Downhill Camp with Aaron Gwin in The Epic Bikepark Leogang

Over the years, the UCI Downhill World Cup in Saalfelden Leogang has witnessed spectacular racing and truly incredible stories. No one has however left a mark on the event as lasting as Aaron Gwin.

Next to four wins in eight years, including a three-in-a-row winning streak from 2015-2017, the American Downhill racer is probably best remembered in Saalfelden Leogang for his spectacular chainless winning run in 2015. Considering his success at this iconic location, it’s no surprise that he considers the `Speedster’ his favorite race track on the World Cup circuit. But how does the five-time World Cup Overall Champion manage to climb to the top of the podium in Leogang year after year?
