bigquotesThe commitment, graft and passion it takes to race self-supported at the highest level fills us with admiration, and the wild stories that emerge are always worth a listen. In this episode of Life of a Privateer we share the story of Janis Lehmann and Constantin Reutsch, two Swiss students getting an education in life, travel and DH World Cups.

 Nice, but you should not leave out the South Americans who have to travel from the other side of the world plus, also consider how little their local coins are worthcompared to GBP, Euros or USD (like 4-5 times less). Hurray South American privateers! I mean, is it easy to ride with balls soooo big? Do you need a special saddle?

 Those of us who live near WC venues should set up some kind of free/super cheap accommodation option for privateers... Who's keen?
