Considering they said they aimed to broadcast EDR stages live over 3 years ago and looking what's happened since I take anything they say with a huge pinch of salt.
Hate what they’ve done to the EWS (or EDR). I’ve been to loads of mtb events over the years and thought the Tweed Valley EWS was the best of the lot. Great day following the race around, good atmosphere and felt more involving than a DH WC. It isn’t a broadcast-able discipline, instead a solid race overview/highlights (similar to before) works for me.
