0:00.0	All right, the first race of the year in Lenza Hi to Switzerland didn't disappoint and provided us with some incredible racing.
0:09.3	So it's time for our first Maxis tyres post-race show of the year.
0:12.8	Maxis is synonymous with racing and is the name that comes to mind when you think of performance.
0:17.2	It's no surprise that they've won more than any other brand in the history of World Cup and EWS racing.
0:22.2	No matter where or how you ride, Maxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options.
0:28.7	On my Enduro bike, I run the DHR 2 Max Terra double down on the rear, paired up with the Asagai Max Gripe up front in the slightly lighter XO plus compound.
0:36.6	The downer bike has got a DHR2 front and rear, both with a DH casing and their super grippy max grip compound. Both setups are working great for me, but take a look at the lineup and choose what's best for you. You can check out the entire range of Maxis tires over at Maxis.com and find the tires at your local Maxis dealer. You can also give them a follow on Instagram
0:54.3	where they're at Maxis bike. All right, it's time to sit down with Nico Malali and Oli

1:11.2	Okay, it's the first post-race show of the year.
1:14.7	Lenz-Ire had delivered a pretty incredible race.
1:18.3	As usual, I'm joined by Nico Malali.
1:20.5	Nico, a bit different for you this time around, man,
1:23.6	sitting, unfortunately, over in the US behind a computer screen and not behind a handlebar
1:29.4	here in Switzerland. How's that been? When was the last time you sat out a World Cup from this
1:35.9	far away? Man, it's been a few seasons now. I've been pretty lucky with injuries at least the
1:42.3	past three or four years where I haven't
1:45.0	really missed any. But it's a part of our sport and luckily I'm well on the road to recovery.
1:52.2	I normally am able to give you guys a perspective of what it's like to race. But this time I
1:57.6	watched all the coverage, everything I could. I was glued to the computer screen, wishing I was there.
2:03.8	So I probably got to see more of the race and less of my own experience.
