    Before the racing gets started this weekend we got to hear from some of the biggest name in the sport.

      I was happy to see I could watch on Max this year at least lots of people have that.

      really, how was it for the coverage honestly? Can you give a detailed review? I am on the fence as there is no free trial of Max currently. I don't want to waste money supporting crap coverage.

      press conference but no steam of the semis or qualifing. It seems to be heading in the wrong direction

    I'm a few years younger than Greg. The moment he riteres it will feel like the countdown just started for me as well. Hope he will go on for a long time.

      I think the rising star of Jackson Goldstone will fill that gap in all honesty.

      He'll probably race 2-3more years maximum at WC level if I had to guess. Pro sports at that level are brutal, especially at an older age.

    Really like to see these new press conferences, especially with downhill Southeast doing them as well. I think it provides great platform for riders personalities to show and get some broader perspective on the racing. Kinda like a formal wynTV

    • @jamesc6876
      @jamesc6876 22 дні тому

      If you haven't seen the detailed interviews of Greg's team change, check the detailed ones out. I feel like this question could be more unique and gone into something unique about how him being on Norco will change his outlook on his riding at Fort William.

    • @jamesc6876
      @jamesc6876 22 дні тому

      seemed like they wanted him to regurgitate and recap for everyone who hasn't seen or heard news that were hiding under rocks. UCI seems a bit out of touch.

    Love this! Great to hear from the riders :) even if the fox outfit doesn’t gain time as such if it’s more comfy for an individual it may mean a better race run indirectly. Certainly not everyone can pull that look off Tahnèe is the queen!

    • @bostondonmtb
      @bostondonmtb 29 днів тому +2

      It is broadcast on MAX with an add on called B/R Sports. I have read/heard that MAX has B/R Sports for a short time without having to actually add it. It will be included for a short time.

    • @WorkLessRideMore

      Apparently the junior and semi finals will be live streamed on YT but the pro races will be behind paywalls and it's fucking confusing as they were on gcn+ last yr. but apparently that shut down last nov. ..?? So I'm not sure any more...Discovery + in Europe?... anyone else weigh in....??

    • @RaptorV1USA
      @RaptorV1USA 29 днів тому +2

      Ok so in USA you have to pay for the MAX streaming svc. . It's $10/ mo. For basic account with ads....for a short time that includes something called BR Sports which is what actually carries the races, no info on how long we get free BR Sports channel with a basic sub. But ......when it stops being free, it will be another $10 per mo.
      I just signed up I'll quit it as soon as the season ends,

    I'm left with watch press conference or semis... can't aford the scam cost to watch the only sport I love and enjoy in the world, with some of the most incredible racers we have seen in this sport. WB and UCI you should be ashamed of destroying the fan base over the globe.
    Good luck on saturday to whomever makes it.

    Do not retire Greg, f conformity and ageists. You are not old and you are dopeAF. I love seeing you show these kids up every year. Mtb lacks diversity, it is ageist, sexist, every ist. You are breaking that mold and you continue to be a leader of the sport. There are few leaders in mtb, i know you didnt choose that position, but you are it. Keep being dope.
    You got me into mtb, and guess what, I’m still getting podiums at 42 and so are you!!! Lets keep riding.
    Just goes to show the sport doesnt have a shelf life, only quitters do.

    Santa Cruz lost big time getting rid of Greg. A true treasure and the knowledge he can bring to a team, even if not in a racing role is un measurable. Huge mistake from the "syndicate"

    It's such a shame Rob Warner or someone who loves the sport isn't conducting the interview.
    The fact you have to read who is behind you, when they are who they are. Disappointing

  • @RaptorV1USA
    @RaptorV1USA 29 днів тому

    For all of us who need to know where to watch this year ... apparently the jr and semi's (?) will be streamed on yt but. For the pro/ elite races you have to pay for the MAX streaming svc.
    $10/mo. For basic account with ads....for a short time that includes something called BR Sports which actually carries the races, no info on how long we get free BR Sports channel with a basic sub. But ......when it stops being free, it will be another $10 per mo.
    I just signed up will evaluate the production and organizers performance running the show this year and decide month to month whether ro keep it ..
