The four-part series will air on Warner Bros. Discovery across mainland Europe (via Eurosport) and the UK and Ireland (via TNT Sports) as well as its streaming platforms HBO Max and discovery+*.
The first episode airs on Monday 14 July at 18:00 CEST (check local listings) with an in-depth look at Steve Peat’s Santa Cruz V10 on which he won the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra in 2009. Four-time UCI Downhill World Champion Greg Minnaar and current UCI Downhill World Cup star Jackson Goldstone contribute to the 30-minute programme.

Ric McLaughlin, Producer, Director and Presenter of Race Bikes, said: “Race Bikes is a global passion project—created by a bike geek, for bike geeks. It’s a celebration of some of the world’s most extraordinary bikes and the remarkable people behind them, and I hope viewers enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
