Ronan's story is a perfect example of why this sport is so great. Coming from privateer 3 years ago to WC winner. The twats at WB/D put out their bullshit press releases about storytelling, then bring in their changes to diminish those stories. The sport will lose so much if we just end up with a select group of elite teams.
Stories like Ronan's are what make our sport great and give fans something to get behind as well as inspire them to chase their own dreams and believe that it is possible.
We need more Ronan's and I hope this isn't lost in future!
Whew! Was worried you and Ronan got a little too into the vodka and were locked up hungover in a Polish jail somewhere, glad to see that's not the case (or at least that they let you out)
Thanks Wyn! Without being able/prepared to pay for the live feed. You keep us Geeks fed with the vibe from the races As I said before I love the longer format
Jak sie masz!
That was even better than usual! Wyn, one of my regrets that weekend was not having a chance to chat with you, even had some vodka for you to try, but you're a busy man, I get it. Hopefully the WC will come back next year and we can chat then. Thank you for your work. Downhill riders and crews are the best, it was amazing to finally meet so many of you in person.
I wonder if Neko got the police involved after he tracked down the thieves, or has he spent enough time in the UK to know they wouldn't be interested? But turn up mob handed and forcibly take your stuff back? Oh yeah, the police would be interested then.
Wyn ur a great guy that kid that placed 10th in bolth races u just mad his year and changed his life ..ur an amazing person ..he was holding it back cause he is young kid but he was threw the roof happy ...
Just when you think the privateer award can't pull your heart strings any more then the last one...
They said it best, UCI do not take these stories away by going to only a certain amount of elite teams.
Neko is the man. Team needs a team mascot guard dog or maybe a couple of operators from Ft. Bragg to provide overwatch of the van overnight. Put it in the contract.
I have always loved the wyntv interviews (track walk & finals)… other than the broadcast itself it’s the only other coverage I consistently watch. But I agree 1 hour is a bit long. I watch the full 1 hour because I love the content and insight but it is a commitment when life’s other responsibilities are always in the back of mind. A solid 30 minute episode would be perfect.
Are you aware you don't have to watch the whole thing?
Imagine being a content creator and having people complain about receiving too much of exactly the thing they like. Should we also complain when we get a couple extra fries with our order?
@robmurray12: Not offended, more like bewildered. Sounds like you and davidrb9 were the ones offended by getting too much free content - hence my bewilderment.

Maybe listen to it on your lunch hour (2 if you only get 30mins)
