I am a fan of Enduro. I race, ride and follow it myself... it does make me sad that there was better coverage and support back in the early EWS days. We fans and riders need to make sure we balance our disappointment with some suggestions and give props for the positives. If not I fear it will drop off even more, as it is we all know the rumors that in the next year or two it will be all E-Enduro. I hope that is not true. I have been riding and racing mtb's for 30+ years and feel like Enduro is the most inclusive of all the racing types. That said I really am confused as to the push for E-Enduro, nobody I know or ride with that has an e-bike would do one or is remotely interested in E-Enduro? "Enduro is dead, Long Live Enduro!"

Imagine being a team sponsor paying thousands to get your riders to the race for this to be the coverage 😂 soon they just won’t bother.

Go back and watch old ews Its not too dissimilar hence why sponsors are slowly moving away. When it was a fresh format they sold bikes like mad but now people are moving to ebikes, enduro sales are downward trending and wont ever shoot up again because buying cycles are longer because our bikes have peaked. The format is dead not because of the uci but because we simply dont have the buyers and new buyers want ebikes too

twitch streamers with way less opportunities can host live events - its just poor how you guys kill enduro. Do a fckn livestream, it is possible !

The combined content of the riders with KZread channels blows this out of the water. Feels like the coverage is being done by outsiders with no inside angles or knowledge aka the local news. Too bad enduro is treated like a stepchild because the racing is A+.

Thanks for the round up of the first UCI enduro race of 2024. Enduro can be so much more, we gotta figure out how to cover this sport 'more', give it the same treatment as XC & DH, (it's so good).

The cover of DH is really bad, making a paywall was the worst idea ever, and last year we could watch the semis for free on youtube, this year we couldn't... How is the interest for the sport suppose to grow if can't even watch what we love, because we gotta pay for it ? Before with RedBull the cover was the same quality or maybe better, and the commentators were way better, and it was for free. There is nothing better now with DH cover, NOTHING.

I feel like there is way way way more content on race day than 22 minutes. Give us a live stream or make these better

Glad to see the real bikes getting the main coverage

Good quality coverage but not even close to enough of it and too late. Should be 35-40 minutes for each on the day of each race. Josh Carlson doing a good job.

Guys, I didn't like this coverage at all! I expected to see more riding, more interviews with not only TOP 3 riders, but there are a lot of other interesting and capable atheletes. You were discussing possible lines on "DH Man", but I didn't see what section exactly you were talking about. In my point of view the whole coverage was a mess. Should I expect more if I pay for Eurosport?

You clearly shouldn't expect more, the covers for both DHI and Enduro are getting worse, last year we had DH semis for free on youtube, this year we don't, at least for Fort William we did not. Making people pay was the worst idea ever, because there is so much people who won't pay because it's just not worth it and also 'cause it was free... And they think that this will grow the interest in the sport ?

Super nice! I really must pay one of this rally a visit

This is all you could put together from 5 stages of racing?! Please…🤷🏼‍♂️

VAMOS FLO!!! eres fabulosa, con todo y por todo 💪

Why can't Discovery give an hour slot to enduro? It just makes no sense to me. They're currently repeating episodes of other sports on eurosport, so it's not like they don't have the availability. Josh doing a cracking job and production quality felt up there that this could be used on TV. It's just hampered by lack of time to actually show the racing. No split screen showing side by side riders etc all the stuff you guys started doing last season... POV shots? We're here to see these absolute legends flying through trails at speeds we can only dream of!

Thank you for having Josh as the host he's killing it!

Fantastic re cap!! Ty

Too late...

Well presented

I’m new to mtb (last year) and didn’t watch EDR last year. This was a pretty cool edit for a new fan. I do think they should add the live stream to HBO or whatever streaming service for the respective country. These are like the DH, XCO, XCC highlights, not exactly ‘race coverage’.

