Great race, great athletes, great venue! I support this format, here are my takeaways: 1) whole race I was watching just the head of the race, the broadcast should cover much more of the rest of the field and not focus only on the top 3 racers for 3 hours straight 😮. 2) why not share any interesting data obout the racers during the race? Heart rate, RPM, cadence, etc. If that is possible that would be amazing! 3) interviews during the race are great spice imho, more of them please. See you next time!🤙
Less RU-vid dedication for Sam Long is clearly working. Has his priorities straight as a professional athlete. I saw Talbot running next to Sam so expect a killer vid soon 🙏
Appreciate the Pre-Race Videos, Race Broadcast & Highlights very much.👏👍 However, there are lots of Broadcast improvements needed by T100/ PTO and also Ironman. It's consistent across both organizations TOO many Voices / Commentators (Why do all sports broadcasters do that? - Quality over Quantity) - they end up competing for airtime and the Race Action is drowned out - BTW Rick Allen is a keeper experienced voice - just needs coordination with a Director & smaller "supporting cast" NO Connection between Audio to Video - NEED a DIRECTOR - The chatter is non-stop yet things are happening in the race that are lost NO Connection to Competitors changing positions - NEED Director - happens TOO many times Don’t Leave it up to Commentators - they are chatting too much NOT focused on the race / course / video NO Position List beyond Top 10 - WHY NOT - there's only 20 starters - pls show the full list at least every 15mins or so Comments are WAY TOO long - missing on track action - max 30 sec comments - STOP the long winded comments, overly focused on only a few Jan obviously knows his stuff but all the other commentators defer to him too much or just want to talk to him during the race = Star Struck They didn’t know who a number of other competitors were - Read numbers on Helmets - Need spotter or DIRECTOR to help them Only talking about Top 3 or 4 racers - what about the other 16 competitors? Should give update every 15mins or so of the entire field - All Contracted MORE Split screens - at Transition & other times - NOT just leaders - everyone Rotate video among Riders - ie; @ technical turns - at least top 10 every 15 mins or so Keeping certain Graphics Up TOO Long ie; T1 stats got stuck Graphics should indicate a Rider who has been lapped, dropped out LOST Audio on RU-vid Feed 🙄 NO regular updates on who dropped out & why - Graphic? Family & Friends of racers higher than top 10 did not know where they were because it was never shown on screen - Why? Provide Athletes a Position / Timing board so they can see where they are - should not be hidden or a mystery or rely on a spectator / family member MORE Mobile Camera(s) - Motorcycle, E-Bikes & Drone(s) Athlete Thumbnails are very helpful Again, appreciate the Broadcast and all the supporting Videos especially on RU-vid - Just would like to see the live Broadcast match the excellence of the competitors.
The amount of trash talking about Sam Long during the bike leg was just so disrespectful. Who are these commentators? Be respectful and professional, take your job serious. Sam Long destroyed the competition, massive performance.
