    Watching the guy watch the iPad instead of Loics footage was riveting 😢. I was holding out until I seen how the coverage was going to be before signing up to GCN+, no regrets as this needs to improve greatly before I sign up. I don't mind paying for race coverage, but not paying for poor coverage. Expected alot more from a company like Discovery.

    I've never understood why they cant just have cameras on the whole run. Seems like everyone is having problems in areas we just don't get to see. DH might be the coolest cyclesport but worst one to try and follow/watch.

    • @-TheRealChris
      @-TheRealChris Рік тому +7

      This was exceptionally bad, it used to be pretty good coverage, eurosport in the 90's did it pretty well, freecaster was the best and redbull were pretty good too. these guys have a long long way to go but hopefully they improve, you can never show the whole run because they overlap, there are 3 minute gaps between start times for the top riders and 1.5min gaps for those lower down the field, with tracks usually being around 5mins it doesn't work out.

  • @-TheRealChris
    @-TheRealChris Рік тому +11

    Yea this was pretty awful, camera angles and zoom was all over the place, bits of run overlapping between cameras, whole bits missing with bits of stock footage instead, cameras wizzing around not filming anything, clearly no communication between the TV truck and the commentary, cant see the split times properly because they are too small and the see though red and green highlight was almost impossible to see.
    I'm sure they will get better at it and I appreciate that the junior racing is now shown as its a huge help to them sponsor wise ect and its good racing but at this stage it's def not worth paying the large fee for a subscription to watch the finals imo (yes i realize it's the cost of 3 cups of coffee a month but there are a lot of us who can not afford and do not buy take away coffee)

    What are the redundancies on timing? Surely we're not relying solely on a timing chip that is on the bike and can be damaged/lost? There is no basic computer system that only does start and finish?
