Not trying to be a MAVTV shill since I have no affiliation with them but they finally delivered the content we expected. Zero commercials during the racing and a clear stream. This is based off their website and not the app. Not sure how the app worked, hopefully just as well!

You can pause. And play and it will play from the paused position. But if u leave it for more then a small amount of time. Maybe 30seconds- 3 mins. When u press play it will refresh back to live. You cannot rewind.

That’s the way the App works too.

Driving your car, or truck, from lower altitudes to high mountains can easily have you dealing with brake issues.
Once coming back from Leadville, even using the gears, had me with very little brake pedal coming down into Denver.

I don't think Eli is at 100% yet physically or mentally. The knee plays in your mind for some time after you hurt it and I think he is still working back to race shape...for his level.

Expect to see him just keep getting better and better as the series moves on.

I saw a lot of different techniques in regard to rear brake usage. Some came in hot on the small jumps and landed with the rear brake on. Some approached slower but we're on the gas on the downsides. The speeds thru the sections were very similar just different techniques.

Some pros drag the rear brake in different situations to help with stability.

Eli did say brake 'fade'...so he didn't lose his rear brake. I think he had just had enough at the moment and decided to save it for another day. You could tell he was pushing the edge on all those pass attempts.

If he had easily passed Kenny I bet he would have had a run at Chase before the end.
