This week it's election time. We voted and we hope you did too. I this week's episode Mark reminisces about past Passporte du Soleil events and how one fellow journo didn't even make it to the start line. Benji gives us a load of new info on the 15th Specialized Stumpjumper that has just launched and Hannah has just come back from the Bespoked hand built bike show and was hugely impressed.

Desert Island Disc Brakes is our interview format for the pro riders we keep bumping into. It is a 'tribute' to other similar formats you may have heard on the radio.This week Hannah talks to pro rider Josh Bryceland about his life as a DH racing pro around the world discussing everything from his mythical house boat to comparisons of life with donuts and salad.

Hannah chats to racers and their support crew at the British National Downhill Series, Round 2, at Fort William. Thanks to the Scottish Downhill Association for making it happen!

George has been up to Fort William to chat to folks in the pits before the racing kicks off. He's also sent us a very interesting collection of photos. Enjoy, sports fans!
