I read a quote from Danny Hart put simply he said
There was a river running down the course so I followed it
Good old gravity and water all you need is massive balls

Got a reply from BBC
Hi
Thank you for your e-mail. The BBC only has limited resources and has to
spread those resources across a great number of sports, including many
minority sports which other commercial broadcasters do not cover. Along
with the major sports, we make a priority of covering those to which we
have broadcast rights, and Olympic sports. This does mean that sports
such as downhill mountain-biking are likely to miss out.
We do on occasion cover world titles in sport that fall out of the
parameters set out above but it's a case of when staffing allows.
Unfortunately the downhill mountain biking fell on a massive weekend of
sport - with Olympic sport including athletics, rowing, basketball - and
we weren't made aware of the event beforehand or the results afterwards
by the body in charge of the event.
In addition, we'll be getting in contact with our regional journalists
to investigate the possibility of doing a piece with Danny Hart.
Kind regards,
BBC Sport Interactive
The bit in bold I found interesting...
Just received the same standard reply here. Maybe the PR-savvy new sponsors will sort out this lack of media liaison?

There is an interview with Brendan Fairclough in this months Dirt where he says that he does whips, not to show-off, but because that is the way he likes to ride.
I guess that the best way to go fast is to ride the way you like to ride, a bit like Rossi or Stoner rear wheel steering through a corner: Sure it looks good, but ultimately it's just the way they like to ride.
Someone please shoot the commentators. Utter ****s. He's just riding a frickin' bike.
I got the exact same response.. Weird eh!!
Would have thought there would have been more about it on here.. Was that the case when Peaty won it??
each race i entered this year cost at least £100.
That's nuts, I had no idea it cost that much to do a race. I guess there needs to be more organisation than something like a £30 CRC Marathon though.
