Aaron Gwin
Despite a second-consecutive disappointing world championship run — his chances ruined by brake failure and a resultant crash — Aaron Gwin is still unquestionably the most talented and consistent rider in downhill mountain biking.Gwin finished the 2012 season with four victories across the calendar, and was rarely off the podium. He floored it through the wildly long and physical course at Val di Sole in Italy, slid through the slick mud of Fort William, Scotland, and flew down the steep slopes of Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, and the rocky features of Windham Mountain in New York, taking commanding wins at each.
