Loïc Bruni blasting down Fort William

Specialized Racing’s many-raindow’d makes one of the roughest DHI tracks in the world look fairly smooth.

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. We will be showing the new semi final format which will see racers battle it out to make the all-important finals whilst we will also be broadcasting the Junior races and streaming them live for the first time.  

Excited for the start of the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup season, this weekend? You should be. Don’t forget that you can catch all the action from Lenzerheide, Switzerland on GCN+, Eurosport and discovery+ plus loads of free content on the UCI Mountain Bike World Series YouTube channel.
