0:00.0	All right, World Cup racing very nearly didn't happen this weekend in Andorra, thanks to the weather.
0:08.7	But eventually, we did go racing, so we're here with your Maxis Tires post-race show for this weekend's racing in Andorra.
0:15.4	Maxis is synonymous with racing and is the name that comes to mind when you think of performance.
0:20.0	It's no surprise then that they've won more than any other brand in the history of World Cup, downhill and enduro. No matter where or how you ride, Maxis has the tires for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options. Personally, I'm running the DHR2 Max Terra double down on the back of my injury bike, paired up with the Assegai
0:38.1	max grip up front using the slightly lighter XO plus casing. The downhill bike then has
0:42.8	DHR2, front and rear, both with the DH casing and with their super grippy Max grip compound.
0:48.4	Both setups are working awesome for me. You can check out the entire range of Maxis

1:23.2	Okay, well Andorra nearly was the race that wasn't.
1:27.8	We've had some pretty insane weather through the valley over the weekend,
1:32.5	but luckily we did go racing and there's plenty to talk about.
1:35.3	So I'm joined, as always, by Nico Malady and Oli Morris.
1:39.5	Nico, we'll start with you.
1:40.9	You came over to Europe for world champs and then headed back to the US and you've made
1:47.1	the decision not to come over for this three races back to back.
1:51.6	Just talk us through briefly, like the thinking behind that decision.
