NICOLAS VOUILLOZ

There’s never been a male racer who can match the amazing career of France’s Nicolas Vouilloz. Nico’s reserved, professional approach may not have made him the most popular of riders with the fans, but it gained him 10 DH world titles between 1992 and 2002, despite being up against such titans as Steve Peat and Fabien Barel. Retiring from the sport in his 20s when he was still at the top of his game, he went on to have a successful career in rallying. He now helps Lapierre Bikes with product development, runs their enduro team and races on the EWS-E e-bike circuit.
