Rob Warner on the early years of racing, getting into commentary, Red Bull X-Fighters and his favourite bike of all time
This episode is sponsored by Giant Bicycles.
Rob Warner made a name for himself with his rowdy riding between the tapes and party antics once the clock had stopped.
After retiring from racing, he stepped into the world of commentary, covering action sports for the likes of Channel 4, Freecaster and Red Bull, with a voice synonymous with World Cup downhill racing.
We catch up with Rob to discuss starting out on Team MBUK back in the early 90s, what it was like to be the first Brit to win a DH World Cup during his first year riding for Giant Bicycles and how the sport and bikes have evolved over the years, for better or worse.
Rob talks about his love of commentary, how he got professional thanks to Red Bull and why he loved X-Fighters so much, as well as his favourite monarch of all time.

Former MBUK legend Andrew ‘Doddy’ Dodd on his amazing career in MTB media
Andrew ‘Doddy’ Dodd has been a familiar face to pretty much anyone who has read, watched or listened to mountain bike content.
Following a work experience placement at MBUK as a teenager, he was a staple part of the team for well over a decade, writing features, attending launches and going on some legendary trips.
When he left the mag for Factory Jackson, fate took him into TV and eventually GMBN Tech, where he became a globally recognised figure. More recently, he has worked for Mondraker on their communications.
In his own words, he’s a mega-fan of both MBUK and mountain biking in general – a real legend of the scene.
