This footage is atrocious. The riders trying their best, their teams & sponsors barely getting any coverage in this new format. The paywall closed off 24 season has been an uphill struggle for the riders, their teams, sponsors and fans. This sport, like many is dependant on the fans being able to see their heroes riding their bikes. And this season has been a summary of the riders and the teams having to do their own media to raise awareness of the sport, their achievements and their progress. Here’s to a paywall worth paying for in 25. I doubt it. The UCI seem to want to ruin this sport that so many love. Whoop de do sh1t happens.
Seems to me there is more enthusiasm for the sport and followers of riders and manufacturers when coverage was readily available. Sure seems to be true for enduro (the sound of crickets chirping while enduro dies).
I just watched Troy Brosnan’s winning semi run from his Go Pro. That footage was so full on my heart was beating in the back of my throat. I think I’ll Gafa tape the the screen on to some handlebars before I watch it again. Same as Jack Moir’s Go Pro footage of his last win too. Special congratulations to Troy and all the competitors and everyone involved past and present.
How do you not show Laurie greenlands run when he when third fastest. The race highlights have been horrible this season, no emotion from the casters what so ever sad to see
About time, Brosnan has been so close to so many victories over the past seasons but keeps getting beat into 2nd place. A well earned and deserved victory
Ric is like AI commentary. Totally devoid of charisma or interaction with the others in the commentary booth. Please replace him with someone with a personality.
Best racers in the world and sadly they have the worst announcers ever! Please replace Ric McLaughlin, take a poll he is not liked please hire someone new he is killing our great sport :(
It's easy to criticize without being constructive. Ric's commentary just needs some fine tuning. I'd like to see him stay on but improve on the following: -work more as an MC and coordinate the conversation -ask more pertinent questions -dial back on the stock phrases or expand his repertoire I think it's a harder job than we're acknowleding. If he's got Aaron Gwin in the booth then it's an easy day, but he had to do some work to give Melamed time to loosen up, and coordinate the conversation between him and Hatton. No one is ever going to replace Warner cause Warner can go into totally spastic episodes on the mic and we'll love it. No one else can do that because no one else is Warner.
@@capitalschool8765 He has been doing it for two years now and not improved at all. Thats why I was slow to criticize him initially. He's had lots of opportunity to improve. I dont think he is capable of improving. Its one of those skills that you either have or do not have. Some people are good at talking all day, others are not. Commentary seems to be the same. You can fine tune someone like Rob Warner but you cant turn someone like Ric into a Rob Warner. He just doesnt have the charisma or command of the language that a Thespian such as Rob has ;) I cant remember who exactly replaced him when he was sick a few weeks ago but he was way better despite being less experienced. You either have it or you dont in commentary...
To be honest, the coverage does get better and better, but you all have a lot to learn in order to fill the shoes of RedBull. Just take a step back and listen to the community. Paying for DH coverage isn't bad, paying for bad DH coverage is bad. The camera work today was sloppy. Main caster gets better and better, but man those "Loic Bruni 1xx beats per minute, we know he revs low" gets real tiring. On the other hand, its great to see more involvement of riders in interviews and even some casting the race! It seems WBD is cutting costs, and its noticeable. If you want to cut costs and make people happy, cut those WBD officials roaming in the pits, they don't do much.
As a fan and racer of DH for 20 years the rise of the sport on redbull with Warner commentating was great to see, but the last two years it has been utterly depressing, someone please rescue what is left of this and bring it back to life
Trash highlights. Trash commentators. Can make a drinking game from the number of “don’t know what happened…” comments. Loved the near 10 seconds just staring at a gap in the trees while waiting for anything to happen.
Let Rob come back and cover the world of DH as it deserves, but above all as the pilots who risk everything in each race deserve. This has to change, they have ruined DH and as they say, they are burying the Enduro discipline. Someone please do something!
Best racers in the world and sadly they have the worst announcers ever! Please replace Ric McLaughlin, take a poll he is not liked please hire someone new he is killing our great sport :(
Why do you not put the top 5 runs in? Absolute donuts, Laurie Greenland was the man to beat for almost the entire reel, mean while you show a bunch of failed runs out side the top 10.
Thats not Whoop, thats a boo! You guys ruined the event massively! We(Downhiller‘s) want Rob warner and the old curs back. Simply a pain to watch a recap! It was Free! Now i cant even watch it because it unavailable in my country…. Seriously you guys ruined it! I hope it will be so bad that sooner or later it will have to go back to how it was.

