The 2024 MTB Season Recap: Highlights, Controversies, Future of Enduro & UCI’s 2025 Rulebook Shakeup
Misspent Summers just launched their downhill and enduro yearbooks, so we thought it would be a good time to catch up and chat about some of our favourite memories from the 2024 season, as well as to look forward to 2025 and talk about some of the changes that are coming to the sport. Find out if we understand the rule changes. Hear our thoughts on three person podiums, the move to no protection, and the jeopardy created by the restriction on team numbers. The guys also tackle the big question, will enduro be ok? There’s lots to dig into, so, without further ado, here’s Ben and James from Misspent Summers.

    Great to listen to the misspentsummers guys, I've just received my supporters pack and it's great to see my name in each book along with other supporters. As an amateur photographer I love the work of the guys that are part of the fabric of mountain bike racing. Regarding the changes, I think they are mainly positive, no semis, an lcq, no protected riders and number for life, but the DH schedule really hasn't been thought through.

    But whos going to fund these extra continental series if the funding is already tight in the main series. The elite riders and teams are going to more expensive to fund so will require bigger budgets. The UCI and Wanner Brothers have decreased their income due to drastically reducing the number of riders they charge to race. Where is the extra money going to come from when the current race promoter has actually decreased the TV audiences with there confusing access to race coverage and exposure for the sponsors.

    More travel does not mean faster, so many people get this wrong. I have a stumpy 140mm and a epic 8 120mm and have a 4+ minute fast downhill at my local trails with a few tight corners and switchbacks my stumpy cant even get close to the epic on a almost 5 minute downhill that's crazy!

    I've never raced but I've had some big injuries/rehabs over the years and Sian seems to have her head well screwed on in that respect. Also, if you're going to ferry your talent half way across the world for Winter testing then Australia would be a good place to go, at least two team members would be relatively local already... (I don't imagine Winter testing in the Northern hemisphere would be as useful)
