He knows the sport and the athletes, has this kind of "neutral vibe" that so many good presenters have, and seems to be very good with words in front of a camera. On the other side, I think the sport is lacking glamour, a well-developed storyline, and REACH, I don't see how a paywall, not paying the athletes, and being eurocentric is going to help. I have watched DH WC with many non-mtb friends and they got it right away. look at the most popular sport (soccer, tennis, road cycling.). We have been told forever we need to make the sport more spectacular but come on. Their assumption is that the sport is not engaging enough and hard to understand and they want to bring tons of tech-infography, and drone footage. I think Discovery is trying to fix lots of problems that do not exist. So far I might just watch the free content on Youtube if I'm not blown away by the show. With all due respect, I have a hard time with Ric charisma for somebody who is supposed to be the sport's face. ![]() (BTW, something might have happened with Rob Warner and ESO because CG is the proof that it was possible to transition from Red Bull to Discovery) It was more on pair with the free caster era than a more tech-savvy and polished era. He might need to be groomed, his commentary was heavily biased toward supporting the french riders and his old teammates. CG is a great character, he was already commenting in french the Worlcup on Red bull. ![]()
