Red Bull TV series follows likes of stars Courtney, Goldstone, Höll and Pidcock.

Ahead of the 2023 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup season start this weekend at Nové Město in the Czech Republic, Red Bull TV will screen a new docuseries called Race Tapes from May 9 which follows the stories of the world's best riders as they turn a passion for cycling into a career of racing. Here is all you need to know:

- Race Tapes is the evolution of the highly successful Fast Life docuseries on Red Bull TV, which followed elite stars Kate Courtney, Loic Bruni and Finn Iles on their respective UCI World Cup journeys.

- The new six-episode series covers some of the biggest cycling names such as Austrian Vali Höll, Swiss legend XCO Nino Schurter, American Aaron Gwin as well as young Britons Tom Pidcock and Evie Richards.

- From downhill to road cycling, the riders reflect on their journeys so far as they head into the 2023 season where they hope to unseat the likes of reigning 2022 champions Amaury Pierron of France and Swiss trio Schurter, Camille Balanche and Alessandra Keller from their thrones.
