Marcelo Gutierrez is the most successful Downhill Mountain Biker in Colombia. It was not an easy road out of Colombia onto the world stage. Marcelo managed to get multiple World Cup podiums and become the king of the most grueling downhill race known as Garbonza Downhill at the Crankworx festival. Winning at the highest level for Marcelo was not quite enough. He lost his passion for the sport and competiting knowing there was more to life.   After 12 years on the circuit, he has chosen to step away and is building cycling and mountain biking in South America as an ambassador for brands. He still competes at some select events. It was a fascinating and thought-provoking episode.
