Such a brilliant video! Eliot has a way of making the riders seem....really human, yet pro racers. And he knows it from the inside. I'm not a total anorak in the world of DH, but I think Eliot finds that line of talking to everybody in the audience from n00bs to the hard core followers. I like his style, seems to make the riders relax and enjoy being interviewed. Great editing too.

Amen. His commentary with Rob Warner during races is not bad. I like Claudio, but lately he has said some weird shit. Hopefully Eliot gets back in the box with Rob more often!

I like the feel of the editing, music and humour and humble refreshing take. Awesome coverage!

Eliot is such a joy to watch in front of the cam. Great natural personality

Miss seeing his riding videos too, such a smooth big mountain style. Suppose he's busy being behind the mic. Brendog, Ratboy and Eliot are among my favorite riders to watch fool around on the bike.

Kinda creepy how everyone is standing so still in the background of the interview with Laurie Greenland. It's like someone accidentally hit pause on the ~~simulation~~

Based on the feedback from the riders this track is really unpredictable and tricky, which is cool because we might see a real darkhorse take the win!

Great video! but you're telling me were not going to hear Claudio IN SWITZERLAND!?

Prime edit on the video - loved the cuts and the music choice.

High quality edit that, better than anything from the previous weekend - which is kind of odd.

This man is useless and never see him on a bike.

He's got loads of riding videos would take no effort to find one and he absolutely kills it. Raced World Cup for years

retrobobi (Oct 15, 2021 at 22:45)

@mobiller: "kills it" well 45 races and no top ten..... Sry but Claudio is more understandable when he speaks and have a better analize of the race. Let Elliot interview racer with his good mind and cool attitude but not to comment the races

Eliot seems like a nice guy, but I wish he would take a course with a professional commentator. Constant giggling and "Whaaaat?!?!" C'mon dude, offer some proper insights into their bike setup or training techniques.

It's called having a personality, chill out with the negativity.
