About this episode
The episode discusses the recent World Cup in Switzerland, featuring race breakdowns and various controversies.
Episode 77 is fresh off the World Cup weekend in Switzerland, where the boys were (once again) nowhere near the start line. Ralph smashed a local middle distance for his first win of the season and Tim passed his forest fitness test ahead of Tiomila. We break down the sprint, relay and knockout races, debate the mapping, artificial barriers, cars in the area, and the great Kasper Fosser hedge-jump controversy. There’s also safety glasses, headbands, ankle braces, one very nerdy rock collection, and Ralph’s first-ever earthquake.
