Video: Wyn Masters' Privateer Project Episode 2 with Taylor Vernon

Aug 18, 2023
by GT Bicycles  

In the latest episode of the Privateer Project, Wyn Masters gives an update on his injury sustained in Lenzerheide and dives into what he's been doing to offer as much support as possible to riders chasing their World Cup dreams.

Then, it's on to DH World Cup Rd. 2 in Leogang, where Taylor Vernon joins the team. Taylor is a vet to the sport, spending his younger years on factory teams, including GT. The 26-year-old rider from Wales is supported mostly by his dad, Jason, who travels, wrenches, and helps in any way necessary.

 So good to see people remember how tuff making your way up is and helping others. Wyn good on you Taylor is a ripper. He has had some wicked results the last few years. Will never forget the noise when he crashed and hurt his back years ago back when he was with the Athertons.

 I think Taylor got burned on the GT Team back then. I wasn't a fan, because it seemed to be too much off a artifical hype around him, but looking at the state of junior racing now he was maybe just unlucky to be too early on the circuit. I also love underdog stories so I was following him the last year or two and was happy for him that he got good results. Cheers and race on!

 I don't think it was artificial hype, TV won a world cup as a junior against Loris and Luca. He had that bad crash in VDS in his first junior year and that was a setback in my opinion. Anyway hope he gets factory support for the next season.
