With 25 World Cup victories and four World Championship titles, Brian Lopes has won more races than any other mountain biker.
When he stayed with the Mountain Biking UK crew over summer we found out what makes this seemingly unstoppable machine tick...
It's not uncommon to see a grown man sweating in the presence of Brian Lopes. His legendary first straight made four-cross riders quake, his skills make downhill racers shake their heads, and his overriding urge to be the best has been fazing people out for years.
