 i definitely prefer listening to the pros and race talk instead of listening to manufacturers and industry talk

 That's cool, some people seem to love the tech stuff and some people are more into the racer side of things. Good that there is something there for everyone!

 @downtimepodcast: I think a mix of both is the way to go. But these podcasts with Elliot and Neko are amazing thank you for making it.

 @bulletbassman: I also liked this one a lot, except when he started talking about bike sizing as it urned out more into a defense of his business model than science. One size fits all? Really? Like a baseball cap with elastic straps? Is that what so special on the Unno? Extensible frames? Big Grin

 Thanks for sharing Pinbike!! This is a pretty new format of show for me, so I'd love to know what you all think... cheers, Chris

 I like it, with the amount of time and more casual atmosphere you get to hear some different perspectives and information than what is normally published. For instance, hearing that Danny told Neko his cut down helmet looked stupid was hilarious, wouldn't be hearing about that from a pro during a normal media interaction.

 Yup, more of this, hoping that you can keep it consistent with Neko and Eliot. Would also be amazing if there's a video podcast with the three of you. Thanks for this.

 These are great. I was on my way home from work yesterday listening to more football talk and was so bored of it. To be able to switch over to listen to an in depth podcast about downhill mountain bike racing instead is amazing. Thanks for doing this.

 thanks @humoroususername, it was my commute that made me want to make something like this, so I'm glad it's working for you!

 Brilliant show. Well done Chris. It’s definitley motivating to hear different people talking about not just their roles in the industry but there own passion for riding.

Keep up the good work.

 Referring to Gee's exclusion from the list, is there anything that can stop GB from taking an 8th rider? France have 8 riders in their elite mens but not sure if that's because of Bruni's win last year?

Otherwise it's time to get a petition on!

 Hey @dubod22, I think that's right, you get 7 + the world champ, hence the French team being bigger. There was a bit of a hashtag campaign but apparently British Cycling have made their final decision. It's a shame!

 @downtimepodcast: It would be a real bad look to tell someone they are on the time and then to take them off it.

 @bulletbassman: glad you're enjoying the podcast. Yeah I think it's such a big deal for a lot of riders to get on the national team for Worlds, taking that away from someone who you've already given a place would be super harsh!
