Warner Bros. Discovery was named by the International Cycling Union (UCI) for promote the sport of mountain biking in an eight-year agreement. Warner Bros. Discovery will combine its vast resources and expertise, including Discovery Sports Events and ESO Sports, to elevate mountain biking and reach a global audience.
A few days ago, on the Eurosport official website, a video has been released where UCI president and EWS / ESO CEO Chris Ball can be seen talking about future projects. All in a virtual studio in full “modern sport” style, which we are not used to with the world of mountain biking.
Will all this “light” ruin the genuine environment of MTB or will it lead to a notable raising of both the technical and media level? Only time will tell.
