Summary

This weekend Les Gets was alive with the sound of chainsaws, the smoke of red white and blue flares and some incredible racing. I’m joined by Neko Mulally and Olly Morris to find out just how difficult those track conditions were, what it feels like to be charged by thousands of mountain bike fans, if Max Commencal’s hangover has worn off yet and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Les Gets World Cup post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris.
