Haha, yes.Has the French language permeated your English writing too?!
Be there?
I'll be keen to hear how it went. Maybe if we're lucky there'll even be a re-broadcast... you know, to test the public's reaction to the product?!
Can you take some pictures,or short video’s buck? can you ride it? Are you workin it?
Avy
GCN+ now have the upcoming MTB races they'll be airing listed.
Where can I find that internationally? Since this is Disco, should it be under HBO Max?
EDIT: Installed the GCN+ app in the TV, the race listing (at least here) is rather stupid. Only Nove Mesto and Lenzerheide listed under MTB.
Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Like most people i will be waiting til the last minute so I can experience a server crash caused by everyone getting the same idea at the same time.

no need to be vulgar: GreatCrapNetwork
I didn't get any request to pay for anything when I registered, and the MTB coverage had the first two dates available for my region. Maybe I'll get a prompt to fork out some money once the race is open for watching?
Yes, have had it for a couple of years at least for their cycling documentaries and the road racing coverage.
Their streamed road and CX racing coverage also airs on TV on the Eurosport channel in Yurp, so it's of a high quality. Their MTB racing broadcast coverage quality is an unknown at this point as they haven't had MTB before.
Didn't Eurosport used to carry XC in some countries not that long ago? I have a vague recollection of that. Also what about World Champs?
Do we know the presenters for now?
Gracia commentator. Interesting. He's been doing the French broadcast for the past little while if I'm not mistaken? So he knows the ropes... Not a complete failure I guess... time will tell. But Rob and Eliott will certainly be missed.
Also interesting that the semi-finals will be free and the finals behind a paywall. I guess that gives us the opportunity to "try before you buy"?

seems they're back to the pre-covid standard at least, which is at least watchable.
I'd put money on my 13yr old daughter having way more expertise in football than most of the guys here.
Didn't he pop in a few times for redbull feeds? One thing that makes me worried is the other commenter not being from the MTB space. I am worried we will get Eurosport level commentary
i didn’t question her football expertise…
Gracia has been commentating races in French during the past years. I never listened but French dudes on another forum aren't spoiled with enthusiasm about his performance... let's see how it goes
I've seen similar comments. I think he is better as a guest than as someone who needs to carry the stream. You need someone who likes to talk a lot (potential RM hire? )
I used that a month or so ago, I also like watching some of the road stuff and this is a lot easier than trying to find a decent ripped version online after the fact.
i would sign up if they had Will-Ferrell-channeling-Harry-Carayat least they didn't hire mountain biking's version of Will-Ferrell-channeling-Harry-Caray, Claudio Caluori
The "new" coverage of the XCC today was fine, Evie didn't get the win in the womens, but Pidcock got it done in the mens \o/
We'd already had GCN+ for a couple of years. Watched the full replays Friday night, not sure if there were any highlights on YT from other sources.
