    Glad you enjoyed it. Nice to meet you guys. On the age thing I’ve told my missus I’m never getting over 27 mentally 😆

    This years Mega was epic and it was glorious to meet Needles Brendog and Jono... big shout out to Needles for being such a nice bloke and pointing me in the right direction to the quali track during practice. and I totally agree with him too... you'd love the Mega Olly proper week away playing bikes 🤘😁🤘

    Had the same LCQ idea over a year ago. Think I randomly sent it to Bernard (October) in the hope he had the ear of someone influential but doubt he ever read it.
    Hopefully we're not the only ones with that idea and it gets through

    I watched Semi's last year, loved how much racing there was. But it's stupid to have them and not show them.
    But these ideas are amazing! UCI need to listen, not that it feels like they listen to anyone. 😂

      @@TheRideCompanion I hope so, but seems like the UCI isn't interested in what the fans say.
      Could you get someone on your podcast from the UCI to discuss their side of the story??

    It really hit them when Andrew said “they got more balls than you two” when talkin about new riders choosing megavalanche to race😂😂

    The talk about the riders who should be in the final was very good. People like gwin and minnar deserve a place 100%. I tune is as I want to see minnarr. Also they are getting older and have held the sport for so long. And are worth so much to the sport so people want to see them. Also getting older they must be finding it harder to do all the runs through the weekend. With all of that collated. They should be in the final if they want to be I recon. In random positions too so no one can moan about track conditions. Luck of the draw then

    1:58:25 It is actually not allowed to do any kind of remote controlled changes to the car in F1. What they do is program hundreds of programs to do changes to the engine, disable sensors ect. that the driver can execute from the streering wheel. So the team can tell the drivers to execute the programs, but not remotely execute them themselves. The principle is that the DRIVER is DRIVING the car, NOT the team on the pit wall.
    They are also not allowed to automate changes based on e.g. track position. The driver has to adjust their brake balance, diff ect for each corner.
    I think it should definitely be like this in MTB as well if there aren't any rules in place for this already. It will be an issue within a couple of years...

    Oli, the difference between feeling young and old is a combination of accumulated permanent injury pain (niggles) and responsibility (kids, payments, businesses, non-working wife perhaps). The difference between feeling like a youth and feeling like an adult, is a combination of whether you still do the things you did when you were young (could be anything) and by extension due to the old adage 'use it or lose it', how much of your youth you have forgotten and therefore become a boring, moaning, too much time on your hands, do-gooder who doesn't know who they are anymore and so settles into everything being a chore. Hence why 'adults' are easily angered by 'youths' doing youth things, which usually have little point to them outside of excitement, with massive downside risk if it goes wrong. They worry on behalf of everyone and it angers them as it's them as a group who have to fill out the paperwork!
