So Gee is the new Barel these days?
Claudio can keep on doing commentary if he can get some enthusiasm for each rider and not only his Scott team. Track previews could retire to the vault anytime IMO.
The nice thing about the internet is, if you think track previews are stupid and annoying, you can just...not watch them.
And for those of us that are entertained by them, like them, and don't feel like he's pouring salt on non scott riders, we can continue watching them. Because the beauty is, its never been easier to take a helmet cam video of a course, and upload it to the internet. The only reason its in any way "official" is because lots and lots of people like us like to watch them.

I see what you did there. Bravo.
This. I will say that they are not as entertaining as they once were, they are still entertaining. Have you ever watched him do the frozen ice downhill hockey skating death defying track previews? those are pretty solid too. Dude's a pretty damn good athlete and pretty funny from time to time.
It's the loud screaming. I don't do screams on weekend mornings.
If that's the case, I'd strongly recommend you avoid mixing scotch and tofu burritos Friday night. #feeltheburn
so does that mean drunk rob warner annoyed you too? because drunk and loud rob warner is my favorite part of old downhill videos and I wish we had more of it
Yeah but when that was going on, there was a ton of shit talking the women's racing as a warm up.
Just gotta ease into it.
Claudio sounds like someone just randomly shoves a broomstick up his ass. Outta nowhere!
I kinda like claudio's random squeals, it reminds me that something cool happened even if I didn't get the joke.
It's not uncommon for me to miss out on the funny.

My point being the randomized track preview later in each broadcast make much better sense than nonsense put on by Claudio. Who gives a shit about strapping on a broomstick and a gopro?
Dude was fastest in qualifying by 10 sec.! Obviously it's the bike.
Yeah Claudio is obsessed with The Frenches for some reason...
..wait, he hasn't been talking about french fries this whole time?!?! I'm gonna have to go back and re-watch everything now.
what qualies?
unaware
masters worlds.
edit : quali results

Good question. Along those lines, I'm disappointed that JBP didn't quali first.

You can't race both. The rule always used to be that, if you'd competed in the pro/elite category at any event in any given season, you cannot race in Masters for Worlds for that season. Nigel Page fell foul of this one year iirc, but it was something like he'd raced pro in a 4X event, then won Master's Worlds in DH, and had his medal retracted when the UCI caught on or something. Or maybe that was UK Nationals and the same rule applies...
Bruni and Vergier are the prototypes of DH-dads. Still racing 
Cesar Rojo smoked the field by 7 seconds. The bike is obviously way faster then yours.

Who cares about your time or your bike when your name is: Fabrizio Dragoni (41st in the spring chicken category)
Fuckin A that looks great! Seems like there's a lot of punters on track, which I suppose is to be expected with a AARP crowd.
I had exact same injury in 2003, tree meet braking finger. 1 week b4 nationals at Mt Snow. Tried to race with broken finger and vibration on bars was worst pain I ever felt, even on good meds. Now Im sure 2015 Brosnan Worlds susp is far supereior to my amateur 2003 susp but a hand injury is def something that will make you less than 100%
He broke his pinky I think. (which I think is worse for holding on)
I'm still votin for him though. NFG that guy right now.
No. far too young
He sounds the way I imagine a sugar-high ADD kid would sound if they were riding SharkFin saddle on a DH bike. Not sure I'll miss that since he sounded totally belligerent anyway, and not even in an understandable Rob Warner type of drunken belligerence.
Isn't meth the active ingredient in any Temecula additive?
