This episode of the pod has everything! Florian Nicolai is the most consistent finisher in the EWS in recent times, having finished in the Top 3 in each of the last 3 seasons. Isabeau Courdurier is the 2019 EWS Champion having won every round delivering ‘the perfect season’. Then, we close out the show with some ‘EWS Real Talk’ with Matt Stuttard & Dan Wolfe. If that wasn’t enough, it even has George forgetting to turn his mic on for 2 of the interviews which is why it’s taken the best part of a day & a half to edit… Social stuff if you’d like to follow: @floriannicolai21 @isabeau_c @mattstuttard46 @thebigbad_wolfe @makingupthenumbersracing @jackreading_mtb The Making Up The Numbers podcast is sponsored by: Hope Technology www.hopetech.com @hopetech J-Tech Suspension www.j-techsuspension.co.uk @jtechsuspension Revolution Bike Park www.revolutionbikepark.co.uk @revolutionbp Ride Southern Spain www.ridesouthernspain.com @ridesouthernspain Schwalbe www.schwalbe.com @schwalbetyresuk Singletrack www.singletrackworld.com @singletrackmag #enduro #enduromtb #mtbpodcast #ewscanazei #downhillmtb #enduroworldseries

2021 DH Season Preview with Reece Wilson, Nina Hoffmann & Jamie Edmondson

Todd Schumlick has trained some of the world’s leading bike sports athletes from Aaron Gwin to Stevie Smith, Sam Blenkinsop to Emmeline Ragot. Richie Rude is the 2 x EWS Champion, 2013 Junior DH World Champion & has worked with Todd for the last 8 years. What started out as a discussion about training for DH vs enduro actually became more about training in general but there’s so much wisdom in here that it doesn’t really matter.
