Please bring back Red Bull TV, these people are killing the sport.
Discovery and UCI: SHAME on you! You are killing this sport!
no quali and semifinal livestream is a massive fail of this org
Paying over $30 a month in Australia to watch what???? Imagine having every fan of the sport disappointed with what you’ve done.
dont hold ur breath
Where is it even broadcast? also in Aus & couldn't even find info about broadcasts, other than what limited snippets are here in UA-cam.
@@everyhandletakenStan sport has it, but as mentioned it's only the finals. No highlights, no semis. Total rip off.
@@risenis ah right, ok. Yep, everything around their coverage & promotion is garbage. I just found a video on this channel covering an overview of the 2024 season & it had 0 comments, 0 likes & 85 views. what?! This is crazy. Their link to see where it is broadcast doesn't even work either!
ppl cried when redbull did coverage as well for free. you can't make the whining fans happy so why try.
Whoever is in charge of the broadcast has no idea how to market DH. Absolutely rubbish. You've ruined the format and now hiding the racing from the fans.
Yep! Watching the final. Shows about 3 seconds of the start then cuts to 3mins into the run which is the final fast jump section. So boring to watch. Can’t see any line choices etc. just showing the obvious spectacle part for the ‘public’.
WTF was that? Where's the livestream for semis?!
Any explanation why the semi finals wasn’t live streamed today? Already Seemed like a huge unnecessary risk for the riders which is utterly pointless if you aren’t going to even show it.
Sh*t that's true. I totally forgot about that point. And it was the only free thing to watch last year
Yeah this is my first time watching world cups I thought it was gonna be streamed
@@JoshuaStarbuck-jl3nj normally the semi finals are free to watch and the finals you have to pay for monthly but for some reason today there was no semi finals stream
They didn't even post that their was a stream for quali until early this morning and you cannot even watch it until tomorrow. WB/Discovery and the UCI have just decided that they don't really care about this sport or it's fans or riders really. I really really miss Redbull. Wish they never sold it.
@@aaavellone they didnt sell it, if I'm right RedBull lost the contract, or it wasn't renewed. But I also miss RedBull... It was so good watching it for free, now I can't even watch the semis. I'm really angry about all of this shit.
fucking shitshow with the coverage, paying 7 euros a month for finals only. semis not even broadcasted
Uci and discovery killing downhill
How is this a highlights? Are they trying to kill this sport?
You had cameras there but you didnt live stream it :(
I wasn't as disappointed as most people with your coverage last year but the fact that the semi final runs were filmed but not broadcasted is ridiculous.
I paid to watch these live and you didn't deliver. Cut my ride short to get back and watch
No semi finals broadcast UCI? Why?
DID YOU JUST GIVE A KID AN IPHONE AND SEND HIM UP THE HILL....
VERY PROFESSIONAL FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS DOSH ..🙃
Not even going to watch this poor excuse of a highlight. Will spend my time watching highlights from people who care avout the sport. Mainly the riders and people like pinkbike. Will also cancel my subscription to discovery+ if this continues. 😤
i knew better then actually buy a subscription until i hear positive comments
... and i fell asleep. this is the perfect sleep aid
Thankfully it was only £6 for the month. Just won't have that extra beer I planned on getting tonight. 🤣
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.
Vital MTB did almost the same Video, just that this one is about the Semi-Finals and the other was practise runs.
What the hell was that! I thought moving semi's to Saturday was a great idea, but no mention anywhere that you were not going to stream it! Last year we watched around 130 elite runs in one day this year we get 40 in a whole weekend. Way to destroy our sport!
sort yer sh!t out, that was so bad. nobody think to do an outro or even show who's through to the final?
Bring back Redbull. Way better coverage
Well done, how to ruin coverage of a sport in 12 months, bring back red bull and Rob Warner!
No semi coverage, no advance notice = complete crap. There are too many talented, professional racers who rely on coverage for their livelihoods, not to mention millions of disappointed fans. Hope you can get it together and do this right. Get rid of semis, or cover them. Or better yet make it an LCQ and cover that.
If Discovery wants more money from me, let them go back to streaming the DH semi-finals live. I don't even mention enduro - you guys didn't keep your promise from two years ago and I don't expect that to change.
people paying.. feel bad. held off after feeling the urge to get max and discovery plus but knew better to wait. glad i did
Roadies running DH. Fn sad
WTF where can we watch it???
Your links literally doesn't work... also if we can't watch it live then what's the point???
