Summary

What a way to start the season. Fort William didn’t disappoint and brought us a brutal track and incredible racing. We also saw some exciting new technology on the race track for the first time. There’s a lot to discuss as the covers were finally pulled back on the 2024 World Cup downhill series. So sit back, hit play and listen to your Maxxis Tyres post-race show from Fort William, with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris.

0:00.0	All right folks, World Cup downhill kicked off the year in style,
0:06.9	and this is your Maxis Tires Post Race Show for the opening round from Fort William, Scotland.
0:12.3	Maxis is synonymous with racing and is the name that comes to mind when you think of performance.
0:16.9	It's no surprise then that they've won more than any other brand in the history of World Cut
0:20.8	racing. No matter where or how you ride, Maxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread
0:26.3	patterns, casing and compound options. Personally, for my enjury bike, I run the DHR2 Max Terra
0:32.2	Double Down on the rear, paired up with the Assegai max grip on the front in the slightly lighter
0:37.0	XO plus casing, which I find
0:39.1	is tough enough for most of the riding I do. The downhill bike has got the DHR2 front and rear, both with
0:44.6	the DHS casein and both with a super grippy max grip compound. Those setups work great for me, but have
0:50.9	a look at what they have to offer and see what you think is going to be best for you.

1:27.4	We're in person for the first recap of the year, which is always the best way to do it.
1:31.6	I'm here with Olli Morris and Nico Malali. Ollie, we'll start with you. How's it going? A big change for you from last year to now.
1:38.8	Sure, what's the first thing to do is thank you for the seat that you've provided me, Chris, because it's been a long week,
1:45.6	that's for sure. First round, on a personal note, first race out with our team. So all the usual
1:51.8	sort of teething problems, but it's been an awesome week, thank you. And yeah, like I say,
