Summary

Last week YT relaunched their team, the YT Mob and have signed, among others, Jack Moir. If you’ve seen the launch, you’ll realise that the have taken a pretty different approach to other teams, not controlling what components the riders choose, bringing together multiple disciplines and more. I got the chance to sit down with the man behind the team, YT’s Head of Sports Marketing, JP Becker to find out all about it. We also grabbed some time with all the enduro and downhill riders, so we’ll be hearing from Jack Moir, Kasper Wooley, Christian Textor, Sian Ahern and Oisin O’Callaghan. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with the 2023 YT Mob.

JP Becker 4:18 – 39:09

Jack Moir 39:09 – 45:23

Kasper Wooley 45:23 – 52:29

Christian Textor 52:29 – 58:38

Sian A’Hern 58:38 – 1:01:37

Oisin O’Callaghan 1:01:37 – 1:04:47

JP Becker 1:04:47 – 1:21:23