Need longer highlights segments with longer POV runs, showing some of the top guys POV's back to back, to give a better sense of the racing actually happening. Think WRC/Rally coverage. It doesn't need to be over-produced. Throw some commentary on top of longer form POV runs, inter-spliced with some track side highlights and it'll be a much more compelling package. You can't keep throwing out the exact same types of highlights with Enduro slipping in popularity and hope for things to get better. Josh Carlson is excellent, though. Good to hear him doing these highlights.

More riding coverage! As of 3-4 years ago, as much riding as possible!

Visually looked good and Josh is doing a great job. It didn't have the energy of Moi Texi TV and was too late to come out, and for how long it took to get out was expecting something a lot longer. If this was delayed for E-EDR (understand you need to try and build that) just don't - you lose the impetus of the EDR racing in the moment, and I am sure the viewing stats will show people switching off after the EDR is done. It's a shame because I think you did a good job providing snippets over the weekend. Tried following the official EDR coverage but will stick down DH and rider coverage, I think.

I thought this was a really good round up of the race, Josh did a great job and I'm sure with more rounds and building experience he'll get even better. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Maybe for all the haters saying they want a longer video there could be extended highlights of each stage? Personally as someone with a young family and a busy job this hit the spot time wise.

What there should be is a live televised powerstage like in WRC, make it the last stage of each Enduro, doesn't have to be the longest of stages as long as there's enough cameras and good commentary 👍 get to it UCI and Discovery+

Lots of harsh comments... I think this was a great recap video. Maybe a bit short (only 15mn for the main race). Live video coverage is not realistic. If we can have a better "live result" page and this kind of quality recap videos (maybe a bit longer) it's already good. I find that there is a big step up since last year and I'm shure they will continue to improve.

Where is U21 results ? Don’t give a shit about e-bike, show us the U21 instead

16 minutes for the top tier of the sport. Appalling. Then padded up to 22 with some E-Bike crap. You really have no idea what you're doing.

Late but nice coverage for highlits. Just give us also more vid from the stages - more riding (it could be in another video and keep this as highlits).

ONLY 2 DAYS TO LATE.... wtf....

Good job. More please!

Thanks for putting the e enduro separate at the end, (i wouldnt mind if you left it out completely)

Hire the foks who are doing the lifetime grand prix coverage. Crazy that a gravel race series outshines EWS.

Edr should be live streamt also.🎉

More crap coverage from Discovery media. I did notice that Tarmo from PBA got signed to a pro team and seems to be doing well for his rookie season in EDR. Orbea's loss not signing him.

G'day Trendsetter's Rodney Rude was a legend 👍

With their ambitious changes to televise and charge those who are furthest from the spectacle, they are killing the globalization of mountain biking, instead of integrating they are dividing, they are leaving out millions of fans, and thousands of others who do not know that they are fans. , because they do not have access to watch the transmissions. The idea of ​​generating value is to grow, not prohibiting or charging more to certain countries or sectors, the championship cannot be so focused on the "first world" wake up. Otherwise, this video comes after the excitement of the championship is gone, it is a sad reminder of what has already happened, instead of a fiery spectacle to motivate the littlest riders. IT'S NOT ALL MONEY

This coverage sucks. Social media vignettes and a results transcript. Have balls to call this highlights at least. “Race coverage” is a huge stretch. 1/10

Whats going on?

Do a livestream !!!!

US DH series coverage is blowing that of UCI enduro out of the water…🤷‍♂️

What is there is really good. I'd just like a bit more.

Coverage is better than last year, but let’s see how it will be with DH and XC plays out. Next year do a livestream of the last stage. At least show us the best 30 in men and women on a 3-4 minute stage, you clearly have now the experience from downhill

Is enduro the only sport in the world where its currently impossible to watch any coverage without having seen the results literally 2 days earlier? I swear the course preview came out after the 1st days racing

Didn't expect for this year to be a further step backwards! Only 22mins of coverage, a 2 day delay until live, no U21, minimal details on what actually happened on each stage beyond this person finished here and this person finished there. We can all read a timing sheet, tell us why people had good/bad stages and finished in that position. Also, what's going on with the weird pronunciation of most racers' names, even the easier European names e.g. Adrian Dailey/Hattie Harnden? Why would a sponsor ever support riders for this coverage?! Please please please separate e-enduro into a separate video, so we can just ignore.

