    So what's the latest on Freecaster? Do we get to hear Rob Warner again? "Looook at the TIME!"

    Unfortunately I think Freecaster is out for 2012. UCI & redbull.tv have partnered to broadcast live on the net. The good news is they are adding 2 more cameras than Freecaster had. The bad news, Rob Warner may not be involved.

    Where have you seen that confirmed?

    I know there was talks of Redbull taking over internet broadcast in Dec and and expected announcement shortly after but never saw any announcement.

    I'm pretty sure it was on vital MTB. At least I thought it was official. I'll see if I can find the press release & link to it.

    http://m.vitalmtb.com/news/news/Bre...012-World-Cups-DH1-Series-Likely-Cancelled,40

    You're right - it isn't official. They did say its 99.9% done though.

    SWEEEET! And, this is the icing on the cake...

    "Quote Warner's twitter: "Sorry couldn't say before but I'm really pleased to say I am lucky enough to be commentating on the world cup again!! BA BOOM!"

    Let's get ready to sit on our couches, drink and yell!

    Red Bull, huh? Joining the Athertons in the battle of so-called "energy" drinks. I hear Steve Peat is now sponsored by Folgers. "The best part of waking up..."
