Welcome to the Pink Bike podcast.

This week is a special edition as we prep for the upcoming World Cup downhill season.

And before we get carried away, we need to really understand

two key definitions. First of all is, what does the kiss of death mean? So, the kiss of death is a

fatal or destructive relationship or action. Now, that might just come up. The second, of course,

is what the hell is a fantasy league.

it took other people three or four rounds to get there and put him on their team.
