So poor, and merely reflects how little the BBC regards MTB racing. And not only that, they are the rights holders and they've covered very little, when they could cover a whole lot more. 

Now wait for a few weeks, and see how much coverage the Road Worlds gets..........it won't be this poor.

Why would it be good though? It is a minority category in a minority sport...it provides very little coverage as so few have an interest.

It is always rubbish for the people with an interest and follow stuff but to the average punter in the street, it is irrelevant.

Annoyingly, that is what seems to drive media, coverage and accuracy of many things these days...which I think is wrong and sad.
