Thanks Pinkbike for bringing a great race recap to us with some great shots of the racers in action. Well done to the racers as well who rock it down the mountain.
Next season is going to be nuts! Hill, Maes, Rude, Nicolai, Masters (Eddie) and Oton as well as new generation Dailly, Melemed, Miquel and Gauvin who have been consistent.
What a season of EWS! It seems like when Sam really need to win, he puts in another gear and smashes everyone else. With all the things that gone wrong for him this season, like sickness, puncture and missing a gondola, he really showed those champion qualities thats required to take the win. GOAT Dh & Enduro!
I feel the same but it is what it is and Maes is young. It broke my heart when the ruling came out but tbh it made for an epic season and I feel very confident that Martin will go on to be a dominant figure in the sport setting marks that will last for years, maybe decades.
Loved the coverage you guys have provided. It's almost as an impossible task for me to comprehend as how the athletes can smash out enduro after enduro. Quality. Looking forward to next season already! Good work Sam and Nicolai!
Yup, now its officiall, this one made Sam the Greatest mountainbiker of all time, even one above Greg Minnaar! And probs also for Noga Korem for not giving up after that mechanical
honestly one of the best series on youtube thanks PB for the great coverage, please keep it up! Congrats to Sam who stayed consistent all season such a great all-rounder. next year is going to be brilliant with rude & Maes back in the mix.
Man, fantastic season. Great to see a sport where there's real competitive balance: Maes, Richie Rude, Eddie Master and Sam Hill can win on any given day. Florian and Melamed will be in the mix next year too. Wide open field, just hope everyone stays healthy and clean. Women could ahem, use a bit more of that, but I can see ALN and Noga Karem making it more interesting next year.
Awesome footage and excellent presentation! I love how you explain the courses. Maybe a little less volume on the background music and more bike noise would be nice, but still great to watch. Keep it coming.
Congrats to all the racers, specially to Martin Maes for the win, Sam Hill and Isabeau Courdourier for the overall and her race win/perfect season! I've just been thinking how far up the GT Factory team would have been if Martin could have kept his early season winning streak alive...
Loving the videos all year. Just wish there was a better way to watch live. I was watching the text updates on the website live and that was kinda shit.
I wish I could try to race an ews race like this. THere isn't much climbing and most of it is in skilifts. I know I will suck anyway but it's like a day in a bike park
If you ever need to know what a certain song is, use Shazam. It is an app that when it hears a song playing, it will tell you what it is, you should check it out!
Many comments about great coverage, really??? Not disputing the professionalism here but I would prefer more rider coverage then all this blah blah and stats. This event gets no coverage as it is, so it would be great to see more of the riding then all this talk.
It must be pretty hard to celebrate the results when this year was marred by such a royal goof up by the sanctioning body. I can't help but feel by Hill's words about the title that he doesn't feel completely proud of this one, which is a shame because considering his circumstances entering the season he rode great all year.
The single most off-putting things about watching this is the bloody awfull music - so not needed. It does nothing to enhance the visual experience of seeing these top-class athletes in action. The producer needs sacked.
Sam Hill - the LEGEND and the GOAT :)
"put yourself in the red and stay there"
words to live by.
Not for financial peeps

I think Hill will struggle. Maes and Rude are gonna be huuungry!
and Youn Deniaud (young but ... !!!)
You jinxed it!!! 😂
@@tomwallhead6950 damn i was waiting to read something like this!
And now Jack Moir.......
What a season of EWS!

Congrats Sam, your a legend. Next year will be a great year for the sport with Mae's and Rude back in the throws. Cant wait
🤙👆
Thanks for covering the season pink bike.
Sam smashed it!!!!
Awesome ride
Love these lengthy highlight vids... Keep it up Pinkbike!
Congrats Sam, you absolute legend. Still feel sorry for Maes though as this really could have been his season.
I feel the same but it is what it is and Maes is young. It broke my heart when the ruling came out but tbh it made for an epic season and I feel very confident that Martin will go on to be a dominant figure in the sport setting marks that will last for years, maybe decades.
Yup. Im a Sam Hill fan but it shouldve been Martin Maes year. Sad to see the mid season set back...
Loved the coverage you guys have provided. It's almost as an impossible task for me to comprehend as how the athletes can smash out enduro after enduro. Quality. Looking forward to next season already! Good work Sam and Nicolai!
Awesome race and awesome season. Excellent coverage as always guys.
How clutch is Sam. Florian does what he has to and then Sam wins the Queen stage to shut it down. Unreal.
AWESOME to all the riders and the videographers bringing us the best racing... thanks all :) Well done Sam!!
Hell yeah! Go Sam, congrats on the overall. Big props to Pinkbike as well for the coverage, it was first class.
Sam the Legend does it again!

