Great stuff! Like to see more camera angles - looks like it doesn't get the same love as the EWS yet... I've always thought that one really well covered stage, with decent commentary, etc would be great. Maybe the queen stage in EWS and a downhill stage in EWS-E that has two or three really challenging crux-move climbs that would be impossible without a motor. Really challenge the interval training! I'm sure it's all early days though - and early signs are promising.
Thanks for watching Fraser! Indeed it's early days and the only way is up. Your views and comments in the meantime all contribute towards the end goal of making EWS-E as big as the EWS!
That's very difficult Rodrigo! EWS-E is relatively new and we don't have the infrastructure up in the mountains over a 70km route to facilitate that right now
Would have liked to see more up hill cycling which is where ebikes come into there own. It may as well just been unassisted bikes just watching down hill racing. Making the ebike pointless 😴 😒
Big thanks to the EWS-E crew for kicking off this year's racing in style at the Specialized Crans-Montana Round 1! We can't wait until Round 2!
Nico's still got it! Unreal! Huge from Laura Charles aswell! First appearance in EWS-E and smashes it! 🤘
Greatly looking forward to these events growing in coming years. There's an air of magic about them!
Specialized drive unit gave up early? I’ve heard that one before.
😆
Nice - looks like tons of fun. 🤘🤘🤘

New Yeti in plain sight... Launch day must be close !
Only 13 mins! We want more! lol
Great to hear! We'll feed that back to the team!
nice video!
Thanks Simon!
Wait, these bike have been derestricted from 15 mph, right?? Nice video!
Going downhill, yep, definitely derestricted!!!! ;-)))
@ They don't only go downhill.
@@TrevKen They are only timed downhill and 1 uphill (powerstage) which if you manage more than 15mph on you are a true superhero.
@@leedove7255 Thanks for clarifying :D
Do the EWS-e series share any track with the EWS? It e great to gauge the time lapse between "normal" bikes and e-ones
Go live guys!! Please!

@@embn I wish it could be soon. Good work everyone. Great event.
Glad Specialized have sorted out their motor reliability.

Looks like the riding is filmed overspeed ?
Nope, just good lenses and fast riders!
How long till a gearbox bike gets a result ?
This category needs more timed climbing in every stage or whats the point of the motor.
The motor means 9 stages and 70+km of riding.
@@leedove7255 seeing it’s not televised, more tech climbing makes more sense to me than more km’s.
@@__marshie What has the TV coverage got to do with it?
@@leedove7255 nothing apparently.
not a signle forestal bike... missed oportunity for cedric gracia!!
Yeah we were hoping CG would get an entry in but no sign of him yet!
Specialized motor gave up the ghost. Pretty bad for a Specialized sponsored event.
