What a way to start the season in Nove Mesto na Morave!🤯
A mammoth effort to regain the lead from Joshua Dubau saw Pidcock inch ahead in the final lap, Dubau crossed the line just five seconds behind Tom who took the win. Completing the top three was Nino Schurter who sprinted at the line against Jordan Sarou to take third🥉
All eyes are now on round two in Lenzerheide as the men battle for the overall – remember you can watch all the action live from the 2023 UCI Mountain Bike World Series on GCN+, Eurosport, and Discovery+

Una bestia ese pidcock
Who knows where the broadcast is available this year?
This just proves that road bike training is way more superior than mtb?
Porque no corrió mvdpol
3 minutes of Highlights. I see how you force people to pay to view now.
good highlights. maybe could be longer !
This commentator has to go…. Seriously?
He is so bloody boring.
Dont make our exciting sport a mundane boring one??
Well done UCI
😃👌🏽👍🏻🌍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥 🔥
1) Bring Rob Warner – the voice of mtbing. Not sure how that was screwed up 2) Don't just focus on the leaders allll the time. Redbull you always knew where everyone was even those back in 20-25. Show the full standings periodically at a minimum.
3) Get better sound. It was awful in the woods in a few places. Almost like it was taped on a 90s camera. The mixing between the commentators and crowd was all over the place also.
4) Get better satelite imagery if you want to show the course preview. What the heck was that? It looked like a 80s Nintendo video screen.
Is the video interlaced??
I love the new commentary , Bart always great, new girl is hilarious af (Parker Posey impersonator). I love the new team. Redbull also had similar issues and mistakes in the beginning of their broadcasting.
You need commentators during the race, that is huge and our mtb culture. They must have lost audio.
You can still add the audio commentary and update the races so they have commentary, the fact that you Dont is pure laziness. I know because this is exactly what I do for a living. If your team cant figure that out, then double check their references because they know not what they do. You owe it to your viewers who just bought a year subscription. If commentary is there and I am just missing it than you have a big UI/UX issue.
The organizers of the broadcast made beautiful graphics, added new interesting details: the current speed, pulse.
However, there are also problems. Moreover, a CATASTROPHIC ERROR was made in the time splits panel. Previously, the data was gradually updated live. Now they appear with a delay and immediately display all the leading riders (usually the top 10). Information in this form is much more difficult to perceive. It has become much more difficult and much less convenient to follow the gaps, the dynamics of the race. This error must be corrected. Necessarily.
The second problem is animation. In two cases, it is too intrusive, it irritates and distracts from viewing: 1) when presenting the rider (especially when the panel disappears); 2) when showing the gap between groups.
The third problem is that the lap time is not displayed. It is impossible to understand how much the pace changes in the race.
The fourth problem is the "Race map" panel. It is useless, it only takes up space on the screen in vain. There used to be a comparison panel for two riders. It displayed the profile of the track (relief) and showed on which sections one rider wins from another, and on which he loses. The replacement is completely unequal: a useful panel has been removed and a useless one has been added.
