So, the last ever elite finals at FtWilliam for Champs or Cup.
We thoroughly enjoyed a brilliant day yesterday watching elite and juniors - some serious fun and noise. So well organised, and so much happy vibe everywhere.
Predictions?
Observations?
Yesterday's NZ 1,2,3 in Juniors was spectacular, a shame Amy missed out.
On the shuttle bus right now on the way up. Most excited.
Been watching Bernard Kerr's LSD vids and he's absolutely flying. Place would go bonkers if he pulls it off
Is it on TV anywhere?
I can see it on the BBC website but would rather not watch it on my phone
Don't want to derail the thread but why is it the last ever? Most videos I've seen people seem to like it as a venue?
s it on TV anywhere?
discovery+ and i think eurosport are showing it live
looks like bbc1 are showing it if you don't have the above options

Live on bbc1, commentary for the juniors was pretty dismal yesterday. Would love to see Bernard Kerr take it but I'm going for Bruni and Vali Holl

Add I understand it the development plan for world cup tracks is to have top times around 3 minutes. They've done what they can to make Fort Bill quicker for the world champs, but they can't shorten it or move the start/finish and have something still worthy for WC.
Anyone know if the bbc have live coverage of the elite DH finals? I can see the Juniors as a separate programme (agree the commentary was crap - why not employ Warner?) but there’s nothing of the elites programmed in any channel.
I am looking at iPlayer from holiday in (a wet) France if that makes any difference.

It's on BBC red button now, and then BBC one from 1:15. Andrew Neethling has joined the generic BBC commentator so it's better than juniors.
Also on discovery plus with thier commentators
It's great for the sport that BBC one are showing it live for 5ish hours.
Ric McLaughlan and Neil Donahue commentating on GCN+ (and presumably Eurosport etc).
Not showing much of the course though.. out of the gate then cut to the motorway. Hopefully they'll show a bit more for the top riders?
<p style="text-align: center;">Watching on Disco Plus not showing full runs I guess they are starting in quick order so will we not see the top riders full runs ?</p>
Think the early riders are on a 1 min gap, the top ten will be on whole runs I'd think
Live here right now

Bbc not live??
I'm guessing BBC now have coverage, and they are showing earlier runs. Utter bobbins
Bbc not live??
Its live on the iplayer now, bbc1 must be a replay because the top 10 women are on track now
Video is private, come on UCI!

YouTube went off. I've picked up on here to cast to my telly.
Yep, UCI feed died for me too. Switched to BBC and annoyingly it's running about 30 minutes behind.
You'll have to be careful with social media if you're watching on the BBC and don't want the results ruined.
I'm assuming that the BBC feed will then be live for the men? There's a break between women and men.
It's live on the BBC website
When you say live you mean 30 minutes behind ?
well the winning run coverage after the end was good anyway
Bring back Warner !
Surely with the fact the runs are 5 minutes long, it would be better to watch a bit behind live as they can show more of each run?
I can’t get past thinking it’s Patrick Kielty commentating 😬😬😬

But then you wouldn't be able to show the winning run live, you would always be a bit behind. No broadcaster is ever going to do that 🙁
will the rain work in Greg Williamson's favour
That aged well
quick by the Spaniard there
Chucking it down, who's your money on now.
Well the rain is going to mess up the woods
who’s your money on now
Danny.....?
state of the wood section now,
Shirley the stage is set for big balls Danny!
I love Vic Reeves doing the club singer, but I’m not sure he’s a good pick fit the commentary.
It's got to be on Danny now surely.
gcn commentary is terrible :(. may just have to switch it off
Live on BBC1 now if you need a change of commentary.
Has the course been sanitised a bit? Last section looks proper dull.