Washed out early in the week, having grip issues and decided to sit out unfortunately.

Enduro needs better coverage, but we just admit it's a hard sport to cover, much like WRC. I would like to see 50% camera coverage of the longest stage, the most technical stage, then the final stage. I understand that's a lot of cameras and uplinks to figure out, but even a post-produced 2hr show running all the footage together with commentary as if it were in the moment would be fine.

Let’s have more, EDR!

Once again fans were ignored, no separate ebike coverage. If you want to grow the eEDR give them more coverage. Not too bad as far as overall coverage goes, glad the split screens are gone.

The amount of well known elite racers on podiums is honestly an embarrassment to this sport. Companies are so willing to protect their shareholders rather than investing in the future of the sport through proven or new athletes

We need more content. This simply isn't good enough.

I get that live streaming an enduro event is way harder then DH for lots of reasons but, as others have said, 20ish minutes for two days of riding, come on. You could at least have cameras in place and get footage of the top 5 men and women, throughout the stages, not full runs, just a highlight reel. How do you guys expect to grow interest and fans if people can't watch it?

Gosh I didn't realize the racers were all trying to win until you spent a lot of time in the beginning of the video to tell me that. 🙄

I don't know who these new announcers are but they are so much better thanthat clown Ric McLaughlinIs. Thank you very much!

Which drug did Richie Rude get busted for?

What UCI wins doing everything to kill Enduro and Downhill racing??? More coverage for road "doping" racing? Also Josh with wrong pronunciation of places and names looks like a newby and he is not... Terrible coverage! Bring EWS back, UCI sucks!

This cover up was AWFUL! 🤮

What was that? Only 16 mins of coverage (not including the e-EDR cause I stop watching for that)!!! This is embarrassing, every clip of actually biking in that was 2 seconds long, only showing one section section once (i love watching different riders go through the same section, that happened often before), and I constant need for talking over the top??? C’mon you guys…

Appalling highlights. Far too short and fast cuts give no sense of how the riders are doing against one another. UCI and Warner Bros really are ruining this good sport.

Several years ago before ESO/WB/Discovery took over the coverage, the EWS coverage was pretty good, and that was when one EWS round was over 2 or 3 days with decent post race videos. The coverage of DH & XCO has also dropped since Red Bull were dropped, and Red Bull showed it for free. Camera angles are poor, fake audio being played over the coverage, poor commentary the list is endless.

Looks like another year proving the Enduro format is totally boring for video coverage.

Embarrassing commentary and embarrassing coverage! How to ruin a sport 👏👏👏

Coverage is very poor. Didn’t like it at all

my gosh... this "coverage" is at best atrocious. There is no back knowledge from those in commentry... the imagary is awful, the cam angles dire. There is no sense of understanding of the pressures of the race.. in summary, Pants, it's embarrasing. I've followed the EWS from where it started. It's terminally nerfed. I, and suppose many ,many others... are checking out. Goodbye world Enduro...

This is a joke, you are killing enduro by not covering it properly. All the coverage is on average and so minimal. Company's will lose motivation to support riders because you just don't cover it. This is so bad.

Horrendous video really, enduro it's enough hard to follow without showing nothing on the climbs or explaining the point of it, just looking like low level downhill racing... And the video it's awfully bad.

Nobody is expecting mother-tongue pronunciation of Italian names, but… come on, put a bit of effort into it! Borderline embarrassing and certainly unprofessional. Overall, coverage was quite “flat”, videos running in the background, not very connected to the narration, not engaging. Like others have said, imagine being a sponsor putting $$ into the sport, and seeing this in return… 😩

When it’s enduro weekend and you just get flooded with DH stuff 🥲
