World Champion mountain bike racer descends in Antibes

Loic Bruni in Redbull TV's latest film 'Night Chase'

featured in News & reviews Author Pam Williamson, Antibes Editor Updated

The reigning World Champion of Downhill Mountain Biking, 23-year-old Loic Bruni, hails from the town of Cagnes-Sur-Mer not far from Antibes.

In Redbull TV's latest epic adventure they send Bruni back to his hometown and we see him being chased down through the wooded slopes of Cagnes-sur-Mer by an unknown glowing craft... 

The nighttime project brought with it many difficulties for filming and special equipment had to be used in order to capture the footage. Not only this but riding at night on the dark trails of the Riviera was not an easy task for the rider. Luckily for Redbull they chose not only one of the world's top riders but also a native to the region and someone who has grown up riding these exciting trails. 

We wouldn't suggest that you try riding at night but if you fancy trying out some mountain biking along the Riviera then check out flights, accommodation and our Guide to Mountain Biking.
