Downtime: Loïc Bruni

RedBull catch up with French flyer Loïc Bruni as he prepares his assault on the 2014 UCI World Cup.

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

First up we have French flyer Loïc "Brownie" Bruni. Having dominated the Junior ranks in 2012, a successful 2013 followed as Loïc established himself as a genuine threat to the top spots. Joining the exodus of riders that have headed south to New Zealand over the last two months, Loïc's been getting his head down and is looking for more success in 2014.

Check out the Lapierre Gravity Republic team film Life on Wheels for a look into Loïc's 2013 World Cup season.

And, remember, you can watch the first round of the 2014 UCI DH World Cup on Saturday, April 12, live and exclusive right here on RedBull.com.
