What does it really take to manage a World Cup downhill team in 2025?

In this episode, Alan Milway, team manager of Norco Factory Racing and long-time performance coach joins Olly and Davi to unpack the chaos, structure, and behind-the-scenes secrets of running a top-tier MTB team. We dive into the logistics of back to back race weekends, what it’s like managing huge personalities like Danny Hart and Greg Minnaar, and the setup mistakes even elite riders still make. Alan also breaks down the impact of the new Q1/Q2 format, the $100K belt drive prize, and why Greg Minnaar continues to be one of the most relentless forces in the sport. From scouting new talent to controversial DSQs and what the sport really needs to evolve this one is packed!
