You need to show the full runs in the Live stream, at least for the finals. I would gladly pay the subscription if I could actually watch the live event, not a cut version pretending to be live. Until then, I will sticking to the highlights.
Total mess if you ask me, spoilers all over RUclips. You’ve got a lot of work to do to get even close to the coverage from red bull. Especially as your charging for it. Your going to kill dh racing
Broadcast needs work!! During the finals we had no clue who was still to come down next. No mention of how times compared to qualis and semis as finals runs happened. Didn't even show the podium presentation. Had a woman legend come back and win and then a first time elite win and we don't get to see them celebrate? Instead we got choppy commentary of reviewing runs. Only positive was Reece Wilson bringing real solid analysis to the program. And what happened to seeing the full race? Kolo crashes and we had no idea how or why?
Honestly I get more out of watching Vital Mtb videos from practice. No Rob Warner and poor selection of sections where to film don't inspire. Not really sure why we now have to pay extra to watch what is essentially a glorified bike ad either? As is seemingly happening with everything these days the finance guys are going to wring the proles for as much cash as they can while slowly ruining the sport. Quarterly numbers will be good initially at the expense of the long term health of the sport. End of the golden age of DH imo.
The racing is what I'm here for and in that the riders did not disappoint! Even if everything changes, these riders remain the Top Athletes. They made all the excruciating commentary worth it. In fairness, commentary had glimmers of being on point, the last elite men commentary was way more acceptable and even exciting. Cedric knows a lot and makes great observations, but still some ways to go. Its DH and the only way I can see it so I'll suck it up and focus on the racing. So... thanks ESO and GCN, please consider all the constructive comments posted here, take on board and adress it. Your product (the riders) will do there part as always, focus on yours. Love you, bye.
This is the attitude we need right now. I know it's hard to go from Rob and free broadcast to this but people will get used to it. I'm rooting for downhill and if this is what makes it go further I'm all for it.
Wow awesome race!Great to see another brit on the top step after Rachel winning the womens race.Big well done to Jordan well deserved victory today dude!!!Thank You Guys!

For someone that's followed the sport for almost 30 years I was very sceptical but was relatively surprised.yes we all miss Warner but cedric and ric did a fine job and they will learn to perform and gel better as time goes on. The broadcasting as a whole does need some refinements but for a first race it was spot on really.iam not overly keen on the new format but will hold judgement for now
As someone who is new to the sport, I'm disappointed there isn't more coverage. I can't find an videos of Jackson Goldstones run. Or I don't even know what happened amaury pierron.
Slight suggestion for you all @GMBN Racing - instead of simply playing music in the beginning and showing the course, add some commentary about the course and walk through some potential rider stats (e.g., who's the favorite, who may be an underdog, etc.). You jump right into the action and it's a bit out of context. OVERALL though, love all that you do - thanks.
The commentary was OK. I find split times and time compared to the person in the hot seat isn't as clear as before. In general, I don't love the new presentation. I also think that the sport is now not as accessible as it used to be. I believe it will result in less money spent on bikes and people travelling to bike parks. Sad really. I've watched every world cup since 2016. I even moved country to be near better riding. I don't even know where to watch this new format. So here I am, watching highlights.
Also we're calling highlights 3 simple race runs mashed together. They're definitely making it less accessible and more expensive. The exact opposite of bringing more people to the sport!
Anyone else having a terrible time finding coverage in US? I signed up for Discovery+ and there's no UCI world cup, or any sports anywhere on the app. I tried GCN+ and it won't let me sign up for an account.
I think a lot of riders are going to try just to qualify within the top 10 to save some energy for the finals. A lot of riders looked like they ran out of gas 3/4 down.
Is this the highlights for real? Just top 3 runs without any resume of the previous racers?😢 I was expecting an highlights show at least as the enduro one (not good anyway but at least let understand the race)
Really liked Cedric, he has the energy we're missing from Rob, nice one. Can we please dispense with the cut aways to the warm up area during runs though, its insulting to the riders - why on earth would you do that to someones run?? It was like someone standing in front of the telly and talking whilst you're trying to watch, it was completely pointless and distracting - ditch it!!!
Wheres th actual REPLAY of the WHOLE Womens and Mens race. I'vonly found the th womens and mens highlights and SPOILER ALERT!!! the winning runs of the mens and ladies.
you guys killed the dynamic vibe and now everybody is pissed, worst investment ever for the discovery. Hope you guys understand from your mistakes. EVEN THİS VİDEO... redbullbike used to make the highlights more interesting and more fun to watch.
It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
I thought the coverage was not to bad at all. Seem to have more view points than red bull. Although Rob is great at what he does, I won't miss him. At the end of the day, it's the riders we want to see. And the new schedule is great for the consistent riders rather than an all on the line attitude.
You care about the race or the commentators? That was a really exciting race, doesnt matter whos commentating 😅 but ofc it would be nice if he was still there
The commentary in comparison to other “top” sports is very obvious. It doesn’t feel anywhere near as informative or providing any extra info supporting what we can see
Is it just me? Why is it so difficult to get an easy dates and schedule for UCI DH. So Sundays is not final day any longer? And gcn+ is not nearly as convoluted as Redbull to navigate but still dates times schedule give people the option to select dh, xco , whatever to keep it simple. Here's a concept... Being able to select what genre of cycling, DH [select] , your now have a schedule with dates times and if available a small selectable icon, [select what you wanna watch jobs a good one] I blame the modern interpretation brought about by IT professionals who are operating on the spectrum rather than common sense..either that or it's a generic third party software to host Thier content, produced by the same individuals described... Kiss 💋. Keep it simple stupid

