Reece Wilson: From Factory Rider to AON Racing Team Owner, The State of Downhill & More

Reece Wilson is in studio for a well overdue podcast!

Former Downhill World Champion Reece Wilson joins the podcast for a deep dive into his career so far, from his switch from motocross to downhill to the highs and lows of racing at the elite level. We discuss his decision to leave a secure factory contract to build his own team, Aon Racing.

Reece opens up becoming a part owner of GAMUX, the challenges of building a race program from scratch, insights in to the evolution of training for downhill, dealing with major injuries, and his thoughts on the future of the sport under Warner Bros. Discovery. Plus, much more...
