Looks like the motorway last sector decides the finish time. Yay.
World Champs 2020 - Leogang!!
- Thread starter shelteringsky
- Start date
Motorway is in the middle, and the part that comes after has more potential for gaining or losing significant amounts of time.
At least from qualifying, that last timing drives across the line for results. Is the trap-rock mid section that much longer than end run of the track??
Poor strategy when they announced quali's as finals if the weather goes sideways
kinda shit that happens with miscegenated wheels sizes........
yep.
Casual "Bulldooooog", "peateeey" trackside acknowlegement was cool.
video looks to be cut and restarted at one point around then but if it's spliced together at the same point(ish) that run incl passing a slower rider would have put him somewhere around 15th in quailies.
fucking legend!
who was that at 3:41 with the sweet move on the stars n bars bike? harrison?
it's a saltire paint job for World Champs

That 3:01 gap was decent haha. Fuck that must be tricky.
Is anyone in the freedom states having luck using Opera to watch the XC race? I can't get it to work with the VPN settings.
I haven’t tried yet, but there’s some info on how to get around it here. https://m.pinkbike.com/news/how-to-use-a-vpn-to-watch-the-world-championships-on-red-bull-tv-in-a-geoblocked-country.html
Saw that already. Pinkbike mentions using Opera but it does not work. Seems like the only reliable surefire open is to sign up for a paid VPN.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck you to nbc universal for putting mtb world championships behind a paywall with shitty commentators when the rest of the world has superior commentating and is broadcast for free.
Could be worse, you could have it shown with shitty out of touch roadie comentators and run by a national organisation that scams the public in order to fund and hide pedophilia
No kidding. It's a step down but a greasy turn right before the take off (Loic slid out at 3:27), and you gotta hop enough to clear 3+ bike length to catch the backside cleanly. This guy came up short.
Vital RAW - World Champs DH Day 3
The last day of practice before race day at the 2020 UCI Mountain Bike World Championship Downhill race in Leogang, Austria, still has the best riders on the planet searching for lines. Race day forecast is for snow and rain, so drying track from...

Doesn't he also have a Christian tattoo on his chest? Nothing against it but it "paints" (pun intended) a rather stereotypical picture of a typical AmericanI was also interested to know who that rider was. Ballsy move. Recently listened to a podcast interview of Charlie and he seems like a really nice guy. He looks to be on it and will be keeping an eye out for him. Paint job is not very subtle.
Wait what? The Cycling Body or the TV station?
NBC Universal is really really working hard for people not to watch their shit. They even limit access to their screening portal for TV COMPANIES who want to buy their shit. I also can't watch some US content anywhere (like "The Drive on NBC Sports). NBC won't give me info how to watch it in Poland. Ironically they don't give it to the Drive people too
Thankfully my coworker schedules a motoring channel so I will finally be able to watch it (though yeah linear TV is a pita)
Here in Argentina we don't even know who the fuck has the broadcast rights to the World Championships. But we're fucking geoblocked.
Given the state of the world, the shitheads in charge of nbc sporks gold should give the option to pay per event. WHo's going to want to pay for a season of anything at this point? They've locked up so much shit that used to show on their deep cable channels. What a bunch of assholes.
