A few videos for the mountain bikers, who like me never get to see any televised coverage of the MTB World Cup races. These three videos give highlights of the mens and womens races from rounds four five and six.
Thats a good point that you make here Jez.... Cycling covers such a wide spectrum of various disciplines- its a pity that more of that spectrum isn't given the TV coverage it deserves....
I can kind of understand why this is as there are so many great sports fighting for some kind of coverage. That and unlike road cycling is harder to get good tv footage for.
Perhaps more Tv time could be given to these sports if there was less football on?.......I await a back lash on that point!
