Summary

I’m Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you’re tuned into our 2025 Lenzerheide post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris.

If you’re listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what’s going on. That’s exactly what we are here to do.

Throughout the season, we’ll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won’t hear elsewhere.

However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn’t in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn’t have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table.

So I’ve been funding it myself, along with the support of our wonderful Patreons.

If this show means something to you, and you want to help me keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That’s less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this.

I know times are tight. But if you value what we’re creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now’s the time to chip in and help out.

Lenezerheide delivered insane racing, we saw some changes of momentum in season long battles, back flips in race conditions and plenty more. As always there’s heaps to dive into, so sit back, hit play and listen to this Lenzerheide post-race show with Neko and Olly.
