EWS Pietra Ligure Race Highlights | 2020 Vittoria Tires Enduro World Series Round 2

Round 2 of the 2020 Enduro World Series saw nothing but new trails awaiting our riders here in Pietra Ligure, we're due some fantastic racing. With few riders having an advantage of knowing the ground or trails from previous years, this is as close as you can get to a level playing field, which should make for some tight racing!

Just think that Jack Moir is really impressive how he switched from DH to EWS.

[@isaacduke9743]

Yeah. So did Sam Hill and he won three years in a row

[@georgegande1779]

So great seeing these guys and gals being able to get back to racing

[@judechandler5102]

Can we have more 'raw' footage? The music is great and all, but man, we here for the riding!

[@supptora]

If it helps Pink Bike are doing raw footage clips

[@judechandler5102]

I've said it before and I will say it again. This is what GMBN really desperately needed and if this partnership ends I will cry. Thank you and have a nice day.

[@will1603]

Is gmbn now the host of all the official ews content?

[@uci_mtbworldseries]

@@will1603 yes!

[@robbybeauchamp]

Amazing watching the bike handling skills these girls/guys have. Makes me want to expand my riding. Would love to see some live coverage. Maybe next season they'll work it out so we can watch live commentary like with road cycling and CX on GCN.

[@CM9999999999]

Jude Chandler No they have made it worse. Adverts all the way through and they are adding nothing to the show

Well done on putting this monster of a race together! Epic

[@chiccorocker]

Nice race, looking forward for finale. In better times I would definitely like to try these trails, it looks like a great place where to enjoy mountain biking.

[@paul83uk]

Great episode, and love your getting them out faster now with GMBN. I don't know how much COVID is affecting what you can bring us but would love to have a longer episode with more race day footage and detail about how the day went I was struggling to keep up with who was where after each stage.

[@CM9999999999]

Paul West This seasons coverage is way worse than last and the only change is GMBN. Sticking in repeats from earlier videos and far too many adverts

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback Paul! There is a bit of an affect on just how much can be done in one day, but the guys are being as thorough as possible and still getting them out to us super fast! We'll keep working on improvements though! Tune in for Finale this weekend 🤘

[@paul83uk]

@@gmbn Thanks for replying and thanks to the team for even covering this season - I think it's easy for us to forget how much effort it took for you guys to get coverage of this season! I thought the Finale episode was an improvement as well! We're just greedy and always want more! :)

[@dmw0lton21]

Always good to mix things up, catch riders off guard, set new challenges, push boundaries, love it!

[@gmbn]

Absolutely! Make sure to tune in for Finale this weekend!

[@danielfeary]

Great work to the team. Such a big improvment on the last episode. Music and mix were much improved. Camera angles, B roll shots, adding Neil to the commentary, and great to hear the sound of the bikes and tyres. Those complaining about the music still are probably referring to the flashback to last round at 0:58 ;)

[@gmbn]

Thanks Daniel, tune in for Finale this weekend!

[@sbanks91]

Great coverage. Cool to see what's happening in the pits as well.

[@gmbn]

More to come Benjamin! Tune in for Finale this weekend!

Great coverage of the race guys and girls... Top quality all round. :D

[@michaeltheodorakis9473]

Awesome to see the production quality is still Best in the Business. Thanks EWS and GMBN!!

[@CM9999999999]

Michael Theodorakis I think it’s worse than last year, reusing film from previous videos and endless adverts. Lots of coverage of the brands supply them with bikes but not of the winners

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching Michael! Chris there are certain difficulties around working in the current situation, but it's still exactly the same film/edit team trying to give you as thorough coverage as last time! The only thing that's changed is the extent of what can be done in a day at the race thanks to a certain pandemic.

[@CM9999999999]

Global Mountain Bike Network not sure how a pandemic affects why old film is reused and endless adverts are included

[@rayred74]

thanks for the great coverage

[@gmbn]

Our pleasure!

[@pheoix]

Pumped for daily being back from that elbow years. Feels like it was forever ago

[@malteasberg6737]

Great video. But did anyone else notice that they only sowed half of the results. They showed I think 3/6 (including final results) for the men and the same for the women. It seemed a bit rushed this video but still a lot of credit to the people making it

[@JamesRobertMTB]

I need to hit the gym 💪💪💪

[@sambarrett4754]

The videos are much better with less music, thanks, but could still go even less I reckon. The sound of tyres on dirt is a fundamental part of the mountain biking experience and much more exciting than any music can be

[@marciodja]

your coverage is amazing.. but the music is very bad..

[@cristobalmunoz9222]

Thanks for watching Droc!

