I'd be curious to know what kind of equipment the leaders were running in the mens race. Seems like there were about a dozen racers all coming into the finish together. Did any of them flat or have mechanicals? What were the suspension/tire setups? Excellent coverage!
XCM is actually what XC is all about which is Endurance MTB riding... No GBR athletes & No Live Coverage... Poor. But hoping it improves. Itll be good to know what equipment these riders use...
@@petegowland6201 True. But Cape Epic (and most of the Epic series) manage to do a full course coverage. Granted, a lot of it is covered by e-bike, helicopter, and drone. But you can at least follow what's going on.
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
I am very happy to see the first marathon world cup, I hope that next year we will have live coverage.
Huge respect to the UCI for embracing XCM and establishing the World Cup!
Yess! Finally XCM World Cup!
XCM is great!
Real nice to give attention to this kind of events👏👏 Love to see that ! 🤙Hope for the next ones to see😎
Credit where its due, you've done a good job at summarising the race, well done.
Finally!!!! Live Coverage would be awesome please
Can’t tell you how much I love not being able to watch the races after they air. Thanks.
This was never live, the ones that are live are available on catchup pretty soon after they finish

Great to see Marathon in the WC!
Absolute beast mode for men and women.
Great coverage! 👌

My electrician from Cambridge was racing this. He got no mention at all.
Good highlights but now we have to pay for coverage, there should be full live broadcasts of XCM too.
Sheer scale of the course means that’s going to be rather difficult. Happy to see an extended highlights though if that was possible

Why are the top guns of cape epic are not here? This is their game.
Where can I watch the full race? It’s not on GCN+
They didn't stream it, it's highlights only (at least for now, hopefully they can get footage like the cape epic does at some point)
I look at wikipedia and there are results for winners of XCM world cup from 2005-2008.
What was that all about if this is the first one?
I suppose this will be the bike manufacturers' dream...another product niche...XC for marathons to add to downcountry etc.
Rockgarden too extreme. No place in XCM. Good coverage though ...thanks

I sad to see that XCM marathon is dying.
Come on, Just mention the Brits, even if you have no footage.
