Скачать или смотреть Inside Nukeproof Axess Racing: The Tough Season That Changed Everything

Axess Intense Factory Racing had one of the most intense seasons in the World Cup paddock. Big results, big pressure, and some brutal setbacks behind the scenes. In this episode, Joe Breeden and Olly Morris open up about the reality of running a modern downhill programme when injuries, uncertainty, and budget stress collide.

They talk through the moment a concussion derailed early season plans, the pressure of keeping a small team functioning at World Cups, and the emotional toll that comes with trying to perform while holding everything together. Joe also shares how close the team came to falling short financially, and why that pressure forced them to get creative, build new support systems, and rethink what the future needed to look like.

Then the conversation turns to the next chapter. With stronger partners, a bigger budget, and a long-term plan in place, the team enters 2026 reborn as Nukeproof Axess Racing. This is the inside story of how a tough season shaped a serious new era.
