Really wish PB or Red Bull would get DH and Enduro world cup back, the coverage was so much better than GMBN/Discovery media.

So much better than the same video by UCI. Of course it would be.

[mattpeters]

I know Ben is a family man. But was he trying not to wake the kids? He was so softly spoken in this video 😂

[CineMilledUSA]

[chimpsgimps]

That being said. How’s your back?

[jamieroberts]

Wish it was Saturday so the southern hemisphere could watch it live without taking Monday off work

[fiedlertimify]

Ben Cathro doubles the entertainment value of DH

[Nick-pqij]

Whilst I agree that DH should be/is the main show, I enjoyed it on Saturday last year, hard to watch at 1am Monday morning here in Aus!

[havenwisner]

1. dh racing at this lvl and bike performace has become 50/50 podium or career ending injury.
2. i know it is dh racing an i love it
3. the most talented and inspiring riders are injured for seasons or dont race at all.
4. at this lvl we need some new safety regulations....motogp airbag suits ?! 😆
5. bring back Rob + Cathro as commentator !!!!
