This weekend the World Cup rolled into Maribor for the first ever double-header race weekend. So, I’m joined by Eliot Jackson and Neko Mulally to chat all things Maribor. We find out first hand what it was like to be racing a double-header. We chat about the impact of the weather conditions, tyre choice and THAT triple! Hit play and get behind the scenes from the 2020 Maribor World Cup.

Hunt Bike Wheels

Hunt bike wheels strive to go above and beyond when serving riders, by applying forward-thinking ideas and the latest technologies to every wheelset. This is backed up with both in-house and Elite level athlete testing with riders such as Matt Stuttard, Jamie Edmonson and Becci Skelton. Their aim is simply to create the best wheels for each type of riding. 

Hunt bike wheels are available through your local bike shop or direct. So you can always rely on being able to speak to a person to access the parts, knowledge or servicing that you need in order to perform at the highest level day-in, day-out. So head to huntbikewheels.com to check out what they have to offer.
