We are getting pretty close to the 2023 Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup kicking off and recently ESO held a test event in Lourdes, France. Chris Kilmurray was there, so we had a catch-up to find out what went on. Who was looking fast and can we read anything into the results? What were ESO testing and how were the changes received by the riders? Also, we chat about some of the team changes and what ‘world class’ looks like as we head rapidly into the 2023 season. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Chris Kilmurray.
You can also watch this episode on my YouTube channel here.
