We're honored to have Aaron Gwin back on The Inside Line podcast. He was on the show a few years back and with the World Cup Downhill in Les Gets on the horizon, we figured it was time to reconnect. In this episode we discuss his struggles at the first World Cup DH race in Les Gets, the challenges of being a podium-level racer now and if his training has changed over the years. Bike development with Intense is a topic of conversation as is being present on social media. Does he remain a bike racer only or does he share thoughts and questions about social and political ideas on Instagram? Enjoy the show as one of the fastest bike racers on the planet opens up.Cover photo by Dan HearnThank you to jensonusa.com for supporting the Inside Line for over 4 years now.
