That's a terrifying story from Finn Iles - sounds like he was scary close to paralysing himself
Exactly what I tought! It seems that not even him knows how dangerous it was. It is even worse that nobody showed up to help him and he went down the track despite the hard crash...
Something impacted his spinal cord from that description. (I smashed t4-t5 and have fused t2-t8, so I know the feeling)
@@ericlovely2569 omg man... take care, wish you the best
i'm not sure how to feel about the stage the sport is at right now: they're going so so fast, organizers and crowds want excitement and safety kind of lags behind.. i know they're young and they recover but still, it gave me goose bumps hearing mr Finn talk about 'feeling like himself finally'...
Yep. Had the same feeling when I smashed my t7 into pieces.
What an episode. Cathro, plus all the KEY interviews and some great filming of practice. Whole different level of news and coverage
😧Another big story... Is this the last time we get to have Rob's epic commentary for world cup DH!? I can't think of a single person that would not be absolutely gutted if that was the case.
Good to see Reece back on a bike! Good luck this weekend!
I thought all the points for the overall was on the race run, with no points for qualifying just for this last race
Yeah, thought so as well. And this still seems to be the case:
"4.9.030
The first 10 women elite and the first 20 men elite in the qualifying round are awarded world cup points as per the scale in article 4.9.037. However, in the last round of the UCI MTB world cup season, no points for the qualifying round will be given. The points (qualifying round and final) will be awarded to the riders with corresponding position in the final."
You definitely get points for qualifying
@@ryanj9245 not in the final race of the season
@@Captain.Dingus I see, my bad.
Unless they changed from previous years, as others have pointed out there's no points for qualis. Points in the race are awarded as follows:
1st through 5th: 250 / 200 / 170 / 150 / 130
Cami's up 119 over Vali and 180 over Myriam. She just has to finish 4th or higher to guarantee the overall. Anything lower than 4th and it depends on how the other 2 do.
In the other categories:
Pierron needs to finish 59th or higher to win the overall. (Edit: Looks like Iles didn't start in qualis, so Pierron is overall champ regardless how he does in the race.)
Goldstone is already a lock.
Hemstreet needs to finish 7th or higher.
Good point and analysis. Myriam/Vali finishing top 2 is pretty certain so Camille will have to put down a solid race run. Easier said that done in her state of recovery on this track!
Best world cup coverage so far. Please keep up the great work next season
Rob was so emotional in the Vital RAW vid
Oh I missed this, did vital MTB do an interview with Rob Warner?
Towards the very end of their Practice video from yesterday. It's a very small clip of him but yeah the emotion is clear
“It’s not normal” yes sir that pretty much sums it all up.
Great episode, and a great year of content! Congrats, gang
Last Free Redbull coverage too
😥
It won't surprise me if next year we start seeing some streamers adding DH MTB races to the sports they stream. The only bike races I've noticed on stream sites have been La Vuelta, but I haven't really looked very often.
Save of the year!!
He’s the best. More please.
LFG Wilco! Happy to have him back!
I bet you he'll be 17th Cathro.
No points for Quali guys! Appreciate the hard work though!
Welcome back Dave
great show Ben, love t spread of stuff you throw in. scared t hell out of me listening to t roll call of injuries! part. Finn Iles description of his prang.
I LOVE Reece is back!
Glad to see Finn putting his safety first, would have been fun to watch him race today but the lad has a long career ahead of him
Nice! 🔥
Neck injuries are terrifying, I'm surprised more riders don't wear neck braces, whenever I ride with my full face I wear one, I figure it can't hurt.
True! A spinal cord injury is just catastrophic! In fact I think the riders should be obligated to use it...
Same, just goes along with my full face. Amazed the Leatt doesn't sponsor a bunch of riders to wear them at least
@JJnS Farms from my experience, sounds like something did not fit correctly or the helmet was not compatible
@JJnS Farms same, i stopped using it because i couldn't ride properly on race tracks with it, it scared me because you feel so much more out of control on steeps.
Pretty much everyone that’s fast in motocross stopped wearing them because they couldn’t get into a good position riding. All of the pro guys stopped because they felt like they were crashing because of the leatt brace where they wouldn’t have without it
Cathro FTW!
Dave is a legend!
Definitely worth staying up late :D
See you soon Ben !👍
The end 😄😄😄👌🤌
Please no geo restrictions Red Bull!!! 🇺🇸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😬
I didnt know they blocked the US
"Red Bull" doesn't have Geo restrictions on World Cup races, & the only reason they had them on the World Champs is because Discovery bought the footage rights from UCI. Of which all the pay tv networks in each country bought that footage. It was all those pay tv channels, & Discovery, who imposed geo restrictions on Redbull.. In NZ it was SkyTV, in Australia it was SBS (atleast it was free), in the US it was the cable tv networks etc. And of course Discovery benefitted from all these channels buying the coverage from them.. And yes, the horrendously bad & glitchy coverage & the lack of informative graphics etc, & the comparatively boring & passionless commentary from a studio in the UK, is the "future" of Worldcup Downhill footage, now that UCI has sold all of it to Discovery.
