Stepping Up and Surgery With Jay Cracknell
byAshley de Lotz

Welcome to The A Line Podcast, the ultimate XC mountain biking podcast for racers, coaches, and fans. Covering Short Track, Olympic, and Marathon disciplines, we dive deep into the riders and races, offering educational and entertaining insights into the world of cross-country mountain biking. Tune in for everything XC MTB!

In this episode, I chat to Jay Cracknell, a Jersey-based rider who has been flying this year until an unfortunate burst appendix changed his plans. We have a brilliant discussion around how Jay has come up through the sport and what changes he has made over the last winter/season to really up his game.
