Podcasts about Leogang

Four rounds into the 2026 World Cup season, and three B Practice podcasts have been recorded. What's new? This episode, we get into what Dak's been messing with, the struggles he had in Leogang, and the strides he made in Lenzerheide. We also spent way too long disputing what should change to make World Cups more engaging and growing. How many times can we talk about the same things? We also cover the usual talking points from the past two weeks of racing. Enjoy!

Enduro World Cup is back and there are new names at the sharp end of the results sheets. We've had breakout performances, surprise winners, and riders stepping into the spotlight who maybe weren't on everyone's radar a few weeks ago. But it's not just what's happening on track. The coverage itself feels like it's taken a step forward too. More access, more insight, and a better window into what's actually going on inside an EDR weekend. So in this episode, we're breaking it all down. The standout rides, the new characters emerging in the series, what's changed already in 2026, and what it might be telling us about where enduro racing is heading this year. Morgane and Greg join me to provide insight into what went on at the first two rounds in Loudenvielle and Leogang. Thiis is the start of something that already feels like a new era for EDR.  So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan.

Episodio 39 de la temporada 5 con mucho que contar. Arrancamos con Antonio confesando que se tiró 6 horas intentando hacer el vídeo musical de la canción con inteligencia artificial y acabó sin vídeo. Un desastre de manual que cualquiera que haya peleado con herramientas de IA va a entender perfectamente.En noticias, hablamos de la regulación de la UCI sobre los ciclocomputadores, de la segunda victoria consecutiva de David Valero en el Giro Dolomaid liderando la Copa del Mundo de maratón con mucha ventaja, de la caída de Evenepoel a 4 semanas del Tour de Francia y de todo el material nuevo: el lanzamiento del nuevo Shimano Deore mecánico, el nuevo gel Prolance 60 de Nutrinovex que llevamos 2 años desarrollando junto a ellos y, sobre todo, la gran noticia de la semana: la nueva Scott Spark 2026, la bicicleta de doble suspensión más vendida de la historia, renovada de arriba a abajo. La probamos en Italia y en el podcast os contamos todo lo que no cabe en el vídeo.En nuestras mierdas, el MGT Madrid Gravel Tour by Gobik ha superado todas las expectativas. 4 etapas, 400 kilómetros por la Sierra de Madrid y zonas que ni nosotros mismos conocíamos. Antonio Ortiz nos cuenta su fin de semana en Fiñana y la sorpresa de encontrar un sendero con su nombre. Y el tocayo también estuvo en Andorra trabajando como una mula.Para terminar, charleta sobre la gravel de aluminio de BH después de 4 días con ella en el MGT: ¿merece la pena frente al carbono?Si quieres entender bien todo lo que hablamos sobre ratios en los geles, te recomendamos el episodio 43 de la temporada 3 donde lo explicamos en profundidad: https://open.spotify.com/episode/31lic6oW2vJYTuoiGg6540?si=biapjn6ASumvuOM_yUTL1wComenta, puntúa y comparte el podcast.

Erstmals gingen in Leogang die Elite Frauen als letzte Klasse an den Start – und das kann man getrost als vollen Erfolg bezeichnen.

Alles zum Rennen in Leogang und eine kleine Vorausschau auf das kommende Rennen in der Lenzerheide gibt's im Podcast Pokal oder Spital!

Leogang delivered exactly what Leogang always seems to deliver: mud, mayhem and unforgettable racing. Ed Masters joins me on Bench Racing to unpack Finn Iles' emotional return to World Cup victory, the wild conditions that caught out some of the sport's biggest names, and the performances that could shape the rest of the 2026 season. From championship implications to race-winning mindset, we break down all the biggest talking points from Round 3 of the UCI Downhill World Cup.

Loudenvielle came and went, and unfortunately our dude Dak didn't make it in the night show. That's racing. The good news is his setup is trending towards the bullseye. After a week off lapping in Schladming, it's time to get back on the horse and head to Leogang. We figured most people already got their fix of post-race highlights from Loudenvielle, so we focused most on Dak's thoughts on the track, the race to make finals, Luca's first victory and what it represents, why he's going stiffer and stiffer and what that means for his bar height, poles vs. course tape, and thoughts on Leogang this weekend. Enjoy!  

Unser erstes Trailrunning-Camp in Leogang – gemeinsam mit Flo Neuschwander. Vor 17 begeisterten Teilnehmer*innen haben wir einen LIVE-Podcast aufgezeichnet. Eine besondere Zwischenfolge, ein besonderer Anlass und die perfekte Gelegenheit, einen der prominentesten Läufer Deutschlands von einer ganz persönlichen Seite kennenzulernen.#runwiththeflow #floneuschwander

The 2026 World Cup Downhill season rolled into France for Round 2, and Loudenvielle delivered one of the most unpredictable races we've seen in years. Photographer and World Cup insider Sven Martin joins me for another edition of Bench Racing as we break down a weekend defined by blown-out conditions, huge crashes, surprise results, and a long-awaited first World Cup victory for Lucas Shaw. We dive into the incredible crash rate that caught out many of the sport's biggest names, the costly mistakes from Asa Vermette and Jackson Goldstone, Loïc Bruni's injury concerns, and why the overall championship picture has suddenly been blown wide open. We also discuss Vali Höll's growing dominance, the rise of the sport's next generation, and which riders left France with momentum heading into Leogang. Bench Racing is your go-to source for technical analysis, insider perspectives, and post-race debriefs after every single World Cup round this season. Tune in for one of the deepest dives into Downhill racing anywhere in the sport.

Was für ein aufregendes Rennen in Loudenvielle – viel härter hätten die Bedingungen für den ersten DH World Cup auf europäischem Boden kaum sein können. Markus Pekoll und Gregor Sinn besprechen die Schlüsselszenen des vergangenen Rennens in Frankreich und werfen einen Blick voraus auf den kommenden World Cup in Leogang.

Michaela Altenberger vom Krallerhof aus Leogang in Österreich hat vor drei Jahren etwas völlig Neues probiert: ein ganzes Hotel auf Longevity und Biohacking umzustellen. Aus dem Experiment wurde eine Erfolgsstory. Eine Folge für alle, die sich mit Change-Prozessen, Gesundheit im Unternehmen und mit Business-Trends beschäftigen – und damit, wie wichtig es ist, dass man's ernst meint mit dem, was man tut.

Today's guest is someone whose voice - and face - I think most of us know instantly. Dermot O'Leary has been such a constant in British life for years now, from hosting The X Factor, to his Friday slot on This Morning, to his weekend shows on BBC Radio 2.He's had this really varied career - presenting everything from major live events like the Brit Awards and BAFTAs, to documentaries, and his more recent travel and food series Taste of Ireland with Dermot O'Leary on ITV, which is back for a second season. What I loved about this conversation is how much of his life has been shaped by travel. He grew up in an Irish family, going back and forth between England and Ireland, with those long childhood journeys to Wexford becoming some of his earliest memories. And that sense of place, of identity, of belonging really runs through everything he talks about in this episode.So today, we're diving into the seven chapters of Dermot's travel diaries, from those childhood summers in Ireland, to travelling solo across America, winter escapes to Norway to the Italian region that's completely stolen his heart.Holly's Destination Recap:- Priesteregg Resort, Leogang, Austria Dermot's Destination Recap: Soneva Fushi, MaldivesWexford, IrelandCurracloe Beach, IrelandCahore, IrelandSt Davids, United KingdomFishguard, United KingdomDordogne, FranceAtlantic Coast France, FranceNorfolk, United KingdomBodrum, TurkeyDonegal, IrelandSligo, IrelandCauseway Coastal Route, United KingdomBallycastle, United KingdomPortrush, United KingdomPortstewart, United KingdomDerry, United KingdomColeraine, United KingdomNew York City, United StatesWashington DC, United StatesNew Orleans, United StatesLos Angeles, United StatesHermosa Beach, United StatesSeattle, United StatesPuglia, ItalySalento, ItalyOslo, NorwayBygdøy, NorwayLofoten Islands, NorwayBergen, NorwayKirkenes, NorwayPrague, Czech RepublicJapan, JapanSouth Korea, South KoreaNew England, United StatesMaine, United StatesDERMOT O'LEARY'S TASTE OF IRELAND kicks off on Saturday 2nd May on ITV 1 and ITVX, in partnership with Tourism Ireland With thanks to…Citalia - Discover the real Italy with Citalia, the UK's leading Italian holiday specialists.

  In this inspiring episode of The StarrCast Podcast, host Lisa Starr travels to the breathtaking Austrian Alps to explore how strategic wellness development is transforming mountain destinations. Against the dramatic backdrop of Leogang's limestone peaks, Lisa visits Puradies eco-resort and sits down with owner Michael Madreiter to discuss the property's stunning Heaven Spa expansion and the remarkable story of how this region has achieved consistent double-digit growth through thoughtful spa and wellness investment. Michael shares the 185-year family farming legacy that informs Puradies' authentic approach to hospitality, revealing how a modest guesthouse evolved into a luxury wellness destination without losing its agricultural roots. From the innovative design philosophy behind the 1,500-square-meter Heaven Spa to the collaborative regional strategy that's made Leogang a world-class wellness hub, this episode offers invaluable insights for spa managers, developers, and hospitality professionals looking to build sustainable, nature-connected properties that thrive year-round. Why This Episode Matters: This conversation demonstrates how wellness amenities can solve the critical challenge of seasonality in mountain destinations while maintaining authenticity and environmental stewardship. Michael's journey from consultant to family business owner provides a masterclass in values-driven entrepreneurship and community collaboration. Key Takeaways For Spa Managers & Operators: Wellness facilities can transform off-season periods into profitable business opportunities, with November now approaching high-season demand for wellness hotels Approximately 70% spa utilization among hotel guests indicates strong return on wellness investment, even when not all guests book treatments Strategic collaboration with neighboring properties elevates an entire destination rather than creating destructive competition For Developers & Investors: Design-led, nature-embedded architecture creates lasting value—Puradies chose Noa architects specifically for their ability to make structures feel like they've "been there for decades" Selective, quality-focused development attracts more discerning (and profitable) tourists than mass-market approaches The four-element design concept and "framing" philosophy creates intimate spaces within overwhelming natural landscapes For Hospitality Leaders: Authentic heritage and local sourcing create differentiation—Puradies maintains working farmland, cattle, henhouses, and gardens that guests actively engage with Regional cooperation drives growth for all—Leogang properties invested in excellence collectively, resulting in 10-15 years of consistent double-digit growth Values-driven leadership attracts both guests and quality employees, creating sustainable business culture

On this episode of the Downtime Podcast, we're joined by Marco and Kornel from the Leogang World Cup team to get a real look at what it takes to put on a race of this scale. We talk about the growing challenge of fitting in ever-bigger pit set-ups, the serious costs involved in hosting a World Cup, and the planning that goes into keeping the track and riders safe. They share how the event impacts the local community, the push for sustainability, and what's next for mountain biking in Leogang.

This week's episode is a little different as it was recorded in front of a live audience. BOA invited me out to the Leogang World Cup and after the race we went to their office in Mondsee to record an episode with their supported athlete, Nina Hoffmann, in front of the BOA team. I want to say a huge thanks to BOA for inviting me over, it was great to meet the whole team and inspiring to see the focus and attention to detail that goes into the design of every product that features a BOA dial. After seeing that, it's really no surprise that the products are so good. Nina literally just bounced back from the biggest crash of her life, off the top of the wall ride in Leogang. We'll be hearing all about that crazy moment along with how Nina's dealing with both the physical and mental side of recovery. Nina discusses some of the changes she's made over the the winter, like bringing on a coach, getting to know a new mechanic and becoming a podcaster herself. It's an honest, inspiring conversation with one of downhill's most exciting athletes. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Nina Hoffmann. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Nina on Instagram @nina.hoff96.

