Most Red Bull events will have replay available soon after. I assume this one will as well.

Internet TV, no network. What a concept.
I'm not a fan of internet TV cause, well, my only unlimited option is a pretty weak old aircard USB stick. So its ok for watching things like this but that's about it. But I know I'm in the minority though more people have spotty internet than the the world thinks these days.

Still, most hard enduros are super long so it's cool to be able to see 111 Megawatt and Erzberg live in it's entirety.

It would never happen but I wish somehow they could get the same full coverage of Romaniacs but that's like the Prologue (which is live) but the 4 9 hour days thru insanely long routes.

My favorite race by far, though.

On board with Taddy at 111 Megawatt qualifying. This is the more MX part of qualifying. Probably the tamest terrain these guys will face all year. At least THIS section. Wink

Just realized both Cody and Colton didn’t fly over for this one, I guess they’re both out of points due to crashes and dnfs so they’re just focusing on endurocross here in the states.

I was disappointed with the lack of commentary. The Erzberg presentation was great. This lacked due to no commentary.

Ouch, that dnf will really hurt Jonny. Trying to find out more info.

Wade's on a tear!

Jonny Walker broke a wrist.

Yeah the live coverage was lousy but the highlights video is fantastic. Some really good footage of some frantic racing.

Saw Walker was on a 4-stroke during qualifying. Have never seen him on a 4 stroke. Curious if this is a permanent switch or just a one off for this race?

It's not super uncommon for a few of the riders to switch to a four stroke for some of the less extreme events. Jarvis was on a four stroke for The Tough One. But I would imagine that when it gets real extreme such as Erzberg, Romaniacs, etc Jonny will be back on his 300 two stroke.
