With Rob, Elliot and Red Bull behind it, this is gonna be a huge year for Crankworx.

[@RedBullBike]

Bigger and better than ever before!

[@hobmarg]

@@RedBullBike super stoked for the Whistler event on the new 1199 Stevie Smith track. Will be trying to attend in person!

[@atraildog]

Rob n Elliot are back, love it! Congratulations Neko to a great season start.

[@rualert1602]

I love Elliot Jackson. Glad he's back.

[@blake253]

Best of luck to all the competitors!

[@markgolding8946]

So good to have racing back

[@Fantic156]

Fabulous racing, and coverage. Rob, you're a diamond .. Elliott, you're pretty damn good too .. always inciteful, love hearing it from you two who've been there and done it 'cos you see stuff us mortals don't, and long may you both continue! Thanks so much .. 😜

[@SUBBETABLINKA]

Endlich wieder Action!!!!

[@slothsloth4651]

Thank you to whoever is responsible for the video. Feeling grateful for it.

[@0harris0]

sick race broadcast, commentary, and the RIDING was amazing!! ty Red Bull!! 😌 the Mullaly gap was one of the highlights 👌👌

[@duncanh6045]

I would like to watch Rob and Elliot compete in a Dual Slalom race

[@RedBullBike]

Now that's an idea 🤔

​@@RedBullBike both of them on yr 2000 Giant ATX1 DH bikes please thankyou please 😂

Yet again super Bruni shows us why he is the greatest Dh racer on the planet you’ve got planet the Emil Johansson Just next to him you’ve got planet Bruni A big shout out to Jenna Hastings She got lucky on that big jump coming up next week speed and style and slope style and the crazy world of urban downhill what a Time to be alive what a weekend we have installed

[@-TheRealChris]

Awesome coverage, I don't think I've ever seen this meany cameras covering a track, and of course the best commentary team!

[@michaelallennz]

it the first time thay have broadcast from so far in the State Forest i was there as it the forest i ride in all the time long with big nz names it a long way in i done a trail that start at the top where the dh start

[@jokermtb]

Nothing like Elliot, TRacy and Rob for keeping the race fun.... and that Jenna Hastings near-endo dead sailor over the big jump was incredible....

[@5DEV]

Neko crushing at 1:10:59 What a run! Bike check at 59:43

[@wjtyz450]

Smashing!!

[@hucknroll6723]

Sending it!!

[@denisrogers4358]

Neko rules ! and FTW built.

[@speedpilot]

Thank you RedBull for featuring such a great event :)

[@carnsoaks1]

As a Redbull Sportsman, I think it's almost imperative for riders like Loic to come to as many Redbull Televised events as possible. Sure, he has his own goals, but we are gonnamiss the RB coverage of WCMTB. Show the UCI what they lost by selling out to Disney Plus or whoever bought mtb.

[@Get0nMyLvL]

Thx for Replay, Red Bull!!!

[@MTB4loamer]

Great event. Rob & Elliot back! Red Bull awesome

[@MtbAddict109]

The legend of Sik Mik lives on.

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome epik video 🤘🤘🤘

[@MxCraven]

Great to hear the boys back in the booth, but why did you get rid of Tracey for the mens half?! She's amazing at picking out the lines, and is always the first to spot when someone is slightly off line

[@jakelesnake]

Is this your first time watching? Tracy always does the women's racing and Claudio does the men's, Rob is the show runner/host, Elliot is basically a correspondent

[@MxCraven]

@@jakelesnake I know, but this time they didn't bring in Claudio. They just said bye to Tracey.

[@carnsoaks1]

Yeah, she was a proper addition. Eurosport had a bird commentate on one of the Belgian Pro Roads the other day. Different. Awesome.

[@TeddyParker]

@@MxCraven kinda funny none of you are noticing... this is Crankworx. I don't think Claudio has ever worked a Crankworx. I'm not sure if Rob has done any. The reason the typical 'world cup' booth is on for Crankworx is they were basically sacked off by Discovery. And are therefore working other Red Bull events now. I doubt we see Claudio in any Crankworx booth, unless they do one close to him in the EU maybe? If anything it was weird to have a 3 person booth with Eliot for the ladies. I'd prefer the typical Rob n Trace for ladies then Rob n Eliot for dudes...