Why doesn’t someone start a new competition outside UCI/Warner? Red bull has a few individual events but what about a league to compete against the World Cup? And why wouldn’t teams jump ship? That would be sweet comeuppance
the people behind the cameras are doing great and have been getting better but these announcers are way too calm with no excitement. Rob warner would bring up # of world cup wins and random facts that kept the crowd entertained. RIP to those days
I thought I was seeing things at the overall podiums. Women got a 5 person podium but they must have run out of champagne for the men with only a 3 man podium. WTF ?

These commentators would be well fitted to cover 60+ yo spectators kind of sports like tennis or golf but dh, not remotely! Give us back Redbull next year please!!
Not showing Greenland's run was a huge disappointment. UCI is failing miserably. DHSE and Monster are holding it down now. I'll only start watching UCI DH when they fix the highlights and let the riders film their runs. That last one is really annoying. MTB is the one sport where the riders are also content creators and really bring the fans along for the ride. All pun intended. Bye UCI, y'all are not going in the right direction...
They have ruined downhill for me It's only got marginally better since they too over. I have access to the whole feed but just watched this as the show is so bad commentators make a massive difference and they need better if they want to keep people watching. Discovery killed downhill! Sad days😢
Congrats Troy! Downhill continues to lose its exposure with this set up. No one watches the pointless semi finals or pays for the membership. It’s a shame for the sport. Losing its appeal and teams next year as a result… 🤔
The opening commentary is always a word salad of contrived hype. No greenland...lame. Too Swiss the whole thing! Bring back Rob Warner and the Austrians/RedBull! Frickin eh Troy!
I prey Red Bull decides to run their own downhill world series and broadcast to go with it, and all the riders go race that instead. With Rob Warner on the mic that would be exciting, like it used to be. Who cares about “UCI” politics. This is rubbish.
Thanks for the memories Greg. What a huge legacy you leave for the sport.

It’s been absolute garbage. We need Redbull and Rob Warner back.
Meh, Greenland did it in the dry.
Clueless production team. Greed dismantling the sport we love. What a low point for downhill racing. 😒
i missed it, cause the commentary put me to sleep.
Not just this season .. since they ditch redbull broadcasting is crap
About time, Brosnan has been so close to so many victories over the past seasons but keeps getting beat into 2nd place. A well earned and deserved victory
What happened to Laurie Greenland’s run ?
Bring back longer tracks, more riders in finals and Warner
Red Bull should be running these world cups includng the coverage
Well deserved Troy. It’s been a long time coming! Congrats man!!!
Epic run from Troy, He was doubling everything was so awesome!!!!
Ric is like AI commentary. Totally devoid of charisma or interaction with the others in the commentary booth. Please replace him with someone with a personality.
He talks over the other commentators too, really annoying!

We love the longer tracks. We love Mont Sainte Anne, we love Fort William.
I started racing MTB because of Greg Minnaar. I cant thank him enough for how my life has changed because of it.❤❤❤❤
aaaaaah, i may be french, but I'm so glad troy wins another one! 👍 he's been so close so many times, it's great to see him rewarded.
Bruni! 🐐

