A Racer's Dream by Hutchinson UR UCI Elite Downhill mountain biking team.
This is a movie that shows downhill mountain biking from a different point of view. Hutchinson UR team is used to making web videos that show a lot of the fun and the bright side of mountain bike racing, with the traveling, the riding and the podiums. A Racer's Dream gives you an insight on all of the above but also shows the other side of the sport with the injuries, the doubts, the research and development, the hard training, the preparation and at the end, the ruthless judgement of the clock.
Follow closely Mick and Tracey Hannah, Fabien Cousinié and Guillaume Cauvin through 14 months of preparation towards their biggest goal of the year : The Downhill World Championships in South Africa.
Becoming World Champion is a racer's dream, it's their dream.

Good luck for the next season.
why big team like Specialized, Trek don't make video like that ?
and where is Holly Feniak ?
Holly Feniak spent the majority of the year out with an injury.
in the video we never see Holly,
anyway it's doesn't matter there is Tracey :>
The confidence of last season + some tracks that are just tailor-made for him:
PMB first, then Cairns, which is where he trains, Fort Bil, Leogang, and MSA, which are all really pedally tracks.
And then, there's Hafjell for Worlds, and if this time he doesn't overshoot the monster road gap, I reckon he could do it (don't forget he qualified 2nd this year).
Go Mick!
I fhe had been just a little less nervous at the bottom, he'd be wearing his rainbow stripes at the moment.
Was disappointed not to see anything about or even a mention of holly. She was out most of the season but there was lots to talk bout her, New team rider, big name in the Jnrs, stepping upto elite, Big crashes in fort William. Even places where she did attend she wasnt seen. It does seem like they tried to purposely cut her out of it. You saw her in two shots which were sort if unavoidable. But even when talking riders never mentioned her name and no mention of another female rider or even acknologments. I found that really slack to do that.
Aside from that which I found a massive downfall to cut someone out, the film however was great. I would have liked to see more insight into training and that but that's kept hush these days.
