"In the summer, I got a call from Red Bull asking whether I'd like to join Ester's team. For me, it was an honour, because she's a real star. I said yes because I can bring some of my own experience from the downhill. I started working with Ester in Chile, and it's been going well ever since," says the 63-year-old Mair.