UCI coverage is absolute dogs bollocks Red Bull please come back ⛳
15 minutes to cover the semi finals?! what kind of sh*t show coverage is this?
This is ridiculous and dishonest. You killing the sport. Never seen anything so hard to watch than the downhill World Cup
This is VitalMTB raw. You can't even produce your own ideas? Here goes the meme : I expect nothing, and I'm still let down
Vital and (as much as i hate them) Pinkbike are the only ones putting effort into media coverage. Bring back Redbull TV and Rob Warner!
And while they’re at it, bring back race tape, these bright yellow poles look like sh*t.
This is the official uci and whoop foootage?? For shame. It’s a bunch of phone cam footage.
And not live as part of everyone’s subscription deal.
For shame.
Why would Whoop want to associate itself with this mess. So disappointing.
We want live broadcast from you, not this edit that others do better than you for decades!
Great… a crappy highlighs video of which we,ve seen better ones of all the real fan channels already (pinkbike, vital, moimoi, etc…). Why is the quali and semi not live streamed? I openen 7 euro/month D+ account to see the livestreams and only get the finals? Thats a rip-off! Covering only the finals with crap comments on “who will be the fastest Pierron brother to the dinner table again…” is not what we are paying for!
Steam at least the semis and finals and get Rob back on the comments! RedBull please take it back over again… these idiots are killing the sport…
I just subbed to discovery and no semifinal stream?! Wtf
chris ball are u listening my friend
Yeh Chris Ball, sort it out.
NEXT ON "YOUVE BEEN UCI FRAMED" .SEND US YOUR FOOTAGE AND WE WILL KEEP THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES.
There's two or three other outlets who provide the footage more consistently and better quality. You need to up your game and stop ripping off a tried and true format. Weak.
ViltalMTB Raw is much better than this!
No Semi Live stream 🤷♂️…
Why do you implement the semis if they are not even broadcasted ? Will cancel Discovery+ when that trend continues… 🤦♂️
That looked more like a secondary school homework project than a professional broadcast. I feel sorry for anyone paying to watch the live coverage, I bet it's awful!
Riders should be pissed that you only see top 30 or nothing. They need skip uci events just one and that would get power back to riders.
Some one needs to punt who ever has the rights to this stream. With the popularity of mountain biking on the rise. Open it up show it to the people. They are blowing it.
I’m a hair away from throwing rocks! Wtf are you doing? I want to SEE the riders go down there. Every single one of them from top to bottom. Instead I read about my man Troy made it. Jesus Christ get your shit together!
utter crap coverage by discovery plus, don't know why I bothered subscribing!!!! not even a live stream of the semi finals......not happy and judging by other comments I'm not alone, you are killing the sport
Great coverage of the semis today🙄🤬Only found this sport last year and it seems like it should be the perfect antidote to clown world, with the insane talent out there and genuine love the riders have for THEIR sport but the corporate clowns clearly have other ideas - absolute gong show!!
Disappointed the semis aren’t live-streamed however I do like these new coverage videos like this and the press conference etc.
This is only cool when vital does it.
Sorry, what's this supposed to be? Vital had raw footage up yesterday. Am I supposed to listen to the crowd to know who people are, or try and catch their number and look up whether they qualified or not? No film or news of BK's off? You've had a year to get your act together, just admit you can't do it and walk away from the sport.
If someone set me a task of fucking up An amazing product like redbull DH events and coverage
I couldn’t have done a better job than the uci.
What a great job they have done
Uci has completely fucked the sport of downhill for the fans and racers.
This has to change now
Listen to the riders and fans
This is our sport not yours
So fucking disappointed 😢
big improvement over the last video. but you still gotta give us a replay of semi finals at least
are all those cameras props? why isnt this being broadcasted for all 100 thousands of fans and sponsors to see? sort this shit out for the next event ffs
Honestly we really need redbull back this is f#%king depressing
Industry stakeholders… start putting pressure on the UCI and WB/Discovery to improve the coverage. Bike companies, tyre brands, clothing brands, goggles and eyewear etc… everyone who puts a fortune into DH teams. The majority of those riders/teams/brands won’t attract any eyeballs on the reduced coverage this year…..
This level of "coverage" is an embarrassment, and this is all we get even if we've paid subscriptions to Discovery or whoever. You're destroying fan interest in DH racing. Please, somebody set up a rival race series with decent coverage amd less corporate bullshit
Horrible race weekend coverage. There's better coverage in the Vital MTB forums than here. Bummer. Glad I didn't pay for a sub.
