Blind Racing, World Cup und neue Enduro-Gerüchte. Dennis und Texi sprechen darüber, warum Blind Races gerade so viel Spaß machen: unbekannte Trails, wenig Vorbereitung und einfach mal wieder Rennen fahren, ohne alles vorher tausendmal zu analysieren. Dazu geht's um den Downhill World Cup in Whistler, die aktuelle Rennszene und erste Rumours rund um eine mögliche neue Enduro-Rennserie. Texi erzählt von seinen eigenen Erfahrungen zwischen Downhill und Enduro, von wilden Momenten auf dem Trail – und warum man vielleicht einfach öfter eine Startnummer ans Bike hängen sollte. Und ganz nebenbei steht bei Dennis offenbar schon die nächste Rennfahrer-Generation in den Startlöchern.

Shortly after the final Enduro World Cup race of the 2026 season, Warner Brothers Discovery and the UCI made the surprise announcement that the series will not continue for 2027. Despite the uncertain future that leaves for top-tier professional Enduro racing, the announcement was met with a surprising amount of excitement from athletes, and a real sense of optimism that something better can rise from the ashes of the short-lived EDR series. So we brought professional racer Eric Olsen back on the show to discuss all of it. The full press release from the UCI can be read here. Note: We Want to Hear From You!

On August 19th, Warner Bros. Discovery and the UCI announced the end of the Enduro World Cup for 2027. Three days later, I met Enrico Guala in Les Gets.Enrico co-founded the Enduro World Series with Chris Ball and Fred Glo. He runs Superenduro in Italy. He lives in Finale Ligure — the place Warner's own press release calls the spiritual home of enduro. He built this sport alongside the very people who just brought it to an end. He is not a neutral voice, and he says so himself.And yet he refuses to point at Warner or the UCI. He points somewhere else, and that's where the conversation gets interesting: why enduro was never broadcastable, why the perfect e-bike turned out to be an enduro bike and what that did to the market, why the riders are lost right now, and how he sees the sport being rebuilt.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 — Where does enduro stand today?02:15 — "I'm not afraid for the discipline"03:59 — The youngest discipline in mountain biking, and the rainbow jersey06:55 — The UCI, Warner Bros. Discovery and profitability10:23 — Why enduro doesn't sell on television11:45 — The industry stopped supporting the sport14:53 — The 48 hours after the announcement21:19 — National series, on the other hand, are doing well23:49 — Going back to the roots25:28 — How e-bikes changed everything30:02 — Where should enduro racing be heading?33:35 — Will we see a World Cup again?39:14 — His message to the industry44:23 — The riders are in shock, and that's normal46:39 — The four pillars of the rebuild53:28 — "When you build a house, you start from the foundations"

A rambling conversation about everything from Eurobike to South Korean pansori pop.
Enduro Metals is set to launch its 2026 drill campaign at the Andre copper-gold porphyry target in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, backed by a recently completed financing and a refined exploration strategy. CEO Robert Cameron joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss why Andre has emerged as the company's highest-priority target, how new geophysical data and AI-assisted drill targeting are shaping the program, and what success would look like from the initial 3,000-meter campaign. The conversation also covers the project's favorable infrastructure, the potential scale of the mineralized system, and how Enduro is balancing exploration with disciplined capital allocation.
We begin the week with a big round of fresh drill results from Magna Mining, Alamos Gold, Copper Giant, Radisson Mining and Apex Critical Metals. Enduro lays out their plan for Newmont Lake this season. Sierra Madre Gold and Silver close the acquisition of Del Toro. This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by...

The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters this week — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.Wahoo KICKR v6 firmware 5.6.13 introduced random power/connection drops in Zwift — no official fix yet — Hold on updating to 5.6.13 if you can; if already updated, file a Wahoo support ticket and monitor both the Wahoo and Zwift forums for a hotfix before your next important ride or race.CPSC issues stop-use warning for CARBO folding e-bikes Model X and Model S — manufacturer has refused to offer a remedy — If you own a CARBO Model X or Model S, stop riding it immediately; there is currently no manufacturer-provided repair or refund path, so contact the CPSC directly to report your unit.Strava paywalls its developer API at $11.99/month, citing AI scrapers — open-source ecosystem rattled ahead of IPO — If you use a third-party Strava analysis tool, check whether it still works and whether its developer has committed to paying the new fee; mainstream wearable sync is unaffected.JetBlack Victory gains wired USB-C connection to Zwift with firmware 4.28 — first trainer on the market to do so — Victory owners on Windows or macOS who have wireless drop issues should update to firmware 4.28 and give USB-C a try; for everyone else, wireless still works fine.Garmin Connect 5.26 APK teardown surfaces 'Enduro_4' device entry — no spec details or launch date confirmed — Monitor Garmin's outdoor announcement cadence around August 2026 before buying an Enduro 3 or a competing ultramarathon watch; no action needed now.Daily cycling intelligence from SEMIPRO CYCLING, produced with AI-assisted research, scripting, and synthetic voice.
One of the things I enjoy most about this podcast is getting the chance to speak with athletes right at the point where everything is starting to come together. The results are appearing, the confidence is growing, and you get a glimpse of where they might be headed next. That’s exactly where Elliot Jamieson finds himself. After coming through the downhill ranks, stepping onto World Championship podiums as a junior and then making the move to Enduro, Elliot has steadily been building towards becoming one of the most exciting riders in the discipline. But what stood out to me in this conversation wasn’t just the speed. It was the way he thinks about the sport. We talk about growing up in a big sporting family, the pressure that comes with early success, making the switch from downhill to Enduro, and how a difficult run of injuries helped shape the rider he is today. We also dive into confidence, preparation, bike setup, building a racing programme, and where he thinks Enduro sits as a sport right now. Elliot is thoughtful, analytical and clearly committed to the process of becoming the best rider he can be. And after the progress he showed last season, it’s hard not to feel like we’re watching one of the riders who could help define the next era of Enduro racing. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Elliot Jamieson. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Elliot on Instagram @elliotjamieson_ and on YouTube here.

Sam Shaw isn't your average FKT setter. The Kiwi rider has raced XC, gravel, and Enduro over the years (he was on the podium at XCO nationals just this year), but since getting married and starting a family, he's worked full-time off the bike as an ecologist and carpenter. Last year, he set the fastest known time between Auckland and Wellington, beating Lachlan Morton's record. Earlier this month, he set the FKT on the Great Tracks Traverse, a 240-mile route that covers New Zealand's Paparoa Track, Old Ghost Road, and Heaphy Track, which Payson tackled in 2024. Sam caught up with Payson during his lunch break from building a roof to talk about how he took on the route, including training while commuting, riding a bike he received just hours before setting off, having to plan around conservation laws that put part of the route off limits at night, and fueling.

Charlie Murray is not racing the Enduro World Cup this year, and he's joining us to explain why. This isn't a retirement story, think of it more as a sabbatical. One of enduro racing's most successful riders is stepping away from the World Cup circuit, at least for now, with burnout, injury, and the pressures of racing at the top level all playing a part in that decision. In this conversation, we go inside that decision, the thinking behind it, and find out what comes next. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Charlie Murray. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Charlie on Instagram @murraycharles and check out his 2025 season film here.
