So let's speculate podium.......My top 3 in no particular order:- Paez- Kulhavy- Perreira

Spoke with Paez team owner, she said course doesn't suit him with 2200 meters of climbing, with many short climbs. He prefers long climbs and world championships next year in Italy with over 4000 odd meters of climbing will be his big chance of winning the title. She seems to think the big favourite is the young guns MVDP and Sam gaze. Fantastic to see the youngsters coming through! The future of mountain biking is bright! Now to just convince MVDP to stick to Mtb racing and give Nino a run for his money!

He made a good charge throught the field last year in my back yard. Pity he was so far near the rear in the start in Laissac.

No live feed.... We have all this wonderful technology available today, but with @UCI_MTB #MTBWorlds we are still back in the dark ages. We should all go on twitter and go air our frustration. Maybe, just maibe they'll listen so we may have future live feeds. Don't know, but worth trying.

Live feed for 48 km of racing ?

 

 

That seems A bit point less , and eventually you'll have A few guys (or one) off the front , possibly after the first climb and then who decides what rider will be covered ??

 

 

And don't come with the 'cape epic did it ' they had millions upon millions available for the event.

 

 

Live tracking with number chips cold work now but live coverage is still far off

48km? I think it's a bit longer.

 

Why not, follow the leaders and one or two cameras on the chasers, not that difficult.

 

Wasn't thinking Cape Epic, more Attakwas, they have it spot on.

Here's a very nice example from just folowing the attakwas twitter feed during the event this year with all the action shots with brilliant commentary. Not rocket science
