Summary

I’m Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast, and you’re tuned into our final post-race show of the season from Mont-Sainte-Anne, with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris.

It’s been a big year and honestly, a tough one for the podcast too. We’ve had no brand support for this World Cup series, which is the most expensive content we make. But we’ve done it because we love it, and we know you love it too.

Along the way, a bunch of you have stepped up through Patreon, and that’s made a huge difference, so a massive thank you to everyone who’s been part of that.

As I record this, we don’t yet have support locked in for 2026, so our Patreon community really is what’s going to keep us going. Because of that, we’re going to be doing more for out Patreon’s in 2026, and you’ll hear more about that soon.

If you want to be part of the crew that makes our World Cup coverage possible and helps the podcast in general, you can join from just £3 a month, that’s less than the price of a coffee, but it goes a long way. Just head to patreon.com/downtimepodcast.

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s the final round of the year, we’re at the iconic Mont-Sainte-Anne, and we’re digging into the battles for wins and overalls as they played out, with expert insight from the guys on the ground. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Mont-Sainte-Anne post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris

0:55.7	All right, let's get into it.
0:57.1	It's the final round of the year.

1:26.1	Yeah, I was just as shocked as anyone else. I was doing the commentary
1:29.9	and I had no idea what to say. Like I thought it was at first like some publicity thing maybe
1:36.4	was going to like fly in a super bruni. I had no idea what was going on. I thought there's no
1:43.2	chance this guy's like missed his start time.
1:46.7	And then the news came in that he had out of crash in practice
1:50.6	and he had a big bruise on his leg or knee that he tried to warm up
1:57.1	and realized that he wasn't going to be able to ride the bike,
2:00.7	waited to see what
2:02.3	Jackson was going to do to make a call. And once Jackson was in the lead, like, he knew
2:07.4	there was no way that he could get third. So it wasn't any use putting himself at risk. He would
2:13.8	be second in the overall anyway, which in the end, I think given the situation,