Nice one for messing this up whilst managing to provide uninterrupted coverage for your more profitable cycling events. The fans are furious. At least Red Bull gave us somewhere to stream it.
When’s the finals? Will they be broadcast live?
sunday
starting around 11 am british time
Well, a few European countries have Discovery+ coverage, all others can‘t even pay to watch it with a VPN since they check your Paypal or Credit Card to see where you from. As a Swiss (where UCI has it‘s headquarters) you can‘t watch it even if you are happy to pay for it.
I feel so sorry for the athletes for being sold out by a huge company for their own profit.
None of the useful links work, that's not very, useful
BRING BACK RED BULL AND ROB!
What's the point of the semi final if it's not available to watch. Why not just take the top 30 from qualifying.
Just playing devils advocate here, as i was desperately looking for the li ks yo watch yesterday also .... but ..
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.
Wow... this coverage is really disappointing.
I used to love watching the whole weekend including quali semi’ etc now can’t watch anything live surely they are not racing at 6pm on Monday? When everyone has to be at work the next day. It difficult to find out what’s on and when. It’s a right shambles. How are they planning on bringing new viewers into the sport if hardcore fans struggle to find or watch it.
I'm paying more this year to watch less than last year! How are you going to progress a sport by putting it behind a pay wall and then showing less of it.
Not to mention destroying the EWS
You guys at Warner Brothers and UCI suck
Warner Brothers aka „Warn A Brother“ about their business model.
What happend to BK?
Fell off
I can't understand how the worlds biggest broadcaster can't organise a broadcast?
Utter shambles. Give us a weekend schedule saying what will be shown when and what platform.
Are juniors getting the youtube live stream like last year?
PUT REDBULL BACK IN CHARGE OF THE DH RACE COVERAGE!!!
Whoever is in charge of this needs to be fired ASAP.
If there’s no Saturday coverage at the next round my discovery subscription is getting cancelled.
Give us our sport back please. There is not enough races to justify buying a TV channel, sponsors need eyes so the sport can live.
UCI are supposed to be in charge and running this sport and their actions in moving the rights to show this show them up as incapable.. As this monumental screw up illustrates. Shame on you UCI.
Totally agree cannot find any information red bull provided much better information
One positive, there's not shit music to accompany this edit unlike the practice video.
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.
bring back red bull so we can watch the race
Haha the only person those canyon race suits look good on is tahnee 🤣
Simp
Troy pulls it off
Ed Bull TV, it's the future, now. This coverage is useless, you'd have though the last screen might have been a result list at very least.
Coverage is non existent. I fail to understand how a company can get it so wrong. They clearly have absolutely ZERO idea what the fans want. I couldn't believe there was no live stream for the qualifying or semi final runs!! Whoever is running your promo team needs sacking. I paid money for a subscription that's utterly crap!!!! Yet when I go onto the Discovery+ App there is screeds and screeds of road racing. I have to scroll through all that to get to the downhill stuff. It's literally like your actively trying to kill the sport!!
You f.... this up so badly!!!
Practice, quali’s, race! Simple really!🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ Semi’s is pointless even more so if they’re not even showing it!
Complete rip off, we pay for the coverage and all you provide is Finals not Semi finals. You are killing the sport. The sponsors wont support the riders if they cant get exposure this is just horrendous. Sort it ot seriously.
What a disgrace. Not a single way to watch any of the races in Belgium. Give it back to redbull and stop killing downhill
What was the point of even putting this on UA-cam. 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.
Whats the point of this, i have been waiting to watch and cheer on my favorite athletes since msa last year not ive missed it all and had the results spoiled. Cheers...... Uci (unwatchable championship international)
Well im going to end my discovery+ now after having it for 3 days. Thanks for nothing...
10:21😂😂😂
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?
Shame on you !! kids will do other sports
😢
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.
It's not even 4k, what a joke. 😂
despite the stream issue - proper content for ones!
Just stop adding those hideous sounds effects with deep breaths and cheering.
Let the footage be RAW!
First they killed off coverage of enduro, now they are doing the same to DH.
Holy shit I miss ews. Yet another format ruined by uci. Why bother taking over enduro if your going to make it 3rd tier after road and XC. The sport needed someone to highlight it, not hide it.
In central America we cant even watch it, what a bull shit
Sooo glad I didn't buy a subscription this year!!!!!! Get Red Bull back!!!!!!
Usell video, show us the whole semi or take the semi off...
Am besten keine Kommentare mehr abgeben und ignorieren dann werden die zahlen für sich sprechen und die UCI unter Druck geraten 🦦🤔
