It's safe to say that the super-loose dusty made life difficult for all riders.

Really great race. Very hard to find consistency which mixed things up a lot. 

Stoked for Luca 👏

Terrible highlights on YouTube. Here are all the crashes and then a top to bottom of the winner. I guess it sums the race up but completely fails to tell the story. A story I'm not willing to pay £30/mth for. 

Kudos to Luca though. A solid race

Mark Beaumont's commentary. Does he have any enthusiasm?

A really entertaining day of racing. I was sat on my sofa unwell all day, so this pepped me right up. Watched the Juniors too, also very exciting - with the added bonus on HBO Max of no commentary

He at least generally got his analysis right and didn't miss stuff but god he's boring.

I'm not saying anyone else should do it, but I find that a VPN to Switzerland and a considerably lower subscription direct to UCI watch channel works well.

I thought the EDR highlights package that Elliot presented was excellent. An enjoyable 30 min story of the race.

What he said was absolutely spot on but I reckon Marvin the Paranoid Android could have offered more enthusiasm

F Ric's S! Marc's asleep and it sounds like they were both phoning it in from the UK. This is not doing the sport any favours. 

I'm not Warner's biggest fan but the freecaster days were iconic, his Redbull stuff got a lot more pro and he's the voice of the sport.  To replace him with this s***e and then ignore the overwhelming negative feedback seems like sabotage.

Ben Cathro's analysis was excellent as ever. If you watch right to the end for the dodgy ghost cam you can see how Luca potentially won the race based on his technique of pumping the drop right near the finish line. Coulange looked too tired to do it and just dropped off the end giving Shaw a fraction of a second which is all he needed!

Tiz cycling post the races on their website for free (after the race is concluded).

they also live stream it from their channel on the kick app.

No need to pay greedy corps for the races.
