Huge race for the Lifetime GP. I really wish there was a good way to cover/watch a race like this...humblebrag for my wife, she got a spot for next year's race a couple of weeks ago at Tahoe Trail. I'll get to watch it from the feed station next year, anyway.

They could get pretty good coverage with drones, but I'm not sure that they are willing to spend the money necessary.

Swenson is using drop bars in a effort to go faster.

Can't fly drones for commercial uses in public lands. Lifetime learned the hard way at Crusher a couple years ago when they advertised live streaming without permission.

Edit: they obviously get permits to use them because they have highlights. The cost of permitting live broadcast must be to high.

Keegan is going to crush his record time of 5:43 from last year. Or the timing is screwed up 🤷‍♂️

I have read multiple things were you need permits, a flight plan and a licensed drone operator for commercial use..

I rode it 2 times. Fun ride, Powerline is no joke as a few thought in 2018. I think it should be in the Lifetime series. Great race often not considered by some
