DH World Cup thread

could hear them though, when they went through the house lolWouldn't be Redbull if it wasn't glitching. I ended up on Youtube where it was glitching.
Good race though, plenty of thrills & spills, my only disappointment was the lack of dogs on track.
That section of the race where they go through the house is the weirdest bit of DH racing in the world. I absolutely love it.
OK, I take that back, it was mean. Pretty clear BK was unfortunate to blow a foot off at the worst moment, leaving him with no chance of making the drop out of el casa.Patiently waiting for BK to upoad his latest LSD. Can't understand why it's taking so long, must be iffy internet in Chile.
LIVE Downhill - Crankworx World Tour Rotorua 2025
Dive into the roots of Crankworx in legendary Rotorua, Aotearoa New Zealand, where the magic of mountain biking meets the famous hero dirt.____Red Bull Bikes...

Jenna Hastings absolutely crushing the women’s field at Crankwork Rotorua.
I sincerely hope she can carry her form into the world cups for once.
Yeah that would be great. Would love to see her add a senior title to her Jr WC Championship.
The women's talent pool in NZ is looking very strong now. Erice Van Leuven (dead for now), Sacha Earnest, JH, Jess Blewitt (also dead for now), I like to think the future's bright. Jenna might be unlucky to be around at the same time as Vali Holl but she also went 3.5 seconds behind Nina Hoffman at the nationals last week. She needs a clear win or two at the top level to silence the doubters.
I did post this in the gen4 rumours thread (mainly because nothing else in there is about the gen4 and it's sooo boring).
This thread's been quiet for too many days .. so ......

Well I just received a new email from Staylive announcing some changes and their new website for streaming the 2025 World Cup DH.
Pretty much the same as last year for New Zealand. $5.99 USD per month or $56 USD for the year. The 10 race season fits into 4 months if you purchase correctly so thats $24 USD for the season of DH races.

Bargain !
We have the same again in Australia from Stan , $32aud per month for HD , $37 per month for 4K.
I'm not even sure WB stream in 4K but that won't stop Stan offering it.
Yesterday was a Pro-day for Notarace at BikeParkWales with plenty of Pro racers trying new stuff, riding bikes and Not Racing all day.
It was honestly one of the most amazing days ever

Me neither and it is easier to get camera's set up than on the side of some mtn for sure. Guess it is a chance to hear Rob call a race but he could use some new material? Not a fan of his side kick but whatever, like that matters......
You don't get pretty mountains or the thril of being in the woods but the attraction is that the course is unvarying, so the racing boils down to the rider's skill. If you can see it that way, without the uncontrollable variables of good fortune, then it's as exciting as any race. This one was over a 1km course, so really in the hundredths of a second.
Anyone following the first round of the EDR ?
Likes:
Long stages , big liasons , riders seem less rushed.
Some using a backpack to carry gels , snacks , water , etc. Seems like something youd do in an endurance race , no ?
Jack winning stage 2 with a crash by 4 seconds.
Live timing worked OK yesterday
Harnden on a roll !
E bike category seems abandoned , mostly locals entered , no big names that I could see.
Dislikes:
UCI media wanting an interview as soon as the riders stop.
The UCI in general but thats just me.
I bet the USD fork guys were wishing they could run a front mudguard , Richie also commented to Jack that he was a kinda jealous of the backpack too.

fallow EDR mostly through moimoi tv, ed bull tv and pinkbikes online results. Soooooo long stages. It is sad that there`s no real tv coverage but those guys youtubes are great content.
I liked this format, where you ride for two days and climb to the next stage using your own muscle power.
Back to the roots.
Back to the roots.
Just saw Bernie Kerr updated his socials to advise of a large crash he had that's ended his season.
saw some footage of it and he wasn't the only one to crash there.
He's come away with a broken wrist and on the opposite side a broken hand.
So two plaster casts!