Congratulations Sam! Another one in the books!!!

Thank you Pinkbike. Awesome coverage. 👌
Team Canyon Yeahhhhhhhh !!!
Flo and Dim Amazing !!
Thanks Larry sad to know that was your last one
Yeeewwwww Sam Hill you legend. 🤘👏👏👏👏👍🎉🐐🐐🐐
So happy for Sam but also pretty bummed out for Flo. Hope he can keep it up for next year!
congrats Maes, welcome Back!!
Thanks Ric and thanks Pinkbike....legends
greatest stage in EWS history.
The opposite. Not fast, not flowy, no jumps or drops. And not thousands of people cheering alongside the last track as in Finale.
@@onathanj greatest final stage drama? that is what I meant by that; the closest title race in history.
Awesome footage and excellent presentation! I love how you explain the courses. Maybe a little less volume on the background music and more bike noise would be nice, but still great to watch. Keep it coming.
These stages and the backdrop give me a massive matterhorn!
Awesome, well done Sam
Great job on the recap!
Congrats to all the racers, specially to Martin Maes for the win, Sam Hill and Isabeau Courdourier for the overall and her race win/perfect season!
I've just been thinking how far up the GT Factory team would have been if Martin could have kept his early season winning streak alive...
Gooo Belgium! Congrats Martin!!!
HILL! HILL!! HILL!!!
No.1
Congratulations from China
Nice Videos for EWS. I love it!!
Good Job PinkBike ;-)
Thanks pink bike
one of the best videos I've seen today
So he won the championship by 7.84 sec. Legend!!
Long live the King 👑
Martin maes is just so good, unbelievably!!
Now what am I gonna watch?!?!!
Loving the videos all year. Just wish there was a better way to watch live. I was watching the text updates on the website live and that was kinda shit.
Sam hill the man!💪🔥
3x... 'your'e unbelievable!' Hill.
what an effing nail-biter.
Maes caught up with the previous rider,?
Bam Sam Bill Hill !!!
No stoping Maes next year.
Congrats Sam for the 3 peat. . .
Hill is the best mtber in the world
Well done Isabeau and Sam. Next year looks hot!
are these trails rideable outside of a race. it looks like a perfect day in the mountains.
the stages are hiking trails but open for bikers aswell, so sick days for sure!
yes Sam! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I wish I could try to race an ews race like this. THere isn't much climbing and most of it is in skilifts. I know I will suck anyway but it's like a day in a bike park
Great! But what is the music on last stage?
If you ever need to know what a certain song is, use Shazam. It is an app that when it hears a song playing, it will tell you what it is, you should check it out!
Flat Pedals win AGAIN 👍
How was Sam Hill the challenger when he was the defending champion? lol
I guess it was phrased this way, because he was quite a bit behind Nicolai before the start of the race. Overall you are right!
Anton S. 60 points isn’t very far behind
16:25 :((((
GOOO SAM YOU LEGEND
Who race with polygon?
Where are all the spectators?
Why ride the most riders the Black Fox 36
I want the soundtrack please
Coverage always great but please find some different music :) or maybe just turn it down slightly.
Le 1
If my fortune is with me maybe i might be in the EWS 2025.
So we are all just ignoring that Isabeau has a brand new prototype frame?
I miss days when there was some heavy music on mtb videos
Does UCI dictate the soundtrack selection criteria as well? OMG it is horrendous! :D
Maes the true winner.
Martin maes the boss
This MTB enduro is like DH racing in stages....
Go Daniel Ricciardo!
Pinkbike, you had one forking job.
15:17 she really has a deeo voice
Aljaž Trošt 😂

soccer: Messi
enduro mtb: Hill
Football: CR7
Annoying music 😖

Sam is cheating with this Michelin tires! :-p
I'm tired of that stupid soap commercial.
2:19 that's why you don't run shimano

Stupid music in the background
