WYN MASTERS PRIVATEER PROJECT | EP. 1 ROGER VIEIRA

Meet Roger Vieira, 28-year-old DH racer hailing from Brazil and currently residing in the UK. Roger was chosen by Wyn Masters as the first rider for the Privateer Project this year based on his performance last season. Roger was the recipient of the Privateer Award in Mont-Saint-Anne and finished 42nd overall for the season; an impressive feat for a self-funded athlete.
Roger is a rider's rider, known for using every corner of the track to gain the smoothest lines, his approach to racing is something special.
After a string of bad luck, losing his job, and having his dirt bike and ebike stolen out of his garage, the news of getting full factory support and a fresh DH bike couldn't have come at a better time.
Take a closer look at Roger's journey through the start of the World Cup season and what it meant to receive the extra support from Wyn and the Privateer Project team.

The Privateer Project, is simply, hands down the best thing to happen to DH in years. This is what life is about.

[@GTBicycles1]

Thank you for the kind words! It's been a lot of fun getting meet and work with so many new talented riders.

[@Sjzinn]

Agreed! If the powers running this sport could get that harnessed they would have all the results they are working for.

[@PowderCaptain]

Everyone supporting this project is a legend!

[@GTBicycles1]

Appreciate you 👊

[@Ganiscol]

Giving hidden diamonds a chance to break out and shine can have a lasting impact on a person and is one of those few things that truly matter in professional sports.
Wyn is such a generous guy and big props to GT for supporting him in supporting these privateers in chasing their dream! ❤

[@GTBicycles1]

It's awesome getting to work with so many new people and learn their stories. We're stoked to share more throughout the year.

[@BgRdDg40]

I love everything about this. I actually have really been wanting to see what's been happening with it. Great project I hope this goes forever

[@GTBicycles1]

Thank you! We'll be rolling out new episodes all year, telling the stories of all the incredible riders we get to work with through the project.

[@duckbikeBrasil]

É lindo ver um brasileiro no downhill, e é mais emocionante ver um brasileiro no downhill pilotando uma GT Fury . GT is the best!

[@andrew8957]

Wyn is a legend anyways but putting this concept together to help these riders is something else. Roger is a class act. Keep up the amazing work Wyn and all involved and let’s have it Roger!

[@motorex182]

Congrats to GT and Wyn for setting up such project. Hope this can incentivize other brands going in the same direction. Go Roger!

[@GTBicycles1]

Stoked to keep it going. 🙏

[@havardarnstad]

The Privateer Project might be the best thing that happened to Downhill in 2023 🤩 Thanks Wyn and GT 💪🤙❤️

[@GTBicycles1]

Thank you! We're stoked to support Wyn and his vision for the Privateer Project. 👊

[@andreasvaja3580]

The Privateer award is the best thing happening to downhill, thats what the sport is about and not about semifinals and reducing the field to 30 riders.

[@kolt4d559]

Thank you Wyn and GT for putting the Privateer Project together. It encompasses everything that makes DH one of the greatest sports on the planet.
And Mista Ed getting the all the money shots from the first few rounds.

[@stevesaunders9132]

Love the privateer project. Wyn is a legend. Shame the help ended his season . Such a good rider.

[@adrianwilkinson2547]

❤❤❤ THIS! The Steve Peat Syndicate planted a seed that grew. The Athertons’ created the perfect growing environment. Wyn and GT helping feeding and nurturing. Just wait until they blossom!!! 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌎

[@fabiovaldesaraneda2012]

ty for reaching back and give back a little to the people in need

[@jokermtb]

Roger is a terrific rider - always fun to watch his runs down the course - He's doing great in the 2023 season so far. Been on a couple GT Sensors since 2012, and it's great to see my bike brand supporting the sport I love, going way beyond what anyone would expect. This is what mtb is all about.

[@GTBicycles1]

Roger is the best, it was great having him in the pits. Thank you for your support and have fun out there! 👊

[@serenidadypaciencia]

Kudos to GT and Wyn for this awsome project. I just purchased a GT force, and im sure also my next one will be a GT

[@GTBicycles1]

Hell yeah! Have fun out there. 👊

[@armrenan]

[@ejej6934]

The support is just for one race, isn't it? So there will be other riders featured in future episodes if any of them are the top performing privateers at other WC races.
Best wishes to Roger this year, and huge thanks to Wyn, GT, and all the great sponsors making this happen.

[@GTBicycles1]

Yes, support is for one race. We will feature each rider selected to the project in individual episodes to tell their story.
