- Downhill is back! Round one of the UCI Downhill World Cup is about to get underway in the ICONIC Fort William venue. The sun is out (???) and the riders are ready to get on track for training tomorrow.
Before the racing gets started this weekend we got to hear from some of the biggest name in the sport.
You can watch the elite riders live on Max, Eurosport channels, and discovery+

heck yes with the press conference!
press conference but no steam of the semis or qualifing. It seems to be heading in the wrong direction
make DH finals livestream available for free again
I was happy to see I could watch on Max this year at least lots of people have that.
really, how was it for the coverage honestly? Can you give a detailed review? I am on the fence as there is no free trial of Max currently. I don't want to waste money supporting crap coverage.
Having press conferences is excellent
I'm a few years younger than Greg. The moment he riteres it will feel like the countdown just started for me as well. Hope he will go on for a long time.
I think the rising star of Jackson Goldstone will fill that gap in all honesty.
He'll probably race 2-3more years maximum at WC level if I had to guess. Pro sports at that level are brutal, especially at an older age.
Really like to see these new press conferences, especially with downhill Southeast doing them as well. I think it provides great platform for riders personalities to show and get some broader perspective on the racing. Kinda like a formal wynTV
Downhill is The Main Event in MTB

You better be paying these riders for press interviews.
Hell yeah this is what we want. Thanks guys
Man I want so many people to win. Men: Pierron and Minaar; women: Vali and Ferguson. I can't wait! Lets go!! 💪🤘🔥
Great selection of riders with different points of view, good insights. Thanks for this.
Love this as an addition to the weekend - great characters for the first one, too. Keep them coming.
Good Luck to all athlets! And I can't await it's raceday 🙂 Hope for a great season!
Really enjoyed this. To see this every week would be great👍
Great to see a press conference! Keep this going. Now you just need a drive to survive type series to accompany the racing season and it could be a great formula
Dude putting on the French je nes se quois introducing Loic and Myriam lol
Looks like is from Quebec so french speaking here
Its great that there is this new content, just a shame I can't actually watch the final without paying for a sports channel that I wouldn't use otherwise.
press conference 🤔 great idea!!!👌
Love this! Great to hear from the riders :) even if the fox outfit doesn’t gain time as such if it’s more comfy for an individual it may mean a better race run indirectly. Certainly not everyone can pull that look off Tahnèe is the queen!
🎉go on Louise!!!! It looks a bit intense sat there!!!! Nothing but good vibes!!
Greg and Loic with the banter! lol.. Reece smirking when Greg laid it to Loic..
I love Greg’s “dad” shoes.
As someone else already wrote, these are really good questions.
More of this please.
Let's get the world's best salesman on the stage.. Chris Ball-sack, do you believe you have followed through on all your promises to UCI, the fans and the entire MTB world??
Very good interview and questions
If you haven't seen the detailed interviews of Greg's team change, check the detailed ones out. I feel like this question could be more unique and gone into something unique about how him being on Norco will change his outlook on his riding at Fort William.
seemed like they wanted him to regurgitate and recap for everyone who hasn't seen or heard news that were hiding under rocks. UCI seems a bit out of touch.
Please make this conference more professional with the production!
Who isnt watching in 2024 😂
No Vali Holl, no Charlie Hatton both who won the World Champs at Fort William last year!
Thought this would b3 shite... actually really good 👍 great stuff
I would take semi finals over this
You could put a table in front of the rider during the interview. As for the football interview, it will add more confort and professionalism
What's going on with the sound?!
I'm left with watch press conference or semis... can't aford the scam cost to watch the only sport I love and enjoy in the world, with some of the most incredible racers we have seen in this sport. WB and UCI you should be ashamed of destroying the fan base over the globe.
Good luck on saturday to whomever makes it.
Will Loics Kit glow in the dark? 😉
Bringing Sexy Back!!
Where can i See it live??
Apparently the junior and semi finals will be live streamed on YT but the pro races will be behind paywalls and it's fucking confusing as they were on gcn+ last yr. but apparently that shut down last nov. ..?? So I'm not sure any more...Discovery + in Europe?... anyone else weigh in....??
Ok so in USA you have to pay for the MAX streaming svc. . It's $10/ mo. For basic account with ads....for a short time that includes something called BR Sports which is what actually carries the races, no info on how long we get free BR Sports channel with a basic sub. But ......when it stops being free, it will be another $10 per mo.
I just signed up I'll quit it as soon as the season ends,
QUESTION: How do Americans watch Fort Bill DH race live???
It is broadcast on MAX with an add on called B/R Sports. I have read/heard that MAX has B/R Sports for a short time without having to actually add it. It will be included for a short time.
It's on Max
How about next press conference we hear from privateers too and Chris Ball and UCI representatives and take questions that actually challenge their decisions 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
the coverage for this event is abysmal can't find the qualification races anywhere
Do not retire Greg, f conformity and ageists. You are not old and you are dopeAF. I love seeing you show these kids up every year. Mtb lacks diversity, it is ageist, sexist, every ist. You are breaking that mold and you continue to be a leader of the sport. There are few leaders in mtb, i know you didnt choose that position, but you are it. Keep being dope.
You got me into mtb, and guess what, I’m still getting podiums at 42 and so are you!!! Lets keep riding.
Just goes to show the sport doesnt have a shelf life, only quitters do.
Santa Cruz lost big time getting rid of Greg. A true treasure and the knowledge he can bring to a team, even if not in a racing role is un measurable. Huge mistake from the "syndicate"
Canadian viewers are getting screwed with Flosports, please do better !!!
Pissed about it.
Was religiously following last year but will wait for the past reports this year.
Love how it took 6 minutes to acknowledge a female rider.
yea if we could get a better balance of interactions with the male and female riders. That would be great
I know it sucks but when you have 3 world champs on there it’s hard to not tunnel vision.
What’s up with accenting everyone’s name and every location and speaking normally in between? It really unnecessary and annoying.
It's such a shame Rob Warner or someone who loves the sport isn't conducting the interview.
The fact you have to read who is behind you, when they are who they are. Disappointing
Let them practice and stop talking to them
A press conference LMFAO, awesome.
For all of us who need to know where to watch this year ... apparently the jr and semi's (?) will be streamed on yt but. For the pro/ elite races you have to pay for the MAX streaming svc.
$10/mo. For basic account with ads....for a short time that includes something called BR Sports which actually carries the races, no info on how long we get free BR Sports channel with a basic sub. But ......when it stops being free, it will be another $10 per mo.
I just signed up will evaluate the production and organizers performance running the show this year and decide month to month whether ro keep it ..
