Amaury Pierron – Working With RockShox to Win World Cups
While I was out in New Zealand, I caught up with Amaury Pierron to unpack the highs and lows of the past couple of seasons. From those incredible wet-weather wins at the Val di Sole and Les Gets World Cups, to breaking his collarbone in La Thuile and then coming back to take the win in Lenzerheide later that season.
Then we’re joined by SRAM Race Tech Craig Miller and RockShox long-travel product manager Jason Blodgett to go deeper into how they work alongside Amaury and the Commencal Muc-Off Team to find World Cup-winning pace.
We get into some of the latest RockShox tech and explore how a close athlete/engineer relationship not only benefits those at the top of the sport, but also us everyday riders.
This is a rare insight into the relationship between athlete and engineer at the sharpest end of the sport. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Amaury Pierron, Craig Miller and Jason Blodgett.
