Thibaut Dapréla – The Future is Bright - a podcast by Downtime MTB

This week I’m joined by one of the most exciting mountain bike riders on the planet, Thibaut Dapréla. Thibaut made the jump up from juniors to elites look pretty easy and right from the start has been a serious podium threat. After getting off to a great start in the 2021 overall, Thibaut had an incredible rollercoaster ride through the season which involved nearly bitting off the end of his tongue, and arriving on the final podium of the season on crutches, fresh from the hospital. We sat down last week to find out more about this talented young rider. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Thibaut Dapréla.

Supporting Partners







CushCore







I’ve been using CushCore for a few years now and yeah they help protect your rims, but what I really love is what they do to the way the bike rides. The bike is more damped, it rolls faster and maintains momentum better over rough terrain. They really do allow you to go bigger, corner harder, and ride faster with total confidence.







CushCore have amassed 24 EWS wins and 94 podiums. In World Cup downhill they have 27 wins 96 podiums, 7 world championships and 3 world cup overall champions. Pretty impressive eh!







If you want to go bigger, corner harder and ride faster with total confidence then cushcore.com is the place to head.







Magura







I've been really impressed with the Magura MT7 Pro brakes that I've been using for the last couple of months. What's even better is the ability to tune the brakes to be prefect for you with their #customizeyourbrake options for performance, ergonomics and aesthetics.
