Calling all fans who just can’t wait for the return of the UCI MTB World Cup! Race Tapes Season 2, the show offering a unique behind the scenes view into the lives of the riders in the thick of the action, is available now on Red Bull TV.

With another blockbuster schedule of downhill and cross-country races starting on April 12 in Mairiporã, Brazil, Race Tapes Season 2 reconnects fans with last season’s climactic moments and sets the stage for what’s to come in 2024.

From GOAT Rachel Atherton’s spectacular winning return after having a baby to the relationship between emerging superstar Jackson Goldstone and his legendary teammate Greg Minnaar, and from Trek Factory Racing’s bold team rebuild to the rivalry of Swiss competitors Nino Schurter and Mathias Flückiger – no subject is off limits.
