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!

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.

A multi-time Canadian Champion and Pan Am Games medalist, Haley now channels that same relentless drive into her work as a speaker, a co-race director of the Canmore Women's Enduro, and a brand partnership/athlete sponsor professional helping athletes and organizations secure the funding they deserve.
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.

Eight‑time National Enduro Champion Mike Lafferty joins Brian to kick things off with old‑school timekeeping enduros, why he believes the restart format “saved” national enduro, and how NEPG‑era changes grew rider numbers and simplified the sport. They move into how reading trail shaped his speed, what GNCC taught him about real race pace, and the timekeeping tricks, route sheets, and “race within the race” details he picked up from Alan Randt, Randy Hawkins, and his dad.From there, Mike looks back on his 1997–2007 championship run, near‑miss titles decided by a single point, and the KTM years working side‑by‑side with Alan and Melissa Randt as his mechanic, agent, and de‑facto team. The conversation then shifts to bike choice and feel—why he's always preferred 250s over 300 two‑strokes, how the KTM 400 four‑stroke changed his career, and how sprint enduro in the U.S. has helped riders better prepare for ISDE.In the final part of the episode, they dig into the evolution from full‑wrap bark busters to modern flag handguards, Mike's philosophy on plowing through trees versus steering around them, and his new chapter as a Sherco ambassador and East Coast sales manager, including why the mid‑size four‑stroke and carb'd two‑strokes grabbed his attention after knee replacement.------If this conversation resonates, share it with a riding buddy who takes racing (or themselves) a little too seriously, and make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the next Mindset of the Racer episode.Support the showSupport the show

The Farm14 National Enduro was the ANEC's first attempt at a two-day enduro format. They split up the classes between Saturday and Sunday, as well as added in a few extra tests for the A racers. In this Seat Time Podcast Roundtable, we discuss if the format worked and if the racers are looking forward to another one. The guests in this episode are Ryan Moss, Liam Capodice, and John Yantek. Ryan and Liam were Saturday racers, while John was a Sunday racer. The Seat Time Host is of course Brian Pierce.If you were at the American National Enduro Championship two-day enduro in Mississippi, what did you think of the enduro and Kevin Windam's property? Would you attend another one? Should this be the American National Enduro format for all races? What did we miss when it comes to progressing the national enduros here in America?Support the show
