World Champs 2019 – Post-Race Show

September 3, 2019

This week was World Champs at Mont-Sainte-Anne, and once again the racing was amazing, with super tight margins in both the men’s and the women’s category. I’m joined by Neko Mulally and Eliot Jackson, to find out more about what went on. I also want to wish Brook Macdonald and Kate Weatherly full and quick recoveries from the crashes that took them out of contention this weekend. Get well soon!

If you want to enter the raffle to win Neko’s worlds bike, and support the great charity work that he’s doing with Can’d Aid, then head to candaid.org

This episode of the podcast is supported by Precision Hydration. Hydration is an often overlooked element of performance, not just in racing, but in riding and life in general. We all sweat at different rates, and lose different amounts of sodium in that sweat, so it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ fix. Precision Hydration realise that, and are here to help you optimise your personal hydration. Head to PrecisionHydration.com to complete the questionnaire and get your own hydration plan specific to your needs. As a Downtime listener, you get 20% off your entire order by using the code DOWNTIME at the checkout.
