Theo Erlangsen is BACK, and the gloves are off...
In this episode, Theo joins Olly and Davi to break down the leaked
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) document titled '2025 MTB Reform:
Evolution of Mountain Bike Racing'. Together, they dissect how the
document was leaked, explore Theo's take on the few positive
suggestions, and critically examine the potential fallout. Will
race teams and riders be forced out? Could a big social media
following become more important than race results? Should Chris
Ball and the UCI consult the athletes directly? And, what will
these changes mean for the future of the sport we all love?
The guys also discuss how tracks could be improved, what the
changes imply for the future of mountain biking and the broader
consequences for both athletes and fans. Plus, Theo shares stories
from his latest adventures, including the Monster Girl trip to
Ibiza, the Monster Backyard Battle events, Trans Madeira, and much
more.
Please share your thoughts in the comments, we want to hear your
views on the current state of our sport...
