Hello and welcome to the Pinkbike podcast.

We're still testing the fields as Dario is writing a very rude word on a piece of paper.

I'm shocked.

We're also joined by Kaz and Matt. We're up in Whistler.

Yeah, the second week of our autumn field test. And we're going to talk about some mountain biking,

some mountain biking sort of the surrounding noise as well as answering some of your questions.

I suppose the big news this week, I kind of almost don't want to get drawn on it too much,

is the sort of the rumourings about what racing

will look like next year, as well as,

as well as the results from the inaugural EWS World

Championships or EDR World Championships.

The one thing I'd say to take away from the rumors that's relevant, two birds, one stone, is

the sort of suggestion about what EDR racing is going to be in the future.

And it's about that 140, 150 mil, enduro bike, which I'd actually probably call a trail bike.

All mountains coming back. All mountains coming back.

All mountains coming back.

Do you think that's what the stages should be designed for, that sort of bike?

But then again, we're not on these style of bike anyway.

Yeah, I mean, how do you design?

Like, it seems so strange to decide that a certain trail is only for a certain amount

of travel.

Like, oh, no, you made it.
