The Downtime Podcast

Thibaut Ruffin runs possibly the most successful downhill race team on the planet right now, Commencal Muc-Off. With riders like Myriam Nicole, Thibaut Dapréla and Amaury Pierron, Thibaut and the team have gone on to take 4 team overall wins in the last 5 years. Hear how Thibaut started his own race career and how his team, Riding Addiction began. We chat about what it’s taken to grow the team over the years to go from a privateer setup to the biggest team in the paddock. I ask Thibaut his thoughts on concussion, the ESO takeover for 2023, the growing importance of testing and much more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Thibaut Ruffin. You can follow the team throughout the season on Instagram @commencal_mucoff. You can watch the episode on YouTube here.
