"Anybody who suggests that carbs make you fat shou "Anybody who suggests that carbs make you fat should be forbidden from interacting with athletes. The science is so misunderstood and is doing significant damage to the health and wellbeing of so many riders. 

It’s so much more complex than that, but it’s also really simple if people take the time to learn the basics. Stop it, please."

FAREWELL 🍺 We’re bidding a fond farewell to t FAREWELL 🍺 We’re bidding a fond farewell to two long-standing members of our family today. 

#teamwideopenmag’s @chrishutchensmtb and @christo_g are moving on to pastures new for 2021 and will announce their plans in the next couple of days.

Building talent is the reason we do what we do with our team... and with that comes the opportunity to help talented riders move onwards to bigger and better things. So, never wanting to stand still, we’re stoked to see the guys push forward and step up their racing to a new level.

Thanks to Hutch and Christo for some amazing years of riding, racing and creating. We’re proud to have worked with you 👊

And thanks, of course, to all of our sponsors. Not least:
