The True Scale Of Factory Downhill World Cup Race Teams!

Описание: FMD Racing have been a constant presence at World Cup Downhill races since 2009.

But with extra buy-in from brands, more staff, and bigger budgets comes an increase in the pressure for the athletes under the awning to perform, in what is already a high-pressure sport. Here's what it REALLY takes to run a World Cup Downhill Team...
