I got this from Neflix. It's just like Earthed 3. Another mountain bike movie focused on downhill racing and 4X. If you like this sort of thing, it's a good video. But how many times do you need to see Steve Peat fly through a muddy forest?
It's a question for all sports. Let's say you've seen several basketball games. 5, 10, 100.... Why would you watch another one? They're pretty much the same. Same with mountain bike races - except, in bike racing the terrain varies. Most sports are done in stadiums that are as identical as possible.
The thing the videos lack is the narrative. Often the interesting thing in a football game is the question of who will win. The videos just show amazing riding, they don't get you into the story of how the races unfold.
The road racing season is almost over. Paris Tours was on TV yesterday. I recorded it but haven't watched it yet. The Tour of Lombardy must be soon. Our leaves changed colors about 2 weeks early this year, I wonder about the leaves in central Italy. Usually they're mostly gone for that race.