If there is one thing we can almost guarantee, it's that Leogang will provide some incredibly tight racing. This year was exceptionally snug. Dry conditions and a similar track layout as years before meant little time was spent sorting out line choices or using the brakes. The recipe was simple: rally the main line with confidence and tuck-to-win on the motorway. And what transpired was some of the most competitive racing we've ever seen and a lot of talk about the safety, speeds, and simplicity of tracks. Tag along as we discuss the validity of these concerns, along with how Dak's first race back went, the back-to-back Canadian double victories, 510s athlete summit, Y2K freeride fashion, and more. 0:13 - What is 510's athlete summit all about? 3:50 - How Dak as an athlete benefits from the summit8:42 - Balancing expectations and deliverables with sponsors10:25 - Dak follows Danny Hart in Schladming11:51 - When are the 510 Desert Storm boots coming back??13:11 - Freeride fashion = Y2K14:32 - Dak just learned about Apple Pay16:05 - Dak's weekend in Leogang20:14 - Hardest part of the track in Leogang?22:11 - Critiquing the motorway 23:56 - Where are the jumps??24:48 - The need for new sections of track26:22 - Are tracks too fast/too straight?

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our Leogang post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. I honestly considered not running the series this year, but I love doing it and from what all of us involved have heard trackside from the fans, you love it to.  So I've decided to fund it myself, for now. But if this show means something to you, and you want to keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Racing in Leogang was tight, once again highlighting the depth of talent that we have in World Cup downhill right now. Another tough quail session fed a day of racing with insane times and some small differences having a big impact on the results. The 2025 season continues to deliver, and there's heaps to dive into, so without further ado, here's Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. Podcast Stuff Patreon I would love it if you were able to support the podcast via a regular Patreon donation. Donations start from as little as £3 per month.

The second round of the 2025 World Cup from Loudenvielle, France, produced some of the fastest racing we've seen in recent memory and was (somehow) filled with more funny drama than the first round in Poland. But it turns out a dry, straight track makes for iconic Hail Mary race runs, and the UCI/Warner Bros/Discovery not knowing how to enforce their own rules makes for good podcasting banter. We had fun this week chatting about the ongoing #polegate disputes, Dak's panic after watching racing from the sideline and rushed last-minute prep before Leogang, the Henry Keifer situation, the Stan Nisbet situation, Ronan showing why we ride with tires on our rims, track safety and the need for more turns, and most importantly, the tightness of riding pants. We have been treated to some iconic racing thus far this season, and Leogang this weekend will surely be exciting. Now let's just hope our co-host-extrodinare can make it past Q2! 0:13 - The Dak Update3:10 - Dak's panic from watching people ride in Loudenvielle6:05 - UCI trying to copy our post-race show9:05 - More insight into Dak's prep before Leogang14:13 - Has the field gotten faster this year?16:30 - #polegate again17:50 - Henry Keifer's start hut pit stop19:39 - Stan Nisbet stopped from racing24:15 - Ronan doesn't need tires.

Today, we're joined by one of 2024's breakout stars, Lachie Stevens-McNab. After narrowly missing the win in Poland, claiming third in Leogang, and finishing just 0.06 seconds from victory in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Lachie has become one of the year's most talked-about riders. But his journey didn't start here. A three-time BMX world champion, Lachie transitioned to mountain biking, quickly making his mark. Despite setbacks from serious back-to-back injuries, he's finally hitting his stride this season.

A track on the circuit that always provides dramatic, legendary race runs, this year at Leogang was fairly uneventful. A business as usual World Cup, you could say. Rain throughout the week provided some of the most changing and challenging conditions hit the #notabikepark track, with the lower woods being the deciding factor on race day. There was exciting racing across each category, highlighted by a dominating victory in both women's fields, an upset in the Junior men's race, and another elite men's podium filled with new and returning names.With a tight turnaround heading into Val di Sole this weekend (link), reigning in our co-host extraordinaire Dakotah Norton took longer than usual. Apparently, getting to the next race, interviews, physio appointments, and dinner all come before our podcast. Up against a tighter time crunch than usual, Tanner and I recorded the post-race show Tuesday, while Dakotah and I chatted after track walk on Wednesday to hear about his mediocre weekend in Austria and gain insight into what could be the gnarliest Val di Sole track we've seen in years. 0:00 - Intro2:08 - Dak Update and Leogang recap33:15 - Val di Sole track walk notes and thoughts51:04 - Debate over braking more with your rear or front brake58:09  - Discussing the live coverage from the weekend1:00:56 - Commentators this season 1:03:18 - 15 World Cups next year?1:05:15 - Privateers at World Cups in 20251:09:23 - Is interest in World Cup downhill less than it was during the Red Bull days?1:11:12 - Another chat about electronic suspension1:20:07 - Will we see electronic suspension systems in VDS?1:22:09 - Loic's cockpit buttons1:23:17 - Why pressing a lockout mid-run isn't that difficult1:26:42 - Podium payout complaints 1:32:34 - Maxxis Make or Brake Track Analysis1:38:50 - Junior Women - race recap1:43:05 - Val di Sole predictions1:46:21 - Junior Men - race recap1:59:36 - Val di Sole predictions2:04:36 - Elite Women - race recap2:14:37 - Val di Sole predictions2:18:18 - Elite Men - race recap2:32:50 - Val di Sole predictions2:35:41 - Burgtec Labour of Love

