Summary

I’m Chris Hall, this is the Downtime Podcast, and you’re tuned into your World Cup post-race show for Loudenvielle with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris.

Before we get into it, a quick one… if you enjoy these shows and want them to keep happening, we need your support.

This series is fully independent, we don’t have brand backing. Putting it together means paying Chris, Neko and Olly for their time, and getting to races where possible to bring you the best coverage we can. It’s a big commitment, and it only works because of you.

Last season, a few hundred of you stepped up and made it happen and we’d love to build on that this year.

So if you’re into World Cup downhill and want the best insight going, head to patreon.com/downtimepodcast and support from as little as £3 a month. It genuinely makes a difference.

We’ll also be bringing back things like our mid-season Patreon hangout with Chris, Neko and Olly, so you can get involved directly too.

Thanks to everyone who’s joined up so far this season, it means a lot to us!

Alright, round two delivered a blown up Loudenvielle track and plenty of drama. With top riders like Loïc Bruni and Jackson Goldstone sitting on the sidelines, it was all to play for. As always, racing across all the categories was insane and there’s heaps to dig into. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Loudenvielle post-race show with Neko and Olly.

Podcast Stuff

Patreon

I would love it if you were able to support the podcast via a regular Patreon donation. Donations start from as little as £3 per month. That’s less than £1 per episode and less than the price of a take away coffee. Every little counts and these donations will really help me keep the podcast going and hopefully take it to the next level. To help out, head here.
