Thanks @sspomer and the rest of the Vital crew for putting on such a great Fantasy Downhill competition again this year! And what a great season of racing we have had! These last few rounds have been nerve racking, but I am beyond stoked to have somehow held on to the lead in the standings 😅. Here's to another great season of racing/fantasy next year 🍻

Danny also had a couple of moderate injuries that flew mostly under the radar this season. IIRC he broke a couple of ribs at one point. I'm a bit surprised his injuries didn't get talked about more.

Most excited to see Briole back on the list. He's been pretty much radio silence since his crash at Tasmania last year.

11/28/2025 10:51am Great news for the sports and Valais IMHO. First, I really enjoyed the format. And second, having the local cycling organization in Valais this boosted, perhaps Champery will appear in the world cup calendar soon.

some insight into world champs champery economics via a PR email below Comprehensive Review of the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Valais. Sion, 27 november 2025 - The first-ever combined Mountain Bike World Championships in Valais were a resounding success across the board, generating an economic and media impact of CHF 27 million for the Canton of Valais. Additionally, thanks to a range of development programs and initiatives, the canton now boasts a state-of-the-art infrastructure dedicated to promoting cycling. Television broadcasts of the competitions reached a total audience of over 57 million viewers, and the event stayed within...

Can we move this convo to another, dedicated YT thread? Most of us don't really care. The TLDR is if you see a killer deal on a YT get it. They ride well, just don't plan on replacement parts.

I thought it was brilliant. Chris touched on all of the issues - team not getting paid, YT usa, paying customers with no bikes - and Flossman was free to respond naturally. Instead of diluting or improving my perception of tribulations at YT, I found the conversation really reinforced Flossman's now infamous character- zero accountability, empathy or remorse for the customers and staff involved, and constantly focused on the implications to the brand (not people) and damage limitation measures. If this was a parole hearing he'd be miles from getting his sentence commuted. I don't think this was good publicity...

I’ve been a long time listener to Downtime, as evidenced by my support in this thread, but the responses by other listeners in this thread have solidified my appreciation for the value it brings to our community. I’ll be supporting via Patreon as a result. I know, from listening, it’s been a tough year financially for Chris and the podcast, and I don’t want the negativity on this thread to outweigh the stellar content that the podcast usually offers. That being said, I do think a more hard hitting interview with Markus would be great, but I certainly wasn’t expecting...

If your definition of making money in a cushy fashion is 4 days work for minus £40 and comments like this, then I must be that hanger on using mountain bikers for my benefit. Just to be clear, this was my decision to do this interview and I'm not unhappy about doing that at my cost. YT just covered the bulk of the travel to enable us to do it in-person, which I think provides not only a better quality audio and video experience for you all, but also makes the conversation flow better. This doesn't in any way change...
