The first round of the 2022 Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup is in Lourdes this weekend, so we’re kicking off the race season by chatting with coach to the starts, Chris Kilmurray aka PointOne Athletic. We chat about the build-up, the importance of pre-season racing. Hear about the demands of the track and the impact of temperature on the bikes. We also cover psychology, who’s looking quick, some of the new technology trends we expect to see this season and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Chris Kilmurray.
