About this episode
Today we’re going behind the scenes of Red Bull Race Tapes, which has been called the ‘Drive to Survive’ of mountain biking. I’m in the Race Tapes studio with producer Romain Dompnier, to find out what goes into making this insanely good series. Hear the background of how Race Tapes came to be and how they get such incredible access and insight that we don’t tend to see elsewhere. How do they approach the more controversial subjects and rivalries and have they ever upset anyone in the process? What goes into choosing the stories that they will follow, what can we expect from the 2024 season and plenty more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Race Tapes producer, Romain Dompnier. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here .
