My name’s Austin Dooley, I’m 23 years old, and I ride for Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres.
I currently live in Tennessee, United States. Originally, I spent my whole life in California but recently moved east in March of this year. I grew up racing motocross before switching to downhill mountain biking at age 14—and I haven’t looked back since!

Sina Frei (Specialized Factory Racing) and Dario Lillo (Giant Factory Off-road Team - XC) took two of the hardest-fought UCI Cross-country Olympic (XCO) World Cup victories in recent years at the opening round of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in South Korea.

A historic opener to the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in South Korea saw Asa Vermette (Frameworks Racing / TRP) claim a sensational Elite debut victory while Vali Höll (Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres) triumphed despite a flat tyre. On a demanding brand-new course, Junior wins for Aletha Ostgaard (Canyon DH Racing) and Jonty Williamson (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) capped a thrilling start to the season.

The South Korean venue will welcome the UCI Cross-country World Cup to the continent for the first time, while UCI Downhill World Cup returns after a 25-year absence
