Dak Nearly Becomes World Champion – Vital’s B Practice Podcast

Estimated read time 2 min read

Post Content

 

​ What could have been…our grassroots podcast almost came home with a World title in Andorra. We won’t say we are disappointed in our co-host superstar Stack-Attack-Dak for throwing it away in the second to last turn, but dang, did that one sting. This week, Jason Schroeder chats with Dak about his week in Andorra, what happened in his race run, the tuned mass dampers strapped to his bike, and how he’s dealing with the highs and lows of almost winning World Champs. Then, Tanner Stephens and John Hall jump on to discuss what stands out from Worlds, and who’s looking poised to have a strong result this weekend in Loudenvielle. Enjoy!
