Bike Radar calls 2011 World Champion Downhill Mountain Bike rider Danny Hart "the most technically gifted and stylish racer in the world". 20 year old Danny cemented his title with his legendary run in Champery, Switzerland in September was currently defending his title's rainbow stripes until an injury at Les Deux Alpes put him out of contention. As British Cycling puts it: "Sometimes in the career of a top sportsman, there comes a day when everything comes together and a performance of near perfection results." |
Judge Danny's skills for yourself in this hysterical 3 minute commentary of his run which has gone down in YouTube history as legendary in itself. | |
About Anna... | Danny will be interviewed by racing cyclist Anna Glowinski, presenter of ITV's Cycle Show & head designer for cycle style brand, AnaNichoola. |

Cycling's in Anna's blood. She rides for Team Mule Bar, dabbling in all disciplines - track, road, MTB, BMX and Downhill - as long as it has two-wheels she'll be on it! Recently she's even been on tour with Scottish stunt team The Clan (founded by YouTube sensation Danny MacAskill). |
