MilkManMike Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 Watching ladies DH finals now. Must say I really miss the passion of Rob Warner. Can't say the visuals are any better than RBTV provided, but the commentary needs help. Who is the botox babe doing the trackside interviews? Yesterday at shortcourse and today for DHI, she looks totally out of place. Headshot, love2fly and Eddy Gordo 3
MilkManMike Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 What a run for Rachel on her comeback! Magical stuff. Must say, I'm not in love with the new format. There was something special about the all or nothing one run format. All in all, still gald to be watching racing again! Glad GM was protected for finals, hoping he can pull out some magic in his run! Something sad knowing it's the last season we will see him racing the world cup... Headshot and Eddy Gordo 2

Guessing Bart’s contract was with UCI and not directly with Redbull, so I am glad at least he has been kept.  Cedric Garcia is good with the downhill coverage, but I do miss Robs passion at both DH and XC Edited June 10, 2023 by MilkManMike
Headshot Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 MMM I agree with most of what you've said but not Cedric. I think he's terrible. Babbles on indistinctly over Ric's commentary. There was no proper build up of excitement or rather it was just poor compared to the Warner /Claudio / Jackson effort. Finish line was sterile - riders moved up and away from the action if on the hotseat. No invasions and wild celebration with the winner. Production was sub par at times - quali's showed very little for each run and too many runs didn't show the most tech section up top. Positives were seeing the Jr's live - something which RBTV should have started years ago. That said, it was an overall good experience with some room for improvement. If you want some good behind the scenes commentary check out Cathro on PB and Wyn TV without Wyn. Cathro's insta has his crash on it, Quite brutal and a fractured vertebrae to show for it. love2fly and MilkManMike 2

The XC overhead drone shots are useless while the on track drone stuff is great. Why try to fix what's working really well? Eddy Gordo 1

Headshot Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 If you want to catch Warner doing his thing watch the Erzbergrodeo 2023 on RBTV. Apparently he even entered the event once... MilkManMike and Hairy 2

Was an absolute basket case in his racing days, but his passion for the sport, and for people and experiences is almost infectious. Just rewatched the Robs Wild Rides series on RBTV last night, also definately worth the time. mazambaan and Hairy 2
