The 2010 European downhill champion, Robin Wallner is on a road trip through Spain and Portugal this month with his brother Niklas and his friend André Bertilsson.After racing the DH Cup at Sant Andreu (Barcelona), and with the help of Hugo Garzon from El Gallo components, they decided to come to Madrid and ride some trails. On Monday we met them in the Madrid mountains. The weather wasn't great, but we did what we could under a little cold rain...
Enjoy the video from Dirtyflows:
Getting ready for a cold morning in Madrid
Fighting with tight corners
Looking for ways to cross the river without drowning in the attempt
Discovering new trails they had never ridden
Robin and Niklas are in real shape
Andre Bertilsson in the fog
Secret meeting in the woods
The snow melts, crossing rivers is not an easy task
A little break to shoot the bike
Having fun on the lawn
Long way up after a hard morning

You can tell who the "weaker" (in relative terms he's still loads better than me!) rider is though!
Sweet looking switchback trails with lots of roots, by the way. Is that close to Madrid? Same mountain range as the Bola del Mundo that was featured in the Vuelta's penultimate stage in 2010?
