Downtime: Cam Cole

We catch up with the bruised but not broken Cam Cole as he prepares for the 2014 UCI World Cup.

With the 2014 UCI World Cup season almost upon us we've been hanging out with the world's fastest racers to get an eyeful of what they've been up to in the off-season.

The second part of our series takes us down to New Zealand to visit Cam Cole. A hefty crash at the Andorran round of the 2013 World Cup brought an inpromptu end to his season before it had really got going. Airlifted from the trackside, it was one of the most serious crashes of the year and had fans around the world fearing for the likeable big Kiwi.

We catch up with Cam about the road to recovery, getting back on his bike and riding some of the best trails in the world every day.
