Thanks for watching these short highlights of the race from Loudenvielle! Catch the full replay on demand on GCN+ and make sure to tune in next week for all of the action from the Haute-Savoie MTB Festival 👍
Yeah that's the thing, ontop of losing Rob Warner as an incredible action commentator, we lost someone who had both experience as a DH rider AND someone with immense knowledge of the tracks, teams, riders, stats. He made it look easy but he was the hardest working man at the redbull world cups, and that work shined through his commentary. The man wasn't just a good commentator, he was the voice of mountain biking. Absolute legend.
Gotta love it when Aaron is in the middle of some very interesting and informative observation and Ric and/or Cedric just start shouting over him about how fast someone is going or how they took a foot out. Yeah, we all saw that too. Especially Ric with his twenty second long nasal, monotone, staccato droning.
Dude, Ric is annoying. “I love the way he is using his long arms, long legs, hes using everything he has.” You mean the things that are required to ride a bike? Wtf?
Thanks Aaron for saving the commentary! Pink bike comments were positive so I unmuted these highlights. I like CG, he’s funny and a great rider, but I can’t stand his fake enthusiasm and those two talking over each other. Glad I didn’t pay for the live stuff.
Totally agree that Aaron Gwins addition to the commentary box was a great idea, however it was annoying that others were shouting over and didn't let to finish his sentence. Please add someone with great insight on downhill mountain biking such as Gwin or Eliott Jackson and then you can take my money.
Aaron Gwin's commentary was so many levels above the two regulars...hope the Discovery production team was taking notes because THAT is how it's done boys
A lot of criticism this season of UCI and the broadcast/coverage, some of it justified. But I think things are improving 😀. This race I think: The bad: sad that they canceled the junior’s race. It may or may not have been the right call. The good: I think the broadcast are slowly improving. Good commentators, experts and the mix with interviews and facts. Good photage and graphics with timing/splits. A new track and a great race (sadly no juniors) to watch.
I think having Gwin along what helps with the improvement of the commentary. His inputs not only very refreshing but are also helping to steer the main commentators into the right direction in commentary.
I wonder how much the TV audience has plunged since it's behind a paywall. For one, I haven't followed this season at all since coverage is no longer on RedBull. Bad move from ICU.
@gmbnracing got it, and that's understandable. But I have to admit that kid is awesome on a DH bike and fun to watch. Also, a fourth place(or was it fifth🤔)finish ain't that bad after coming back from Appendix surgery. Anyways, 👍🏿👍🏿 by keeping us folks in the states up to date on the world of downhill racing since the absence of Red Bull TV. See y'all at Snowshoe🤘🏿
the benefit of gwin in the box is true... but how the hell did goldstones run - or at least his "scrub jump double" - not make it into the highlights? this was by far the most impressive moment this weekend
I'm no expert, but based on how he was pedaling it looked like in the upper section Loic might have been in too low a gear and could have picked up even more speed if he had been in a higher gear. Still a great run, so that's just nitpicking.
His experience is incomparable to anyone outside of those top guys. He's a multiple world champ and world cup winner, he knew what he was doing. Higher gear would be more difficult in a choppy surface. You're no expert, I agree. So do I. He's fastest on that section. In all sections. I just trust the race winning result. Lol
Gwin is excellent on the commentary, step in the right direction, sack off Cedric, guy is a legend rider of old but is no commentator. Get Katy Winton in!
Can we remove that nonsense heart rate monitor that is repeatedly mentioned. The idea that these top athletes during a maximum sprint effort + race run adrenaline are maxing at 160 is so obviously stupid. Get a better monitor or get rid of it. These guys will be pushing well over 180-200
I thought fort William was the worst course on the schedule somehow they were able to build something even more boring to watch. This trail looks boring and i won’t be looking forward to this race next year.

Thanks for getting Gwin in the booth - he made a huge difference to the energy (more insight, less yelling)
@@ainmeile not 'more' insight, just SOME insight lmao
Someone with insights like Gwin is essential in the commentary box in future
Commentary was so much better with Gwin. Helpful to have someone who knows what’s going on with the racers.

Thanks GMBN for the longer video for the highlights🙌 Gwin was fantastic as an announcer too.
Our pleasure!
Bring back Rob Warner and RedBull TV. Would pay for it...@@gmbnracing
That was a great highlights package, long enough & Aaron's commentary was greatly appreciated!

@@MWMMason why hating? Everyone knows he's on about the guy being tall and heavy
Really enjoy the insights the gwin gives and his enthusiasm for racing. Great commentary!!
The best highlights of the season
Aaron! Loved the commentary! I felt like I was going to MTB school while enjoying the show! I learned a lot! Glad Daprela was okay. That was scary!
Thanks for the comprehensive recap.
Alright Dak! Awesome...great to see an Intense jersey on the podium, need more of this!!
This win been coming for a while awesome from Loic Bruni!!!Brilliant super fast racing from the elite men!!Thank you guys!!

Do you not realise Cedric is one of the great OG downhillers? 😅
He also done Rampage….
Grande loic bruni! Ya extrañaba un P1 y nada mejor que ganando en su casa
great to have Gwin in the mix, was getting really fatigued with the other commentators just yelling split times at me
Oli Davis you little legend
Brutal course .brave lads 😅. So many crashes .. hope daprela ok
Aaron Gwin's commentary was so many levels above the two regulars...hope the Discovery production team was taking notes because THAT is how it's done boys
Big Dak Energy! Les go!

I agree and the same goes for josh and myriam - great to have their expertise in the broadcast
too bad you couldn't hear Gwinn with all the screaming by the others in the booth,,, sad ;( @@sampah89

Thanks, GMBN, but what happened to Goldstones run? Was it that unimpressive and boring?
No-one's was Harvey but we cant include everyone here! Got to make some cuts!
@gmbnracing got it, and that's understandable. But I have to admit that kid is awesome on a DH bike and fun to watch. Also, a fourth place(or was it fifth🤔)finish ain't that bad after coming back from Appendix surgery.

See y'all at Snowshoe🤘🏿
Super👌
what is the top price for 1st place winner?
don’t forget to livestream the u23 xco race next week 😮
I wonder how difficult Rick and Cedric are finding it remembering to never say 'look at the time'
A A Ron solid addition to box, for real check yourself!
Nice

"Can you smell the green?" Answer: yes Sir! My bowl is full!
Why Finn dsq??
Went outside of the neon trail markers.
itu jalan nya kelokan nya gile bener..cuman nyang hebring doang yang bisa ngelewatin ntu jalan..emezing dach ah..
💪
The coverage doesn't do justice to how fast and steep these tracks are.
It's hard to make fast sections look boring on video, those drone shots from a mile away manage to do it though!

Cedric - the master of stating the obvious. "He is looking for his bike right now!" - uh, NS Sherlock.
❤🎉
Listening to Cedric alongside Aaron shows how little Cedric adds to the commentary. A lot of words, no substance.
whats worse then someone screaming in the mic,, two people screaming in the mic, I miss Red Bull, Aaron Gwinn out classed these screamers easily...
Wow less than 10 comments
👍🏼👍🏼😎😲👏👏👏👏🏆🏁⏱️💵🎉🍻💪🏼💪🏼💯
Gwin is excellent on the commentary, step in the right direction, sack off Cedric, guy is a legend rider of old but is no commentator. Get Katy Winton in!
I miss Red Bull broadcasting, these guys suck except for Gwin
Finn....

Ric is getting better but Cedric just yells.
Uhh
