It’s Semi-Finals time! Downhill has received some revisions to the format this year, including the addition of a semi-final round! Riders now have 3 opportunities to earn points towards their overall score, qualification, semi-finals and finals. Points scale progressively so riders will still be putting it all on the line come the finals! We’re live streaming the elite semi-finals right here on GMBN Youtube, but for the elite finals, make sure you’re subscribed to GCN+ in order to watch.

I've just spend the last 15 minutes trying to login / create an account for GCN plus and it's just not working. Keeps saying there was an error logging in. Have tried all avenues……..
Poor commentary.. get Warner back!
I missed it
Team Aussie 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙
Horrible camera work! Odd commentary.
this coverage sucks. you think im going to pay to watch this garbage. there is no foogtage at all in the sections the race was decided in. this company blows. you can paint a turd gold but it is still a turd. this sucks for downhill. those stupid pads all over the track look dumd and the yellow nets are horrible. its visually unappealing to look at. none of that matters because the footage sucks
Not the same without rob Warner
THIS IS A BULLSHIT , PAY FOR WATCH THE FINALS ??????? COME BACK REDBULLL
its great watching the ski lift during runs. no camera where the race was decided and they film the ski lift during runs. this coverage is trash
and where are the chainsaws. the crown has no energy. dicovery sucks. period. this broadcast is flat. hot garbage. no excitement at all. the worst thing that has ever happened to mountain biking. thanks redbull you sellouts.
what sadness redbull is gone. Its like moving into a smaller and shittier appartment.
Where is the final live coverage????
Que vuelva redbull…
I've never understood why they cant just have cameras on the whole run. Seems like everyone is having problems in areas we just don't get to see. DH might be the coolest cyclesport but worst one to try and follow/watch.
What happened to LEGEND WARNER ????
Terrible commentary 🤦♂️
Is it me or are some camera's out of sequence?
Watching the guy watch the iPad instead of Loics footage was riveting 😢. I was holding out until I seen how the coverage was going to be before signing up to GCN+, no regrets as this needs to improve greatly before I sign up. I don't mind paying for race coverage, but not paying for poor coverage. Expected alot more from a company like Discovery.
Complete garbage. You get like 10 seconds of a run. You guys are going to ruin the sport of downhill racing if this shit keeps up.
Low energy low T Wimbledon tier commentary. Horrible
Yea this was pretty awful, camera angles and zoom was all over the place, bits of run overlapping between cameras, whole bits missing with bits of stock footage instead, cameras wizzing around not filming anything, clearly no communication between the TV truck and the commentary, cant see the split times properly because they are too small and the see though red and green highlight was almost impossible to see.
I'm sure they will get better at it and I appreciate that the junior racing is now shown as its a huge help to them sponsor wise ect and its good racing but at this stage it's def not worth paying the large fee for a subscription to watch the finals imo (yes i realize it's the cost of 3 cups of coffee a month but there are a lot of us who can not afford and do not buy take away coffee)
Rob Warner IS the quintessential mountain biking culture, but hey, they could always get Phil Liggett, Mountain biking was to get AWAY from road culture!
That’s some sloppy camera work for a pro event
Jesus fucking Christ trying to watch this on discovery or anything is awful this sucks
What are the redundancies on timing? Surely we're not relying solely on a timing chip that is on the bike and can be damaged/lost? There is no basic computer system that only does start and finish?
Warner + Garcia.i think will be the best
When did Red Bull lose the bid to broadcast the UCI WC DH?
Is this the same footage that would be on paid for gcn+ ? Or has it been chopped up for YouTube? The junior finals weren’t like this on here
Shit commentary, poor coverage, no elite finals…..bring back Red bull TV. This season is going to lose so many fans
We want Warner !!! We Want Warner !!!
Well done great coverage and commentary, haters gona hate no matter what.
UCI has killed this sport with their greed.
When is the full final up ??
Not 100% on this atm half way through a run and it cuts to a gondola shot for 3 minutes I don't want to watch a gondola
Total disappointment without the Legendary ROB…..its actually boring without Rob.
Greg Minnaar 44:34 , Forced deflated for not following the line in a key jump. The management of the team should look at it
So strange that everyone seems to be here for Rob and not the racing. And nobody seems to be embarrassed by that.
Earlier videos showing all the off camber tech and rock and root sections. Those were the interesting sections and not a shot of any of them. Weak!
Guys Warner is not comming back stop crying and move on
Where can I find the finals (Men & Women)?
How do I watch the mens and womens finals replays? Like I used to with ease on redbull tv !!
No relationship with the racers. No-one with their helmet off. Never saw the hotseat reactions.
Still not telling us how many to go, or their quali. times. Or what 'protected rider' means, how many there are, or when someone will stop being protected.
Watched every Race in the Past but thats a step back… Bad Kommentators and Not the Same Vibe. 2 Pennys are still to much for this….
Not paying GCN for seeing this sub-optimal downhill viewing. Glad to hear Cedric's voice at least. But c'mon guys the camera work was amateurish. Moi Moi TV can do it better with a much lower budget. Our sport will lose a lot of followers if this is going to be the standard for the year.
Feeling pissed-off
Them cow bells should be banned. So nippy to listen too
Tubeless tyres are rubbish.
