How good is Specialized Racing’s Loïc Bruni at riding a downhill race bike? There are plenty of numbers which will give you a hint, such as his six UCI World Championships wins for example. Or his two UCI World Cup overall title wins. Or his 12 wins from 55 UCI World Cup podiums.

But it’s when you see him ride a track like Fort William, one of the oldest and roughest of them all, from his point of view, that you get a clear picture of just how deep his talent runs.

The new look UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup coverage for 2023 is set to offer fans, both old and new, more racing than ever before.