Thanks you.
Can you add times for each rider on the live streams so you can skip to favourite riders while watching it back.
Broadcast needs work!! During the finals we had no clue who was still to come down next. No mention of how times compared to qualis and semis as finals runs happened. Didn't even show the podium presentation.

Missing Rob Warner
Iye me too ..... cedric is also a legend too (in my eyes ) not Rob but pretty decent 👊
Same
@@benkroukamp8372 give the lad a chance huh !?
Missing free broadcast.
And redbull I can't afford to watch dh now
Seems like a great race, first one I've missed in years.
Same :/
Thanks Discovery , putting the DH behind a pay wall. Bring back Red Bull!
Blame the UCI not Discovery
Amazing! Take something that was free. Make it worse. Then charge money for it. Bravo!!👏👏👏
I wonder how popular the full race coverage is being behind a paywall now.
These commentators only reinforce the greatness of Rob Warner. No shade guys - you’re no Rob.
F UCI, F Discovery. Bring back Rob.
Was that Cedric?

My favourite sport and I won't pay for poor quality coverage. Bring back RedBull and superb coverage of DH event !!!!!
Is there going to be extended highlights free or paid? 7mins highlight or 2 hrs seem to be the only choices
Specialized must be very happy right now🎉CHEERS🎉
Winner on the front page. Gmbn sort it out , no spoilers next time please.
Wow awesome race!Great to see another brit on the top step after Rachel winning the womens race.Big well done to Jordan well deserved victory today dude!!!Thank You Guys!
Too bad they didn’t show the podium presentation live!! We got a tiny tidbit of it after.

RE: podium presentations. I'm not sure whats going on there because I saw them , maybe 10 minutes after the last rider came down. Weird !
Its unwatchable without Warner #WeWantWarnerBack 😂

rob and red bull now !

You have to pay to see it! GCN+ subscription
Way to go,Specialized!

Round 5? Is DH the same as XC and Broduro now?
Wow!! What a way to start the season

