This is part two of a two part Podcast that will review the 2023 UCI BMX World Championships that were held in Glasgow, Scotland last week. Part 1 focused on the challenge classes and part 2 will feature the elite racing.

I’m stoked to be joined by Julian Allen for these shows. Julian is a BMX lifer and was involved with Team GB behind the scenes with the support staff last week. He also raced cruiser and will tell us about that in part 1.

I want to thank the episode sponsor HT Components. Both Julian and myself use HT Pedals. Jools opts for the flats whilst I use the X3 Clips. If you also want to run the pedals that won more races at the BMX World Championships last week than any other, I’d suggest getting some HT pedals immediately.

Now its time for part Two of our World Championships review - The Elite classes. 

Just a quick mention, a couple of corse words do slip out during this show. For those who know Jools, he should be applauded of making it most of the way through without swearing. On to the show.
