Rob Warner made a name for himself with his rowdy riding between the tapes and party antics once the clock had stopped. 

After retiring from racing, he stepped into the world of commentary, covering action sports for the likes of Channel 4, Freecaster and Red Bull, with a voice synonymous with World Cup downhill racing.

We catch up with Rob to discuss starting out on Team MBUK back in the early 90s, what it was like to be the first Brit to win a DH World Cup during his first year riding for Giant Bicycles and how the sport and bikes have evolved over the years, for better or worse.

Rob talks about his love of commentary, how he got professional thanks to Red Bull and why he loved X-Fighters so much, as well as his favourite monarch of all time.
