Kicking off the first-ever UCI Mountain Bike World Cup with a bang. Maydena, Tasmania delivered a true rollercoaster of a race.
Three days of baking sun dried out the stages that weaved themselves through the Tasmanian jungle, leading to some incredible racing conditions. The riders were pushed to their limits and beyond as they battled against the clock with many of the world’s best becoming unstuck in the process.

Great Job! Please can you increase the font size of the riders name? Tricky to see
The map a the begin is fucking awfull
This is awesome didn’t know they had professional MTB
Much improved coverage from last year! So much more riding and covering the top 10 instead of just the top 3. Loved it!
Great video. I like the side by side comparison of riders on the rail, is also cool. What a tight race!! Super impressed by Vali, and of course Isabeau. Wow!
Great Video editing and quality 🔥
Always a good show, my favourite discipline, but… I follow ews since almost the beginning and year after year is becoming a mini downhill. I think it should keep it's specificity, trying to put some pedaling section in every ps like the past, saving the Enduro spirit. Maybe it would be good to save them some climbing during transfer. In this actual way is obvious that downhill racers have advantage. So, I hope it will not became a downhill sort of clone.
Awesome🤘🏿
What's the point of interviewing guys with a helmet on directly after a stage…especially if they are not native speakers. I don't understand a word.
So exciting! Congrats to the new guys on top this round. Stellar coverage too. Great season start.
This is going to be one interesting season. It will be hard to keep track of the standings of the actual Enduro racers for a while.
Luke popping off this year. I'm impressed how fast you progressed man
Great coverage team, a step up from last year, much appreciated. Keep bringing the detail and in depth coverage and commentary, I’m sure I wrote for all of us fans when I say we want to hear about the whole of the top ten and more.
And sooner 😉
so who had the steeziest finish on that big booter. I vote either Noga Korem's sui no hander or Ritchie Rude's ET.
Great video!!!👏🏽 Wouldn't mind 45min 😊
Terrific highlight reel!
Top vid! Be even better if you could get it out on time for the future rounds though. It's not like WB and Discovery are short of resources for you!
Ripping video. Great racing. Love Maydena
Can we get some animations and red and green arrows on the leaderboard at the end of each stage. Would make it much easier to follow who's moving up and down positions rather than trying to remember who was there before!
Great highlights and well done to Ryan G!
where is sam hill?
great vid, great race, great place
Great video… but the trail mapping could use some work
Curious What stages did they ride up? And how many feet/meters climbing?
Big step up in coverage guys!
Music at 1st minute??
What a race 🎉❤
I don't get this. I love watching enduro (albeit still a "newcomer"), but you get no sense of each individual trail, no sense of the splits and times during each trail. It's just loads of clips that could essentially all be from the same trail. It's obv super nice to be able to compare the lines with the split screens, but you can definitely do with more "show, don't tell". And also, get drones please!
Would be great to have some extended highlights
Great highlights package.
This is going to be a belter of a season 🤘
Missing the post stage quick thoughts from the riders but overall good coverage!
LOL, loved the guy cheering with the chainsaw. Unique for sure.
Love the new coverage guys. You’re showing more racing by more athletes (not just the top handful)…
My only complaint? That graphic you guys made to show the mountain/stages sucks. Like badly. Not a very good execution for what you’re trying to provide us with.
Thanks for a great video. Would be great to include a little info about the liaisons (length) because it’s pretty fascinating to understand how many km these guys are pedalling over the day.
And not sure about the split screen rider comparison – impossible to watch both unless it’s in slow mo. Thanks again,
Best enduro highlights for years, nice job!
How sad is it that all elite downhill for 23/24 is pay per view! From free on redbull TV to paying for it. Sad times in the UCI. I’ll not watch it now that pisses me off.
Not only are we getting ripped off by bike shops for the price off components, compared to how much the manufacturer make them for. When the ratings fall and the stars don’t get there money, hard lines 👊
