0:00.0	All right, here it is your Maxis Tires pre-race show for the 24 World Championships in Andorra with Chris Kill Murray.
0:10.8	By now, you'll know that Maxis is the performance brand and that they've won more than any other brand in the history of World Cup racing,
0:17.5	with a range of tread patterns, casing and compound options to suit wherever and however
0:21.4	you ride. What you might not know is that they recently launched a brand new tire, the new
0:25.9	high roller. This tire was built, tested and raced on the World Cup circuit to create an amazing
0:30.9	new intermediate tread design that's already taken Jackson Goldston, Ronan Dunn, Marin Cabo
0:36.3	and Eli Hulzebos to the top steps of the podium.
0:39.5	Designed to sit between the Assegai and the Shorty and the Maxis Range,

1:45.1	one or the other. I'm going to go with the too long thing. Yeah, before we get stuck into talking
1:50.4	about world chance, which is rapidly approaching, let's just quickly look back to the last
