What It Actually Takes to Host a UCI World Cup | KENAEL GODDE - Ep#77

Kanael Godde is an elite bike trials rider from France - and the man who built the UCI World Cup round in Dole almost entirely from scratch, funded by private sponsors, and organised largely by himself. In this episode of The Shin Dig Podcast, Kanael breaks down exactly how you take a city with no trials scene and turn it into a World Cup host. We go deep on the full budget, sourcing obstacles from quarries, the 3am gate-setting sessions when nobody was answering his calls, and the €1,000 the city contributed to an €80,000 event.If you've ever wondered what actually goes into putting on a trials competition - this is the honest, unglamorous, completely fascinating answer.Dole World Cup - Round 1 🇫🇷May 8–10, 2026 Follow Kanael: @kenaelgodde
