Will you ever understand that we don't need a fairytale report combined with generic free rights music. Just give us an authentic stage coverage of even just one stage, red bull style. Doesn't matter is not live
So fucking distraught that UCI DH will be leaving redbullTV, that type of race coverage before, during, and after the race is bar none. Redbull + Wagner + Ben Cathro combo is unbeatable
At least half this show is made up of already watched videos? I thought this was meant to be a bigger more in depth (I was hoping for more riding footage) view of the whole race weekend and stages.
Nice video. Liked that stats section with Neil... What i missed though, were those short interviews with the riders between stages... those alone were quite often a reason to watch those videos.
It was an improvement but still some ways to go. We want to see more riding of the stages. As someone who was at the event, I want to see the bits of track I couldn't see on the day. and why didnt people do well, did they have a puncture, did they have a mechanical. why was Jack so far back. these are the insights I'm interested in. Get much more useable info from WynTV. Still don't know why they don't just release the pro's helmet cams as separate video's, don't need narration and talking over all of it. Neil's segment was a weird acid trip. Couldn't focus on his facts because I was distracted by his weird floating head and generic youtube influencer graphics. Great event, and good to see some coverage, but would like more info and more racing footage please.
Would agree on that Stats with Rob section. A properly jarring tonal shift for the whole video. It didn't suit the vibe and style of the rest of it, and detracted from the actual content which is essentially the opposite of what the editing should be doing.
Bingo!!! "Generic youtoober I fluencer graphics" Not only graphics but the Incessant need to smash edit half second clips together. Ad nauseum for fucks sake already....
The 2021 Race Highlights style was definitely the best we've seen. Plenty of racing shown from each stage, comments from racers and updates on the stage and overall times as the day progressed told a great story. Seems like the crew is trying to do too much this year and getting lost in the volume a bit. Looking forward to watching the media evolve as we go. A monumental task at hand for sure! This post race show was a bit of a let down. Lack of depth in the racing story. Undecided on whether the stats section was good or not. Must've been a nightmare to edit though. Conversation between Ric and Ruaridh in previous years was great to follow, maybe that kind of dynamic could be worth brining back. Keep on working on it!
This is fine as a fluffy 'magazine' format but PLEASE can we have a video that is purely race highlights. Stage by stage highlights, showing us the times as they go, building up the tension as we see the progress of the top riders through the race (eg Innes Graham's story would have been amazing to follow. Heard he hit a tree on stage 3 but still stayed up top). This format is all over the shop, with the racing so condensed that is very difficult to follow what happened. I make it only 6 minutes of actual (non-ebike) racing segment?! Not good enough. I wanted to share a highlights package with colleagues but I would be embarrassed to share this, honestly. I absolutely love EWS so say all this with the best intentions
People want to see the race. If live coverage is logistically too difficult, then an edited recreation of the suspense of watching each rider come down and cross the finish with their place and time on screen would be the next best thing. Show the top 3-5 runs each stage with the same camera positions for each rider, start, a few along the track, and finish line. This video is not showing the race, it's more like an excerpt from a documentary that glosses over the details that everyone wants to see. Details like key sections of track, and how each rider handles them. Save the documentary format for the end of the season recap, and show the races during the season.
This was good, but the race highlights is all I actually want to see. The race highlights in this were just the same as the short one released earlier. No individual top 10 stage results, hardly any in race interviews, hardly any actual riding footage... It was better years ago.
Guys please, please just show us the race. The stat stuff and GMBN related stuff can just be posted as separate videos! I miss the old race highlights show☹️
Very professionally done (maybe accept the crazy stats section..) and I'm sure Discovery+ will like the content and how it was positioned for new audiences but I need to echo what other commenters have said about the actual race stories need to be at least double in length with actual race times per stage - that's where the excitement is for us fans, was Jesse just a second behind Rude or half a minute was there a race on?! What happened to Maes? you mention him in the pre-race bit then don't highlight his chain issues... and last years world champion you don't mention him at all after falling back after the pro stage, he recovered pace and was building back up and an interview with him afterwards would have been really interesting. I don't know if your limited on time by Discovery but you def need to give more time to the actual race and let that section breath. or maybe created two shows here a pre-season one introducing the riders and Maes interview and the stats section etc... Big fan and what you guys (Ric and RC) are doing for the sport is great taking it to another level just don't forget us geeking fans who want the nitty gritty details.
