Loic Bruni Interviews Martin Maes - Outspoken Episode 8 6

Days before the 2019 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, current DH champ, Loic Bruni spends some time with Enduro World Series racer, Martin Maes. Though Martin focuses on enduro racing, he is in Mont-Sainte-Anne to compete in the downhill event at Worlds. Last year, the young Belgian mountain bike racer won the La Bresse World Cup downhill even though he was competing in a full EWS season. Loic and Martin discuss World Championships, returning to racing at the Northstar EWS after a suspension due to the recent doping incident Martin went through, and what it means to be a world-class MTB competitor.

Two great champions, what other sport would you get such honesty and modesty. I am proud to ride mtb. Well done Vital and RedBull.

I wonder if Redbull athletes take masking agents to disguise the fact that none of them drink Redbull. No I didn’t watch the interview.

So much tension at the start of this interview. Then it got great. So much insight. My favorite so far.

Crazy that they wanted him to pay for his jersey. I am pretty sure they made Stevie pay 60 bucks for his jersey in 2010 at MSA.
What a well spoken guy, nice to see him have a chat with the WC. I agree about Sam, he use to go balls out in DH but family changes things.