Do they not like the Brits? Greenland and Kerr didn't feature at all despite riders who finished well behind them getting air time.
Yep crap coverage!
Listen to the people UCI, bring back the pros behind the desk and bring down the paywall....
2 out of the 3 announcers are pros. What are you on about? Pro announcers? No. Pro riders? Yes.
Yeah Boi! Well done Troy.
go on troy , good race and good to see greenland back at the pointy end only .5 of the win
That felt good!
No Laurie, no Bernie? Editor what are you smoking? 😮
Take a drink every time you hear 'Lachy Stephens macnabb"
As a fan and racer of DH for 20 years the rise of the sport on redbull with Warner commentating was great to see, but the last two years it has been utterly depressing, someone please rescue what is left of this and bring it back to life
The way Troy moved on his bike: patience, committment, aggression, intention.
Helluva run by Brosnan.
The GOATS last run and next to no passion for it.
Course looks awesome
WE WANT ROB WARNER
So good!
Trash highlights. Trash commentators. Can make a drinking game from the number of “don’t know what happened…” comments. Loved the near 10 seconds just staring at a gap in the trees while waiting for anything to happen.
yeah the troy!!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Awesome win Troy, was it a fraction in your thoughts to ' beat the Kiwi ', i enjoy watching you both ride!
Hold on.....Congrats to Troy Brosnan but let's not dismiss the fact that Laurie Greenland has made an amazing comeback !
Thanks for sharing
Lets bloody go Troy you little beauty
Huge Congratulations to Troy for his Win !. Wondering what happened to Amaury at the Final ?. Thank UCI for this.
CONGRATS TO Loic Bruni my fav French DH RACER.
Cheers Greg
needs to be back on red bull tv
What's with the weather on the DH circuit this year?
Can we talk about how Norton is a choke artist this year? Dude has been in so many podium positions and throws it away...
Let Rob come back and cover the world of DH as it deserves, but above all as the pilots who risk everything in each race deserve.
This has to change, they have ruined DH and as they say, they are burying the Enduro discipline.
Someone please do something!
Lets goooo
That opening announcer looks and talks like she eats glass beer bottles for breakfast.

I would pay for broadcast. But only for DH. I don't care about the rest of sports (or any other content).

Healthy happy holy yay go ride well friends
Where the hell is Lauries run?
The commentators don’t know what’s going on!! Terrible highlights show!!

How, in our lord's year of 2024, is there not f*****g camera coverage of the entire track for an elite UCI event?? So frustrating.
Why no Fort William in 2025 @uci @whoop?

You failed to put a camera in split 2 where people crashed 2 years in a row. These crashes and mistakes influenced the outcome of the race. Come on.
Why doesn’t someone start a new competition outside UCI/Warner? Red bull has a few individual events but what about a league to compete against the World Cup? And why wouldn’t teams jump ship? That would be sweet comeuppance

minaar last run shoud`ve been with the honda
Wow, coverage, aaam sorry highlights, is longer than just few minutes
Who is she and why on earth is she there?
Will wait for the sleeper shreddit when the highlights show nothing
I thought I was seeing things at the overall podiums.
Women got a 5 person podium but they must have run out of champagne for the men with only a 3 man podium. WTF ?
REINSTALL FORT BILL FOR 2025
Does anyone involved with the production of these highlights have ANY interest in this sport at all?!
Race was good, coverage is atrocious
Loris Vergieres run was from top to bottom only red so no highliight. Only seems that Trek had payed to be in this Video.
They should be ashamed - give it back to REDBULL !!!!!!!!!!!!! Rubbish highlights
Bring back Warners commentary!
These people are boring af!

That commentator would be better suited to a knitting competition,what a bore!!
what emotionless narration is this? With each passing championship, it becomes duller. Learn from redbull
Cant tell if the commentators are actively making me dumber or if theyre just putting me to sleep
Congrats Troy! Downhill continues to lose its exposure with this set up. No one watches the pointless semi finals or pays for the membership. It’s a shame for the sport. Losing its appeal and teams next year as a result… 🤔

The commentator is horrible.
woop es basura
I literally only watched this to see BK. And nope. Garbage coverage. Lack luster commentating. YAWN. Bring back Red Bull and Warner
the commentary is awful, so many times I hear 'such a smooth line' is fucking downhill mountain biking there is no smooth line!
the coverage is utter trash, i'm not paying for anther subscription to watch. give it back to redbull
Horrible coverage