[@MtbAddict109]

Tracey is a specialist on women's racing. Elliot couldn't get a word in when Tracey was there.

[@fullsendmountainbiker5844]

🤙 great stuff

[@katrinahase]

"Philocity At Will" needs to stick. Also loving "Gnarly Mulally". New Crankworx fan-happy to hear Rob, Elliot and Hannah!

[@richardkranium5557]

That was fun!🎉

Awesome

Saudades desse ambiente de descontração à noite! Belos noturnos fiz na Arrábida!

[@KptnHaddock_]

And it has begun! As always thank you so much for throwing this up on KZbin. Let the season begin!

[@voydnaught1397]

As good, if not better, than WCDH racing. Gnarly track, pinned riding and awesome coverage and commentating. Can't wait for more.

[@Mockle07]

lol but fewer than half the elite riders… it’s good, but it’s not World Cup good!

[@ryanj9245]

I love that we got Rob back for this!

Neko!!!🔥🔥🔥

Logic only came to see the rob Warner master class 😂 big fan

yes! its back on youtube - this is almost as good as DH uci world series, with some of the same riders!

Neko!

[@howardjones8629]

Yes yes yes! 🎉

[@mtbalpinecounty]

The Boys are Back!..

[@benjy288]

That bike at 30:20 isn't a trail bike, its a Norco Range, which is a 170mm enduro bike, its only about 30mm less travel than a downhill bike, I just rode that track a week ago on a 120mm Norco Fluid FS1, obviously no where near as fast.

[@-TheRealChris]

It's not a just a difference in travel though, geo on downhill bikes is still very different to even the most aggressive enduro bikes.

[@benjy288]

@@-TheRealChris Its actually pretty close, enduro bikes have now basically turned into shorter travel downhill bikes, norco's downhill bike is only half a degree slacker than an extra large norco range, plus the extra large range actually has a 64mm longer wheelbase too

[@brokenlegz]

@@benjy288 1332mm for Norco shore park and 1329mm for Norco range. Both head tube angle is 63

Please fix. Audio track is messed up. The countdown timer was removed and now the audio is shifted. Thank you.

[@Chip_in]

Lovely...chur rbtv⛳

[@McSchwabl]

Amazing series, but please improve the timing. We need more than one split and also something like a key section would be great

[@bigspear4358]

I think they only do that for the main downhill series, this is crankworx tour

[@McSchwabl]

@@bigspear4358 there ain’t no downhill World Cup on Redbull anymore, so for them it’s the main series

[@bigspear4358]

@@McSchwabl Yeah its discovery now but im pretty certain i heard it was still gonna be streamed on redbull

[@expozure_in_the_elements]

Vestavik didnt compete in this competition?

[@barryf1966]

“Look at the time “

[@kylelongstaff]

i still cant comprehend how Loic went fastest the run looked so slow in comparison to others... i guess he just carried flow better.

[@Wake_Up13]

Forgive my ignorance, im new to the sport. Why does the time always pop up showing a minute when they have clearly only been riding for 10-15 sec? Any clarification on this would be great

[@-TheRealChris]

It all just depends where they can place cameras, how long the track is and what the starting gap is between riders, the start gate camera and some of the higher up ones are delayed a bit to make it flow so your not seeing a start and then (in this case about a min) nothing or missing out on some of a riders run because the rider before hasn't finished yet. So in other words the finish line camera is always true live while some higher up cameras are not quite live.

[@paulmakesthings]

There's a large piece of the track that you don't see

[@DUJSO]

11:41 who is this smiling girl?? blondie 😍

[@augu_3st613]

I literally buy redbulls before rides just to support them and everything they do for the sport.

[@webrappin3314]

Gutted for bruni .he is no longer sponsored by fox clothing .the helmet is is now wearing looks terrible

[@bobbydebobadibob1261]

Is there any way to get Tracy Hannah to STOP beginning here sentences with "...I mean" ...unless she's clearing up a point she fluffed in a previous sentence

[@user-iz7po9ps3m]

If only the commentators would put effort into learning how to pronounce riders names CORRECTLY!!!!!! Aue...........

[@RomanRicardoPota]

Amazing to have Rob & Elliot back! @Red Bull Bike would it be possible to bump up the quality for the replay to 4K?
