Anyone else enjoy the larger team?

Probably cost prohibitive to do this regularly, but I thought it brought a more interesting commentary.

Thoughts?

I think it's pretty neat. I like the experimentation aspect, too. Just trying stuff is often good.

Loved it.

RC & James being in the booth together provided excellent commentary and background. As I’ve said, before, the other guy I’d like to see in there with them is MC.

I thought it was great. James is a fantastic addition. And he makes RC better imho.

screech lol. 

weigandt yes. the rest, no, just a distraction. especially the nascar guy. F1 doesn't have to do this to generate interest, it's unbecoming. 

3 in the booth is cool when it's an active rider thats a clear 3rd chair and can give relevant current insight. colt nichols was great. otherwise, the yuk yuks get real old.

Weege accepts payment in mountain bike parts, coupons, and Fly Gear, so he doesn't cost Feld much...

I liked the actual people that had in, but the coverage needs fewer people with microphones, not more, in my opinion.

 

As has been said at various times and in various ways: call the race. You don't need 4 (last night 6?) voices to do that, and you don't need to do these pre-prepared stories all the time during live action. You'd think for 15 mins and 20 minute blocks out of a 180-minute show they could just call. the. race.

Bring back Jim Holley for RDL. Replace Diffey with Emig or James. Put will out to pasture, I don't know what she even brings to the table. Outdoors was great with Weege and Langston with JT doing podiums. That's my 2 cents.

Did I hear RC say “Chase has got to quit making the same mistakes over and over!  James, you should know better than”…and his voice kinda trails off, realizing too late the pile of s**t he just stepped in…