As it was even the footage that Redbull TV used, from which Rob Warner etc commentated over, even that was Discovery footage, hence why the graphics were different.. In NZ i used a VPN to watch it via SBS OnDemand in Australia, not knowing that Redbull was covering it at all.. then i discovered that they did in fact cover it in a limited no of countries, so i re-watched it using a VPN via Sweden, as Sweden didn't have any pay tv channels geo-blocking it, & the Redbull commentating was much better. But it wasn't Redbull TV coverage, & although they were onsite, they didn't have their own setup trackside, they were in a commentary box, commentating over Discovery footage.. The only downside with the Redbull TV coverage was that they didn't show the prizegiving, or Loic etc having to be protected by police & wisked away on a buggy. The Discovery footage covered that, but other than that i preferred the passion of Rob Warner, Elliot Jackson, & Tracey Hannah, commentating on their own sport..
@@danharvey3096 yes, in a nutshell: The future of DHWC looks grim - Most fans probably wont even get to see it without some costly subscription. Fuck that.
Up to speed big man
wiiiw these guys are getting as much beating like their bikes. And those rim busters definitely scared my wallet.
Womens is gonna be so exciting with 3 girls absolutely going for it. Cami is legit savage racing a month out of a broken collarbone with fresh metal in her body to try to cinch the year up. Jesus.
How about an interview with our own newly crowned Junior world champion please Ben! 👊
yeah Finn, there is something wrong,you should consider wearing a neck brace,I watched someone at Duryea dh in Reading PA. who I believe could have ended up paralyzed had he not been wearing a neck brace.It makes no sense to me.I wear a neck brace anytime I'm on a downhill bike and barely notice it.
Agree! These guys are so exposed, and a neck brace is something so simple that can avoid a tragedy!
I dont think a neck brace is that effective when you twist your neck, as in turning your head to either side. Its mainly made to stop your head from overstretching your neck in the backwards direction - which is probably a far more common thing to happen when you OTB and faceplant. But yea, I keep wondering why virtually none of the Elite field wears these (anymore).
Basically all pro moto guys stopped wearing them becuase they can’t get in a proper riding position with them on. They were going slower and crashing more because of the position is forced them into
Catch up with Bodhi Kuhn mates! He is on fire in the shadows.
PinkBike, we need the Ben Cathro of XCO. I know, you might think XCO is not as cool as DH but... have you seen what they do now with those bikes in those circuits while pedaling as hard as a human can,?!?!?
Reece with a mullet would secure #1, no questions asked
the first save was sooo close
Too fast 4 us:)
It’s so 4:20 at PB!
Finn is rested
Go Reece. Logic says he won’t be up to speed, but what if he podiums!
Who's hacking a butt next to Jackson Goldstone at 2:34???
I'm curious to see what Jackson's strategy will be in the race. Since he doesn't even need to be in the race, will he play it safe to avoid injury or still give it everything he has.
Watching his red bull preview, there's no playing it safe 🤯
He will get a time that would put him on the elite podium
Tell Chappy I said hi.
What about junior women? Jenna Hastings🤔
Where can I watch youth category?
You'd have to be at the race, it isn't broadcast
@@src248 damn too bad have been wanting to watch the youth group for a while
If Finn had a normal sized head it would have missed that root. 😂😂😂😂
I will take the WC right now!! Sorry, I will be back in a moment. 🚽
How do these guys ride with broken ankles/collarbones/fingers...? Are they high on potent analgesics? It is the only way I can imagine to handle a broke bone riding gnarly trails like this.
Depends solely on the fracture and the damage to the soft tissue around it. You can break all these bones in ways that make riding impossible from pain or the prospect of destroying it completely. Painkillers are certainly part of the game, though.
This may sound dumb but why is the “world champion” not the overall winner? Why do they have a “world champion” race that determines that title? Shouldn’t the world champion be the overall winner of the series in their respective class? And why is it the second last race that defines that and only that race. Doesn’t make sense to me. Then you have a “world champion” and also an overall winner, who is the champion of the series in their international class but not the world champion???
Not only would Finn need to win. Amoury would have to DNF/get no points
Am I the only one who thinks that Cathro needs a big old haircut and some grooming?😄
This sort of pride that native English speakers have about mispronouncing or not knowing how to pronounce foreign names is very weird.
