Under the title The Ride Behind the Race, it focuses on the quiet but essential side of top-class sport - on technology, tinkering and the interaction between man and machine.

Because millimetres, clicks and seconds are decisive in modern cross-country sport today. This is impressively demonstrated in this episode. Riders Alessandra Keller, Mathias Flückiger, Vital Albin and Lars Forster, together with team mechanic Gavin Black and product manager Markus Eggimann, provide a rare insight into the daily detailed work on the perfect race bike.

Markus Eggimann explains: "We think in terms of production cycles of two to three years. And yet we give our all every day - with passion, expertise and the goal of becoming just that little bit better." Lars Forster confirms that this effort pays off: "Our current bike, the Lightrider R3 Worldcup, is one of the lightest in the World Cup - and it rides like a dream on the downhill. That's exactly what gives us the crucial tenths in every race situation."

The Ride Behind the Race is a tribute to all those moments when precision, not applause, counts. A story about high-tech, dedication - and the invisible work that makes victories possible.
