live coverage.
    Less exposure will inevitably mean less marketing budget, fewer teams and fewer riders. Is this why you’re not streaming semis this year? So that you can reduce the number of teams and riders?

    When will all of you learn not to trust UCI. They are only out for money. The riders don't even like UCI. I hope they broadcast the finals, but i won't pay for it.

    So why didn't it have a screenshot at least of who finished where in semi final? This broadcast is garbage
