do you have to pay for the 4x or is it just not working for me? I never got around to paying for it, guess I'll have to watch the live results

Imagine if this 4X racing was on Real TV......:tinfoil:

It is super difficult racing in the conditions.

Would look real bad to regular peeps though....

Martin was saying that the teams are trying to come up with a way to fund it so that everything is free after this weekend.
Then we'll have 80,000 people hitting the server and it'll get locked up again....nominal fee keeps that traffic in check.....no.....?......

I'm not opposed to paying a couple of bucks at all. Especially if the feed is as flawless as it's been for me today.

I wasn't complaining about the price I just wanted to make sure I had my facts straight.

Also, riddle me this...would it be better for me to wake up to watch it live tomorrow until I have to go to work at 10am and miss the last few riders? Or avoid RM and other MTB sites all day until I get home from work and I can watch the Replay all the way through?

Maribor 2nd round 4x results in:

Mens:
1. Michal Marosi (CZE)
2. Jared Graves (AUS)
3. Joost Wichman (NED)
4. Tomas Slavik (CZE)

Graves was fairly unlucky, as Slavik washed out in a corner, and nearly took out Graves. While Graves was throwing anchors to not ride into Slavik, Marosi took Graves on the outside and take an unassailable lead. It was super sloppy today. I can imagine the stacks tomorrow at the that rock garden during the DH run.

Womens:
1. Fionn Griffiths (GBR)
2. Sarsha (?) Huntington {AUS)
3. Anneke Beerten (NED}
4. Caroline Buchanan (AUS)

Referring to DirtTV and MTBCut still putting out practice vids.
from what I gather the rule pertains to race run footage, not practice. What i'm unclear about is if this affects DirtTV/MTBCut etc from being able to put together race day highlights or if it means Freecaster has sole rights to broadcasting the UCI feed, ie MTBCut can't embed it on their site like they did last year?

However it is interpreted I'd be surprised if it's enforced beyond just putting it in writing. It's pretty much in the best interest of all parties involved to look the other way.

Towing the party line.
Don't even know where to start. Freezing cold and pouring rain all day. 2 dead cameras. The company i work for got a 1/2, and a great friend got 5th.

Bring on the monsoon and 9c tomorrow! So down for it.