If this show is published 2 days after the race, it should assume we know the results from other sources. Don't try to recreate an artificial build up to the stages. A look back on the weekend would make more sense.
Im pissed off to be on my 2nd year sub of eurosport and no ews coverage that was a big announcement by Ric in a podcast march 2021, theres been zero on eurosport. Pretty crap in general.
Thank the sweet baby jesus we don't have to hear about an English girl living in rented accommodation for a year as being an Innerleithen Scotland "LOCAL"
Please do not mix the eBike nonsense into the coverage. Would prefer to keep this clearly separated. Also the video is below average of the expectation. More racing!!! The intro should not refer to the this particular race but the season and should be in another upload.
Red Bull still does DH and XC. EWS is not a UCI Event so red bull probably doesn’t have any rights. Plus Enduro would be boring to watch live. Long stages, you don’t get to watch the individual splits and have the tension before each split to see whos up or whos down up until the final 10 who are going to be close to eachother, making for a nice finale, like you do in DH. enduro is too drawn out. Pretty boring to watch i imagine
@@waldojpg RedBull had EWS previous to this, and you could watch the live stages. I was watching last year when Moir bent his rim and straightened it out with a rock and Richie went on the wrong side of the flags at the end, ending his championship hopes.
Great round up show - don’t listen to the haters. With this and Pinkbike Racing we’re really spoilt for content this year…some viewers might want to think about that before spouting more negative dross. Keep up the good work! 💪🏻
First part should have been a preview show released prior to the race. It would also spare us from all the duplicated content. The stat bit could have been interesting but the GMBN style delivery was awful - your audience surely isn't kids like theirs.
Dear EWS - even a Match of the Day-style re-heat of the segment action with ‘as live’ commentary is miles better than this. The producer also needs to give his or her head a good wobble if they think time is best spent on dizzying ‘graphics’, tedious re-caps or 2:30 of intro.
@@CM9999999999 Your logic makes no sense. KTM make motorbikes , emtb's and lots of other bicycles. Lots of DH races ride MX when training. Neither of these things has any bearing on the validity of ebikes in EWS. I have race motorbikes, ebikes and they are completely different. My ebike is like riding an Enduro MTB with a bit of assist uphill.
This seems like a downgrade from last years highlights. There were almost no race highlights in fact. No stage after stage breakdown. No short interviews with riders. Nice package around but RACE HIGHLIGHTS!...been watching EWS highlights since the same year Rick appeared and it was always great to get to live through the stages. Last years last highlights were so so good. This was so bad.
The whole bit with Josh Carlson had already been released so if anyone follows the coverage they've already seen it. Also why are you mixing in the E-bike garbage with the EWS coverage?!? Put it on a separate channel it's cringy
Sorry but that was all fluff and not what was promised by EWS comments in the very poor, short, and badly produced highlights video. Hopefully you take all the fan comments on board and can revert back to the quality 2021 coverage...
Yes I agree. Although I suspect CV19 panic was a factor when 2022 venues where being decided. For instance, Fortress Australia and The Socialist Republic of Jacinda would have automatically been ruled out. 🙂

YAAASSSS..This is what we wanted! TY TY!!
What happened to the GMBN guys. Where is the racing, the course preview etc?
The first 12' of that show should have broadcasted before the race...
The 8 minutes at the start, reviewing last year and the runners and riders could have been kept to a minimum. With more riding footage
"up here in the Scottish highlands" lol

Had me until ebike coverage. Really couldn’t care any less about it.
Yeah, the ebike stuff could have its own video and get stuck on EMBN channel
I do care less about ebike xc racing than e-enduro, but it's a close race to the bottom
same. could not care less. bike companies trying to sell new stuff.
But we don't care that you don't care. There's FastForward button somewhere there bud 😬.
you're wrong pal I don't like them either, but this is good racing!
We don't want E-stuff, we want live racing ! Not really comparable but even this MTB eliminator which is guys racing on a parking is live.....
