First episode shown on Eurosport/TNT last Friday but also then being released as 8x weekly episodes on the UCI MTB Youtube channel every Monday.

I've been completely out of touch with it this year with lack of coverage/knowing where to find it, so looking forward to this:

I think like WRC coverage, the length of the races (distance and time) must make filming and broadcasting quite an undertaking so I'm interested to watch the first episode or two tonight.

If it’s going to be on their YouTube then I’ll watch it. I really liked the Redbull series as well as the TDF one. And the Netflix one on the sprinters

It's on the YT... just haven't got to it yet. 

I'd heard they were doing a series but seems a shame it's so far behind the action. But then maybe that's intentional to fill in the off-season.

Watched ep1 last night, pretty good despite the inevitable Ric hyperbole.

I think they wait until after the season to do it so that they can decide on a narrative, and know which riders to focus on in the profiles at the start.

Sadly he's become the face and voice of this unfortunate Warner brothers experiment. I used to enjoy his voiceover on EWS coverage but now find him completely unwatchable

Ep1 was a bit dull but hopefully future episodes will include more race coverage. Shame they couldn't get it during the season to build interest.

The first episode was a good warm-up/intro so I'll be giving the rest a good go, I think that it's probably a deliberate delay to prolong UCI/WBD programming views another month or so into the off-season probably before it all falls off a cliff until Rd1 is tangibly close.
