The world’s best downhill mountain bikers gave the 2017 season one hell of a send off at, with Aaron Gwin and Myriam Nicole wrapping up the overalls, Loic Bruni claiming a second World Champ jersey and Miranda Miller surprising many to take her first.

But does that mean it’s all over now till next April? Do we now have to go back to watching Countryfile and trying to pick out lines behind Alan Titchmarsh’s head instead of riding?

The answer is no. And not just because Alan Titchmarsh doesn’t present Countryfile.
