Are there any Mountain Bike World Championships free streams?
The event organisers, the UCI, is providing free live streaming of the Mountain Bike World Championships on its YouTube channel. All the Downhill races this weekend are being streamed live and for free.
The YouTube feed is geo-restricted, so will not be available in those countries that have a TV broadcast deal in place, which includes the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. The UCI has a full list of territories that are excluded, with everywhere else free to watch the feed.

Watch Mountain Bike World Championships from anywhere
Travelling outside your home country doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the Mountain Bike World Championships. Assistance is on hand in the form of a VPN.
