The red bull app on our Samsung tv allowed me to watch replay of the xco and shows the dh as being available tomorrow. There was a choice of two streams one marked geo restricted the other not...

Loving the Vital "carnage" video, where it gets down into the woods and everything is surfaced in baby diarrhoea and the three metre wide track all essentially boils down to one tyre-wide rut and it all basically turns into every scottish enduro series race ever.

The bits up top are amazing for separating out the geniuses from the merely superb. 9/10 riders pretty much just riding it and doing a good job, then the 10th gaps it and lands right on top of a horrible stump and just carries on. Awesome stuff.

I just wish it still had the full breadth of field, ie, as well as the best in the world, also the Vanuatu national champ riding a decade old SX Trail, and everything inbetween so that at any given time there can be about 10 people on track because the slowest dudes need about 15 minutes longer than the fastest... Nothing better in this sport for showing how hard it really is.

surfaced in baby diarrhoea

I’ve never had kids so it just reminds me of scraping the yard after milking

Would be cool but it would be dangerous trying to overtake on a lot of the track. A pass going wrong on the motorway would be carnage.

The xc played on Redbull TV yesterday for me ( Android app on a tablet and Now TV box both worked straight away). There was a geo restricted thing on the event page but if you actually click on the live link it plays no problem so guessing the geo restricted thing doesn't apply in the uk

Logged into the RB on my phone and yep it shows geo-restricted.

However the RB app on the fire TV stick in the spare room makes no mention of geo-restriction, and I installed the app on the Samsung telly in the lounge and that also makes no mention of geo-restriction, both are just running a countdown to the event.

I'm assuming there's some difference between versions of the Red bull app for phones/tablets and TVs/media devices that means geo-restriction doesn't always work...

Edit: just checked my phone again and the geo-restriction note has gone. Not sure why but I won't question it...

We have racing! woohoo. Junior women seem to be really struggling, but a couple of times aren't far off their quali times.

It’s raining now at the mid station (track start) and some fresh snow at the top. Grim conditions.

Just seen that Vali Holl is out of the race today. Her insta stories show a pic of her ankle looking pretty swollen and UCI Twitter feed just confirmed it.

Gabriel Wibmer's time is holding up well! I thought it was beaten by Ethen Craik, but he just lost out.
Come on Dennis Luffman! Edit: Yes! Smashed it

It's on the red button, but I found it impossible to find a listing for it too.
It will be on iPlayer when it starts I'd imagine

Surely you've got some device that can get Red Bull TV? Smart TV / Laptop / Tablet?
BBC commentary is often appalling, but I haven't heard who's doing it this time

Wyn's saying that no NZ riders were allowed to start due to their federation!
Edit: Juniors only I think

Difficult to tell if conditions are worsening, of if the top seeds just aren't used to the conditions as British and Irish riders dominate the top 5

Sa sorry about Vali missing out.
Her insta sums it up.
https://www.pinkbike.com/news/vali-holl-out-of-world-champs-after-a-serious-crash-in-practice.html

I reckon it is going to ba an amazing three way fight in the women with any of the three top qualis able to take it.

That's crap, was really looking forward to seeing what she could do. Hope it's just swelling and nothing serious.

I got it playing using the redbull app on my PS4 but I had to login to the app before it'd actually play.

I had it on the app then it froze and now it’s geo restricted. If I download opera with in built vpn is it easy to use?
