Wyn Masters Talks Shifting Focus, Secret Elite DH Performance Hacks, E-Bikes & Wyn TV's future

Wyn Masters joins the show to talk about his move to Focus Bikes, how he's “shifting focus” after 17 years on the World Cup circuit, and why cooking lunch with your bike brand might be the ultimate vibe check. We dive deep into Wyn TV’s evolution, e-bike warm-up secrets, caffeine fuelled race prep, Jackson Goldstone's unconventional setup, and the psychology of qualifying. Plus, Wyn shares behind-the-scenes stories from the privateer project, why he skipped Andorra, and his dream of being a jockey.
