In 2023, Amaury Pierron and Myriam Nicole – two of downhill mountain biking’s biggest stars – faced a nightmare: Amaury with a broken neck and Myriam with a severe concussion, both sidelined for an entire season and staring down the possibility of never returning to world-class racing.
Two remarkable racers, two incredible comebacks, two superb documentary films as Amaury Pierron and Myriam Nicole fight from career-threatening injuries back to the top step of the World Cup podium.
RACER follows the true stories of their battles to reclaim their place as the fastest riders in the World. It is a wild ride of aching lows and ecstatic highs which digs into the depths of the sport’s unique character, as well as that of the racers. High-risk elite sport pits a machine-like strength and skill with the fragility of the human body and mind, and the close and trusting relationship between production team and the riders allows the viewer to see it all.
“Super stoked to have this documentary of my 2024 season because it was a nightmare, and now we have the chance to see really how tough it was, even if it didn’t look that way. I’ll be happy to watch it when I’m a Grandpa!”” – Amaury Pierron, 2x World Cup overall winner
