Englishman Danny Hart smashed the competition at this year’s downhill mountain bike championship in Champery Switzerland, but someone else stole the show.

Danny Hart creaming his opponents by at least twelve seconds at this years downhill mountain bike championship in Champery, Switzerland was a spectacle to enjoy, but the audio commentary of Rob Warner and Martin Whiteley was some show stealing stuff.

We don’t hear much from the dark and mysterious world that is downhill mountain biking, but when we do it’s either a spectacular crash or an amazing jump. Not this time.

Rob Warner and Martin Whiteley go, what can only be described as ‘ape shit’, for their favourite man to win the race. Listing to the lads makes you feel closer to the action than watching the video. If only their passion could be bottled and given to some less than acceptable commentators.

Hart is well known in the mountain biking world for his neck breaking speed on a down hill bike, designed to withstand greater knocks and shocks than your average bike. Rob Warner and Martin Whiteley are also well known for their ‘not so professional’ commentating.
