Unreal run by Danny Hart. Loved it how Warner and Page got carried away with it all. Well worth 15 euros

I liked their total disinterest in poor ol Gee Atherton... "Oops, he's fallen off again, who cares!"

So if I want to see Danny's run, one has to subscribe to the season pass on freecaster? Or are the replays free after a certain point?

Flipiddy - that's brilliant, and spooky too! That pic on Eurosport gives you some idea of how mad wet it was. Immense.

FYI
If that massive whip had gone wrong, he'd have been berated for the rest of his career. What a hero at just 19.

@sniff: 'flawless coverage' - did you not see the women's race? That was the most annoying Freecaster has been so far in my opinion.
Danny's run was worth the £15 though, all by itself.

The women's race "mess" was caused by the event organisation. The juniors racing ran late, possibly due to the number of crashes. The Women's were delayed so they let them go with very short gaps. The filming company, not Freecaster, got into mess trying to show all the riders. Rob was getting really peeved!

What a star!
Any idea if it will be on anything other than Freecaster?..the World Cup is usually one Eurosport a couple of days later, but cannae find any mention on the website. Need to see this!Posted 8 months ago # -
Yip womens race wasn't freecasters fault. Through the whole weekend freecaster has been 100% flawless for me. Just wish more mtb fans would pay for it and give them the credit they deserve. They have raised the bar from last years WC.
If we want this kind of coverage of our sport then we should all pay a small donation for it. If not then freecaster go to the wall and we are back to square one.

I just read on another website that based on time, Troy Brosnan who won the juniors, would have come second in the elites!
Young guns go for it!

true, but you do need to take into account that conditions were far better for Troy's run

Awesome race, beyond awesome run by Danny Hart. The whip was ridiculous
there were guys crashing out just trying to roll the jumps... There was at least one line higher up which I think he was literally the only person to hit on his race runFreecaster I thought was spot on, there was a lot of whining on there about not showing the juniors but they obviously didn't have the rights. The women's was a mess as someone mentioned they were all at short intervals and catching each other on track, Rob Warner mentioned eight riders on course at one point...

I thought I had chills watching him come down at Fort Bill, but that whole run yesterday...
Inspirational & something to the effect of "Man over machine".Im off out in the gloam, that inspired I'll break something attempting to take corners like my chainstays on castors. ridiculous.

beyond fabulous. the lines he took ( think he was the only one to do taht drop off line in the trees), the ease with which he flicked everything through the corners, that tailwhip near the end, Rob and Nigel. Absolutely stunning.
Gwin was fast as well though, I think it would have been really close, but then, he crashed and Danny didn't. Job done!

It was meant a tailwhip but it was a pretty massive moto-style whip.
Great run by Hart, legend! So stoked to have a Brit as World Champ again.

Fantastic evenings viewing. Danny Hart looked so light on his bike! Amazing. I squealed when he did that whip - thought he'd overdone it

Yes this line was gnarly in the dry and he did it when it was pooring with rain! Plus pulling of a huge whip on a jump people were crashing on.
His run might just be the greatest downhill run ever.
