What we know:

Vid 1:
9 Countries

25,000 Miles

2 Million $$

Cast Reveal:
 
        This season, which marks the 21st race around the world for the series, will introduce a new twist to the game that will raise the stakes for the entire season. If the Team that wins the first leg of the season can outrace the other 10 Teams and win the final leg of the Race, they will double their money and win a $2 million grand prize instead of $1 million.

        Teams will travel through three continents, nine countries and cover more than 25,000 miles, where they’ll be faced with a 10-story rappel in Los Angeles, frying an egg on their heads in Indonesia, working as “rat collectors” in Bangladesh and revisiting one of the Race’s most infamous Roadblocks in the Netherlands in this season’s “Switchback.”

Strangely, the promo actually features lots of footage of seasons gone by, so this isn't from S21! You can tell pretty easily which footage is old because it has thick black bars down the sides (4:3 instead of 16:9, as it was pre-season 18).

The bungy jump is from TAR 3 with Derek and Drew at the Red bridge in Niouc. There is also Fran's bungy jump from TAR 9 in Greece. Art & JJ in Salta and Kevin and Gerard, also from TAR 3 in Wailua Falls. In this promo the only new scenes from TAR 21 are from the start line and the first task and maybe the generic pictures of the Russian soldiers and Moscow.

It also shows a person sliding from a water slide, which is in Wild Wadi Water Park, Dubai. Which is either from TAR15 or TAR5. CMIIW :duno:

Maybe  I'm wrong  but the church  in 31-32 looks a lot like the same in TAR9 russian leg.

It's Saint Basil's cathedral in the middle of the Red Square. The most characteristic landmark of Moscow. And it was the place of the fake pitstop in TAR 9.

I kinda curious anyway, why the producers release scenes from previous seasons, with only the Starting Line scene from this season? It's not usual if we compare it to the previous seasons pre-race videos that shows the scenes only from that season. Is it connected to the location(s) in this season? No! Because there are some location that we know not visited in this season. Maybe there are some kind of good explanations why? ???

With all the repeat countries maybe they are trying to do multiple switchbacks or something? :duno:

That's common practice, they use former scenes as dramatic examples.

What isn't so common (does anyone remember if this has ever happened before??) is to release a video which includes current racers BEFORE the cast reveal.

Perhaps that is why the PREVIEW VIDEO has now been removed from the CBS site entirely. Oopsie....

So, maybe they're going to release a pre-race video that is showing scenes from this season AFTER they reveal all the contestants? :duno: :)

The only one that springs to my mind is TAR14. If you take a look here, you'll see the RFF contestant reveals included caps from the starting line :tup:

It happened for TAR20 as well remember, the first promo was a 'Amazing 20 Seasons' with flashbacks from other seasons, and in it was a shot of the teams at the Starting Line which we figured out was TAR20

Well, that could be footage from the fake PitStop in Moscow's Leg of TAR9.  I watched again the episode, and previous to Eric & Jeremy arrival to it there are scenes of soldiers marching in the Red Square.  :)

For the record, the Russian soldiers are a generic picture. They are also used in TAR9 twice, once at the Superleg midpoint and once as a travelocity ad.
