Last 2 world cup freecaster streams have been flawless for me, and thats a first, it used to always freeze.
World Cup #3 - La Massanna, Andorra
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
UCI is in charge of the cameras/placement. Freecaster just delivers the feed.
Feed was flawless for me as well, only complaints were:
1) Not enough cameras (as usual)
2) The through-the-woods footage didn't seem... right somehow. At first it looked sped up, but after watching it for a bit it just seemed choppy?

I'd love to point out that the top 5 guys today all speak ENGLISH as their native tongue. (Sorry, I have given up on the top american stuff and resorted to ENGLISH as being americas only highlight...no we didn't create it, but close enough hahaha)
They need to sort the sound levels. Fabien was great as usual but too low, Rob too loud, cedric had a bit of hangover it seemed and was too low while the music over slomo's (which is a good addition) was too loud again.
original and steven hawking-like thoughts.
does anyone also feel that fabien was a better commentator than CG?
i too, wanna be dynamic on the bike!
i would have liked a camera at the landing of the blind drop off. altho, it looked like many were scrubbing because the landing was so tight. i also would have liked another camera between that boulder drop in the woods and the finish line straight. seems like a good amount of racers were up at that point, but finished down at the finish.

anyone has the results?
thanks dude
Fabian did an excelent job as a commentator imo. He paid attention to the action all the way, and commented what was wort commenting on, not just random rambling like Warner. Good rambling though, don´t get me wrong 
The sound quality on Fabian/CG´s mic where a bit shady, but worked all right.
The camera work was not that bad, but it can always improve. Remember guys, we´re in the birthstage of downhilling-tv here. We´re so lucky to be able to see this!
THANKS FREECASTER!!
PS! Hope you´re cameraman is OK.

Agree Fabien and Warner worked out really good.
Freecaster worked excellent here, fullscreen on the tv!
Really impressed with Robin Wallner (swe) in 20th place, a young 21 year old privateer driving around in a van with other swedish friends doing the worldcup without any real factory backing. 23rd in the total standings too.
And now he's famous for crashing into the cameraman

Sam blew up off that drop. He landed a bit sideways and got LAUNCHED. He somehow ended up in the snowbank about 75m away. He is happy to be alive he said. It could have been MUCH worse.
According to Fraser, there is video of the crash, sounds horrible. DIRTtv later perhaps?
Gutted Sam lost it as he was absolutely flying on the first section and by far the most entertaining rider to watch.
Glad Peaty got his 17th.
I would love to have seen camera work of the final section where Mick Hannah killed everyone else for absolutely ages. Shame the UCI couldn't stump up for one more camera.

The video is crazy. I have no idea how he even got up. Worst crash I have seen in a long time.
I'm not seeing it there, want to link us to it? I'm only seeing video footage from la brest
The race ended 3 hours ago? Give it a day or so.
but...but...this is the internet-age
it should've been up 3 hours BEFORE the race.
Ah, I just misunderstood you I guess. I thought you were saying it was already up.

Could indeed read that off the body language from the spectator at the livefeed. He grabbed his head so suddenly I already had the feeling something was pretty wrong. Was hoping he couldnt believe how insanely fast Sam was instead but no luck
Thanks so much! Really happy with result got a flat on la bresse on qualify so couldn't make it to the final and here was all good, so pretty happy, goal was top 40
.About Sam's crash a friend got it taped it's the one Fraser is talking about i give the parkin bros his phone to try sort out the fotage for the dirt tv but have no clue how it ended up.
Just wondering - I've heard this song before, but - who is it and what is the name of it in this vid clip?
I'm pretty much speechless with Peaty. Back to back wins making for 17 in total... UNREAL.
Mick has been a beast this year - very consistent and just on it. It's good to see Leov up on the podium as well. Smith 10th and Polc 14th - not bad guys! Congrats to Cesar Rojo as well!
I feel for Rennie - he has so much power and potential. I really want to see him at the top of the podium one of these days.
I believe the song is 'E-Pro' From Beck??
How lucky did GT get by signing Mick, very cool.
K Shiz told me Rennie is winning worlds, so you will be all good there
Ha - OK, so at least Rennie will have that under his belt.
Yeah - seriously - GT made a good move with Mick. I think that year off really helped him a lot.
Hmmm... Beck you say? I'll youtube it. Thanks Stik!

GT SCORED BIG!!! I wonder how many companies are kicking themselves is the asses for not signing him?
I think the world cup two years ago (or three, can't remember) in Brazil was won by Matti by only .01 or something. I could also just be making this up.
Robin Wallner crashing into the camera man in the finish area!!
His brakes had stopped working halfway down the course!
I dont know about Rennie but I suspect he is the master of his own demise. He just seems pissed at himself.
It seems to me that for the last two years, every time I have seen him being interviewed post quali's or post race, he has just hated on himself. I think he has this negative mind set going on and its really affecting his results.
This is just my impression of watching the interweb, I am probably wrong but I dont see anyone else on the circuit bagging themselves. People are either sitting on the fence (i.e. modest) or really positive.
Its all in the head.

dirt tv vid.... so good
great shot a sam at the finish with his goggles covered water from putting himself into a snow bank. looking at other clips of that drop there is no snow anywhere near it... where the hell did he land?
Steve Peat is a legend

He landed out in the open, past that drop by about 50m maybe?
