About this episode

Markus Stöckl discusses his experiences in downhill racing, team management, and his passion for speed.

Markus Stöckl has spent decades at the sharp end of downhill racing. As the founder of MS Racing he’s worked with some of the sport’s biggest names, helped develop World Cup-winning riders and watched the sport evolve through multiple generations. Alongside that, he’s become one of mountain biking’s biggest advocates for pure speed, pushing the limits of what’s possible with record-breaking runs and a relentless fascination with going faster. In this episode we dive into everything he’s learned about performance, team management and developing riders, before exploring his passion for speed, what it takes to break records and where the limits of mountain biking really lie.
