Team Monster Energy Iron Horse Set For Sea Otter

quarta-feira, 16 de abril de 2008

This coming weekend sees the unofficial season opener for the North American mountain bike race season, and Team Monster Energy Iron Horse will be in attendance yet again, but this year with a new line up.

20 year old Brendan Fairclough (UK) joins 4 time World Champion Sam Hill (AUS), to form an all male line up contesting the full World Cup series as well as other key events throughout the season.

The team will get into Monterey Tuesday night and be on site from Wednesday, stretching legs on a XC ride after the long haul flights from London and Perth. Both riders will compete in the Downhill and Dual Slalom, and use the events as an opportunity to check out the 2008 bikes and set-up in race conditions. The event is mainly used by the team to launch the new gear, rider clothing and of course to interact with the fans. The actual Downhill race is not high on the list of target races for the season, but a good opportunity for early season press images and to put on a show for the race fans.
