2025 is already 30 days young and so much has happened. Join the Diverge Podcast as Seamus Allardice looks back on how the mountain biking season started at the Momentum Medical Scheme Attakwas Extreme, presented by Biogen, on the 18th of January and at what happened at the first Ford Trailseeker of the year on the 25th of January. Plus there’s some chat about Alan Hatherly’s enthusiasm for the year ahead on the road and MTB, as well as a look at how he’s going in the AlUla Tour in Saudi Arabia – where he finished 3rd behind Tom Pidcock on the only uphill finish of the 2025 race. Looking ahead the Momentum Medical Scheme Tankwa Trek, presented by Biogen, takes place from the 6th to the 9th of February, and it will be the first real test of form for the likes of Kate Courtney, Candice Lill, Lukas Baum, Georg Egger, and Matt Beers.
