Aaron Gwin trains for the World Cup season

Intense Factory Racing, and their drone pilot, hit warp speed in pre-season riding

Aaron Gwin Red Bull

Excitement is growing for the return of World Cup downhill racing. One person who everyone’s watching is Aaron Gwin. The American five-time World Cup champion is always the centre of attention, for his prolific winning and for his ability to pull victories of the most improbable situations.

This season, the Gwin hype is further amplified by his move to a new team for 2019. The American has returned home, in a manner of speaking, to race for Intense Factory Racing. Fellow American Neko Mulally follows Gwin to the new team. They join the lone remaining Intense Factory Racing rider from previous years, Australian Jack Moir.

The full team was together in Lake Elsinore, California putting in some trail time before the first World Cup of the season. Go behind the scenes with Gwin and Intense Factory Racing to see how one of the fastest World Cup racers ever gets ready for the season.
