Congratulations to our podium finishers here in Finale Outdoor Region! The trails looked unbelievable! Who has ridden or wants to ride on the Italian Riviera?
Yeah, it's the most fun type of mountain biking out there. To bad 99% of mtb coverage is all about red-bull, enduro, sessioning, features, and jumps... (stuff 99% of riders will never do...)
@@ervin7178It makes for more easily produced TV that’s why it’s pushed so much. Much easier to film a 2k course with easy access to roads and infrastructure than something 100km long deep in the mountains.
I can't get over how stupid the trend is for helmets with no visors. I mean, you always wear clear lenses when you mountain bike (so you can see in the shade/trees). So having a visor is key for when you pop out into the sunny sections. Yet so many morons in this race are either wearing super dark sunglasses (so they are blind in the shade), or they are putting their sunglasses up on their helmets (eliminating 100% of their eye protection). For fucks sake cycling industry, lightweight xc/road helmets with visors. Make it happen.

This is the real spirit of XC - actually going across an entire region instead of a bunch of laps. Great coverage for a such a long course.
I agree

@@bikebudha01 because that stuff is more fun to watch than someone pacing themselves on a long course.
@@ervin7178 not really. Idon't enjoy watching a hampster running on it's wheel either...

The footage from the drone was spectacular. I’d love the chance to ride there.
Glad to see XCM getting legit World Cup action and increased media coverage.
Finale Ligure heaven on earth!
The winner is on a hardtail huh 😅 chapeau 👏
Paradoxically, the Marathon riders seem to taking on a way gnarlier, varied course in Finale compared to the vast majority of XCO courses.
Nice coverage and an epic course.
