 | With 2021 fast approaching I can now officially announce I will no longer be racing for Propain Factory Racing, thanks go to all those who’ve played a part in helping me out the past two years. Unfortunately, I currently do not have a team or bike sponsor lined up for next season but still plan to come out swinging in Maribor come April. Onwards and upwards as they say…— Luke Williamson - Instagram |

old videos of skidding every berms etc )
than mountainbikers , industry'll restart to sponsor racers or the guys/girls who make quality contents.
Well said. Mediocracy rise with the youtubers.
Social media is a posion to racing! But a marketing manager's dream.
Nothing wrong with producing content, you pulling a skid or a wheely. But the hard work, dedication, cost and sacifice that goes into competing is now being ignored. It's now all about posing looking good putting out youtubes or instagrams every other day. Its a sad world now.
Wins the best video edition / best talktive (I don't of this word exists!!!).
Races on the other end, are won through seconds or decimals....
No vidio editing, no funky jersey, just pure PERFORMANCE and a bit of luck!
Maybe racers could adapt and be more visible - just saying!
I understand it can be difficult, but it's their profession... so probably it's time to move on and change, and continue on the game
Best of luck to him
It's not just the leisure industry that are experiencing these issues. Sadly many companies won't survive despite significant demand for their products and services at present.

Crap??

They dont look like a bad set of results to me, 5th at Maribor, 7th at Worlds, 6 at Lousa 2.
Look at the percentage of riders he has beaten week in / week out at WC level - no wins but he's up there. Think of some of the riders he's been up against over the last 2 years, and not all of the tope guys now had absolutely stellar junior careers.
Fair point but juniors mature at different times, not always the top jumiors who go on to be the best elites.
