Press launches are often accompanied by a cohort of pro riders representing the brand and when Hannah went to the Canyon global press camp earlier this year the place was awash with riding talent. Hannah took to opportunity to talk to some of the notable names on hand and recorded this Desert Island Disk Brakes episode with Canyon Pro Freerider, Samantha Soriano.

After the interview we have a bonus feature for you in the form of an audio version of a column from a recent issue of Singletrack World magazine.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is.