[@noaarapovic2852]

hope threy are healty

[@casestudymtb]

Is there ever a point where we can expect to see live, turn by turn coverage of multiple (or even all) stages for ews? Something similar to dh coverage?

[@drumandbassob0007]

it would be good , even if they just did the 20 top riders and then when to the next stage

[@casestudymtb]

@@drumandbassob0007 totally, anything is better than nothing. After watching what they were able to do with audi nines this year its definitely changed my expectations for broadcasting.

[@gopipgo]

@@casestudymtb The logistics of doing that for a small film crew are immense. The DH world cups are on one single track, and so are easier to film, but still are nowhere near perfect. You never see the whole runs on those either, sometimes missing the first half of the track.

[@casestudymtb]

@@gopipgo I understand the challenges... doesn't mean I don't want to see it.

[@gmbn]

It's a great point and of course we all want to see as much action as possible from the races! Covid has definitely made it hard this year but of course, we've got future years to look forward to. The plan is to keep making longer form content bringing you as much info as possible, as fast as possible after an event. So in answer to your question, not soon, for some of the logistical problems and the sheer expense it would cost to have live feed cameras spread so far and wide across multiple hillsides, before employing people to operate them. But again, never say never!

[@jdavis417]

11:30 Please tell me that sound isn't what I think it is! :..(

[@benshapiroisgay]

Where’s rude?

[@warufuz4ke]

livestreams when? :)

[@gmbn]

Unfortunately there is no live stream of EWS events. There are live headlines on the EWS Website, but no video stream due to the nature of the event. These are the official race highlights :)

[@danielschipper]

Sorry GMBN but I preferred the PinkBike coverage last year. In an 18 minutes highlights package I don't want to see a recap of the last race or replays of the stage reviews. I can watch those as seperate videos if I want. The 18-20 minute highlights package needs to be fully focused on the race, perhaps have an extended package that goes out to 30 minutes with this extra stuff in it but as is we're getting less than 10 minutes of original race day content. Also way too many adds played in KZbin, every couple of minutes, and just randomly thrown in. Make me watch a few at the start and then a few in the middle at a decent break point. I love EWS and am a fan of GMBN but you need to do better.

[@andyfoote6255]

came here to say the same. It feels like it is following RedBull's lead and catering more for a general audience. The new format might be better for new followers of the sport, but I agree with Daniel, the old format was better, and the ad breaks really broke the flow.

[@milesmason3234]

Run an adblocker. KZbin are trying hard to force everyone onto Premium now.

[@gmbn]

Thanks for the feedback Daniel, it's the same presenter/edit team as previous years, so we'll feedback :)

[@rafaelabrahams4632]

can we have the riders full names on the results please

[@Martytheman92]

If anyone sees this comment, where can I watch EWS live? I'm in the USA.

[@gmbn]

Nowhere M L :) You can watch the official coverage with us :)

[@chestnutmovie]

Does anyone know the name of the song which plays at 14:10? thx in advance :)

[@alexanderwill6012]

You can look on an other video about its listed there

[@johnkenney7171]

an ad, 1 minute in...what next, click bait?

[@alancrocker9086]

This is what down hill used to like, quite a few years back.

[@dylanandersonmtb7341]

please change the music back to the same kind of music that pink bike used, don't like the song at the start of this video, and the same song was used in the round 1 video

[@gmbn]

That's because it's a clip to catch us up with what happened at round 1, the EWS edit team changed the music dramatically for this one after all the feedback :)

[@NadeemVlogs]

Nice Job Brother. #nadeemvlogs

Jack moir looked like he has no neck, every time he comes by it looks like he is shrugging

[@simonwenzowski9148]

I love watching EWS highlights but the repetitive rock riff is SUPER annoying and way too loud. Just use raw footage or switch up the music damn I don't know why it makes me so angry.

[@cupidstunt1975]

Too many Goddamn adverts. 🤬🤬🤬

[@MarkJolley]

All of these results are tainted since they aren't allowing Americans to compete. Richie Rude would be in the lead.

[@gmbn]

'Tainted' is a strong word, takes away from the individual achievement too much. But you're right in the sense that athletes aren't able to make it for extenuating circumstances, that's the main reason there's no individual championships up for grabs this year, so that no one can claim an overall title in a short series with certain countries' athletes not able to participate.

[@MarkJolley]

@@gmbn I wasn't aware that they weren't awarding an individual championship. It also brings up the issue of teams that have americans on them like yeti.

[@javisst44]

Interesting choice of words two days in a row. Calling it unpleasant every time a bit of cardio is needed!? 🤣 Don't you leave the sofa outside of this coverage?

[@garybrown5769]
