Summary

Today I'm joined by Canyon CLLCTV team manager, Gabe Fox. We sat down back in June at the Tweed Valley EWS for a chat. We talk about Gabe’s background and his route into team management. Hear about some of Gabe’s experiences of working alongside the legendary Stevie Smith as well as his current work building the Canyon CLLCTV. We cover topics like team environment, rider value and salaries, the Discovery takeover and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Gabe Fox. You can follow the Canyon CLLCTV on Instagram @canyon_cllctv. Supporting Partners Wahoo A market leader in Road cycling, Wahoo are relatively new to the mountain bike world, but are serious about getting involved. They are already supporting top athletes like Tahnee Seagrave, Danny Hart, Wyn Masters, Brendan Fairclough, and Loic Bruni, along with many others too. Wahoo were kind enough to support my training for the EWS100 and since November last year I’ve been using Wahoo’s products and found them intuitive, robust and a great addition to my training. Their GPS watch the ELEMNT RIVAL, their GPS computer the ELEMNT BOLT, and a Wahoo KICKR smart trainer were my choices, all combined with the super comfy TICKR heart rate strap. You can also check out their online one stop training and virtual racing platform, Wahoo X. You can check out all that Wahoo have to offer over at wahoofitness.com.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm Chris Hall and you're listening to the downtime podcast where we delve deep into the gravity-based side of mountain biking.
0:10.3	First up, I want to thank our supporting partner for this month, Wahoo.
0:14.2	Wahoo are a market leader in road cycling, but still fairly new to the mountain bike world.
0:18.8	However, they are properly serious about getting
0:21.1	involved. They're already supporting top athletes like Tiny Seagrave, Danny Hart, Wimmasters,
0:26.0	Brendan Fairclough, Loebrew and Pluny and plenty more. And I'm stoked to have them supporting the podcast
0:30.4	this month. Wahu was super helpful and supported my training for the EWS 100 in the Tweed Valley,
0:36.0	which means I've been using WAHU products
0:37.9	since my training began back in November last year, and I've personally found them to be intuitive,
0:42.8	robust and a really useful addition to my riding and training. Their GPS watch,
0:47.5	the element rival, provides you with everything you need for tracking your training right there
0:51.0	on your wrist. With customizable profiles for each activity, it's your
0:54.2	perfect companion for riding, gym sessions, indoor training and much more. If you want a GPS
0:59.6	computer to mount to your bike, then you've got the element bolt or roam to choose from. I've
1:03.9	been using the bolt, which is the smaller of the two. It's got fully customizable data screens
1:07.9	on a super easy to read display and it connects to your phone for super simple
1:11.8	setup. I also have a Wahu kicker smart trainer which has been invaluable for targeted
1:16.5	interval sessions allowing me to really take my training up a notch. Pair the kicker with Wahu
1:22.1	X, their one-stop shop training and virtual racing platforms and you never know you might even start to enjoy some indoor
1:28.4	training. All of these pair with their awesome Wahoo ticket heart rate strap, which is super
1:33.3	comfortable to wear and gives you the most accurate heart rate data for all of your training.
1:37.6	You can check out all that Wahoo have to offer over at Wahoo Fitness.com.
