Loving the van guys! Would be great to see a Peaty interview in the car park at Wharnchliffe/Greno. Top job on the Pod too, Wyn is such a lovely fella!
I think you gotta put Gwin's Chainless Run FTW up there and Danny's run in Champerey in the Pouring Rain and Mud. Both Legendary runs in their own right. Not to take anything away from Loic and Amaury. Both are INCREDIBLE riders!!!
When talking about focusing on the details. Just as an example. Some think of focusing on maybe ten things as focusing on the details. But those that are not letting a single thing slip thru think of maybe 100 items as the details. The actual number is much higher. As Wyn stated, so much is going on behind the scenes and that requires so much support. I think for long term growth and success the large teams will actually hurt the sport. If new riders don't feel they have a chance to succeed without that big powerful team they may choose not to race. Will it end up only being ten elite men because that is all that the big teams will or can support. I also feel it takes away from showcasing the riders.
Keep kids on hardtails as long as possible, I did and now they are 14/16 they ride light and safe. I would also add, they always had full body protection so they were not afraid of falling and learned how to bail. Wyn for the win on being a dad.
What a wonderful alfresco chat 😊 Don’t want to say much, but I just have to add letting your lad / daughter do their first proper drop is, well terrifying and then there’s the day you have to take your kid home with a busted bone - although, I should add that my lad had to take me home thouroughly fractured before I needed to return the favour 😂
Where to go for the alfresco podcast?? May I suggest Leeds Urban bike park?? I'm 50 years young and learnt how to ride a bike in what was then known as Miggy Woods.
Also, being one of the ppl that watched everything live in the past, my personal take is that I am not willing to pay for the content if the other content of that platform isn't anywhere close to relevant for me. I still follow all the social media just as in the past, but it does sometimes feel like artificial respiration on an interest that I just cannot quite get the same fix for anymore.