Is the live available on eurosport?
Missing rob warner and being able to watch in NZ
For the the first livestream not that bad like everybody says, its a little bit different than with redbull. I'm sure issues will be fixed.
Red bull had years of experience. Honestly yes it’s not that bad for a first time, I’m not affraid for the future
Nothing wrong with Cedric commentating. Massive part of mtb and super entertaining
Was that the original coverage?
I miss Redbull tv it was free and had several languages, now it is paid and only English ..... it fell .....
Anyone else having a terrible time finding coverage in US? I signed up for Discovery+ and there's no UCI world cup, or any sports anywhere on the app. I tried GCN+ and it won't let me sign up for an account.
Same I had to catch the spotty coverage on RUclips
I think a lot of riders are going to try just to qualify within the top 10 to save some energy for the finals. A lot of riders looked like they ran out of gas 3/4 down.
OMG... Historic. This proves that the new changes, to make junior's more important and visible, are in the right direction.
would be nice to play the highlights in reverse order, from 3rd to 1st
Extremely amazing!!!! Yeahhhhh 👍🏻
That intro made me feel like the game was loading
Please upload the winning runs on there own!
Any old school mma fan s here? Cedric reminds me of Bas Rutten commentating for PRIDE.
No free Final Live coverage?
Good old times are finished. Business is business
@@manulabricole yeah, seems gone are the wide-open coverage 💸💸💸💸💲💵
Would have been nice to see finns run?!
I need the binoculars to read the times
This highlights package certainly doesn’t make me think it would be worth subscribing. Hardly any action.
What a boss!
goosebumps
Is this the highlights for real? Just top 3 runs without any resume of the previous racers?😢 I was expecting an highlights show at least as the enduro one (not good anyway but at least let understand the race)
Liking the commentary. Cedric has eyes like a hawk! Doesn’t miss a thing.
One of the commentators sounded like someone who's drunk and excited to watch their first race.
@1:35 coming into the bridge was pinned
Red bull tv is a color tv and you are in the stone age. That is the comment on your racing coverage.
Better coverage than the UCI!!!
Round 5?
Coverage is terrible compared to when on red bull tv
I can care less about the bpm. You took a niche sport and destroyed it by monetizing.
Really liked Cedric, he has the energy we're missing from Rob, nice one.
Can we please dispense with the cut aways to the warm up area during runs though, its insulting to the riders - why on earth would you do that to someones run?? It was like someone standing in front of the telly and talking whilst you're trying to watch, it was completely pointless and distracting - ditch it!!!
Wheres th actual REPLAY of the WHOLE Womens and Mens race.
I'vonly found the th womens and mens highlights and SPOILER ALERT!!! the winning runs of the mens and ladies.
Where is rob Warner
where is Amaury Pierron? did not run?
Injured himself in practice
you guys killed the dynamic vibe and now everybody is pissed, worst investment ever for the discovery. Hope you guys understand from your mistakes.
EVEN THİS VİDEO... redbullbike used to make the highlights more interesting and more fun to watch.
specialized on a tear right now. Damn, Love seeing Finn up there! Can't wait for Jackson to be 100% again. This is gonna be a wild season!
Was Dakota Norton butthurt or just speechless?

Wow, but kinda expected 🎉🤙
CG is pretty horrible. Doesn’t add anything to the coverage. If anything takes away from the race

Round 5 was it ? Hilarious.
Shit make it free like the semis
3 specialized teammates don’t see that every race
👌
This commentary stinks. Pay Rob Warner whatever he demands! He is king 👑
Must admit the commentators are not that great sadly.
Need to clean up that intro. It is too long
looks like i won't be tuning into DH this year. Coverage sucks.
haha literally how does it suck though? Its literally the same as Redbull's
So boring without Rob Warner…
You care about the race or the commentators? That was a really exciting race, doesnt matter whos commentating 😅 but ofc it would be nice if he was still there
@@jan27777 it’s like a good steak without the salt and pepper
@@roik.6694 Not saying I agree but that's a hell of an analogy 😅👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. I miss Warner's commentary too but I did enjoy this video.
@@JustTex yep.. i will edit
The commentary in comparison to other “top” sports is very obvious. It doesn’t feel anywhere near as informative or providing any extra info supporting what we can see
YOU RUINED THE DH RACING FOR US! FU!
How very boring
Coverage was God awful the new commentators are not much better
Sooo skin suits are back 🤔 lol
this is a god awful waste of the sport - making people pay - @redbull ftw
That means the demo is the fastest bike and the prototype is trash 😂
6:45 if Williams keeps this up in the next couple of years ILLes will be on the scrub teams like Intense or Canyon.😂