GoFundme to support Seton Tuning DH TeamPhil Seton, manager of Pole Factory Racing, shares the story of keeping his team alive after Pole Bikes went into administration a week before Fort William. All team budget was pulled and they were left with a decision to race or pack it up. Phil decided to use his personal money to get Onni Rainio and Dan Slack to Fort William and Poland. Onni had a personal best at Fort William and Dan Slack had his best-ever finish making finals and breaking the beam with a 28th in Poland. With the help of a GoFundMe, they're successfully attending Leogang this week and are halfway to earning enough money to race Les Gets. Jack Rice gets the scoop from Phil as race life rolls on!

What a start to the 2024 World Cup downhill season we've had! Fort William properly kicked things off with a gnarly track and insane racing, followed by a new venue in Poland that produced one of the best tracks and tightest races we've seen in years. Now, after a brief two-week pause, racing resumes this weekend in Leogang, Austria. A classic track that always delivers dramatic racing, there are exciting stories shaping up in each category that will be fun to watch play out over the weekend. Join Vital's own Jason Schroeder, ex-World Cup mechanic John Hall, and podcast co-host and contributing editor Tanner Stephens as they discuss who will contend for the win this weekend in each category, what makes the historic Leogang track so tricky, and highlight some potential dark horses who could mix things up come race day. 0:00 - Intro2:04 - Southwest Downhill Series this weekend 8:43 - Leogang venue & track analysis 13:33 - Is Leogang a bike park track? 17:48 - Why Leogang is so difficult in the wet20:17 - Breaking down the motorway section22:05 - John discusses Aaron Gwin's chainless win at Leogang in 2015  33:11 - A fan trying to sell John Aaron's broken chain for $3,000  38:25 - Weather report39:03 - Injured reserve list for this weekend 44:33 - Fantasy strategy49:10 - Junior Women race predictions57:28 - Junior Men race predictions1:04:15 - Elite Women predictions1:18:30 - Elite Men predictionsPlay Vital Downhill Fantasy - https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy More mountain bike news and reviews - https://www.vitalmtb.com

Alright, we're back in Leogang, a track the riders know well, where margins are tight. Will electronic suspension enable those that have it to find the previously illusive perfect setup for this track of differing styles? Is Hardline the best preparation for a World Cup and how are riders that haven't been racing since Poland keeping sharp coming into round 3? We'll answer all that and more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Leogang World Cup pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray.

From then on, Oisin's been on a bumpy road of ups and downs which would definitely be enough to rattle most people's confidence. However, Oisin has stuck to the process and shown what he's capable of by taking his first elite World Cup win in Snowshoe last season.

These awesome brands make The B Practice Podcast possible!Maxxis | Industry Nine | Burgtec​The B Practice Podcast is back! After some unfortunate technical difficulties last week that saw our post-Lenzerheide show evaporate from existence, the powers that be allowed our post-Leogang show to happen. Only two rounds into the UCI Downhill World Cup season, and we've been treated to tons of epic racing. We don't know if there has ever been a season with as close of racing and so many potential winners. As always, Dakotah Norton brings you between the tape with his trackside insights and breaks down the excitement from Lenzerheide and Leogang with Tanner Stephens and Jason Schroeder. In this episode, the crew discusses initial impressions of the new race format, thoughts on the new broadcasting, the impressive crop of talent spread across each category, first-time category winners, Rachel Atherton's legend status, and Loic Bruni's futuristic gear. Thank you so much for listening, and we will see everybody after Val di Sole in a few weeks! Enjoy!
