WATCH: WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series Gravity season preview

Join Josh Carlson and Ric McLaughlin get excited ahead of the Gravity season opener in Fort William.

It won’t be long now before the world-famous Fort William finish bowl reignites in a barrage of noise as the world’s fastest athletes begin to hit the finish line of one of the most feared tracks in downhill racing. Fort William is a special track, the second oldest on the calendar, it has more than played host to its fair share of history over the years.  

Join our roving reporter Josh Carlson and lead commentator Ric McLaughlin as they look at what promises to be an amazing season ahead. Last season was one of the most open in a generation and so there’s plenty to chat about as some exciting new tracks mix with established classics on the calendar.   

The pair caught up to record this season preview a few weeks ago at the UCI headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland.  

Don’t forget that you can be there amidst the noise and chaos of race day in Fort William, Scotland 03-05 May. Tickets are on sale now.
