Team Pivot Weekly Update

Some news from the Dainese-sponsored UCI MTB team.

This week end was a Muddy one for the Quebec cup in Mont Saint Anne for Hans Lambert, with a muddy course from top to bottom Hans was able to stay on the track and have a great time ridding his Pivot and finished in 3^rd place behind Neko Mulaley (usa-Trek World racing) and in first place was pro skier Chris Delbosco. Hans had 2 full days of muddy  practice and the course got faster and faster as the day had gone  with the sunshine.

For Kyle Strait he has decided to Pack all of his things and head off to Highland Mountain bike park in New Hampshire  to coach young athletes for the week and practice for the upcoming claymore challenge next week end. This is the start of a long trip for Kyle he will not return home before the august.

At the moment I am with Will Rischbieth and we are in Geneva and just arrived from Leogang and he is recuperating from his hands injury’s  and keeping his training up and positive mind set to be 100% for Mount Saint Anne and I am attempting to fix our Europe truck that we have been having  transmission  trouble with by lately(what a new challenge).

Thank You for all your support

Team Pivot Cycle Update

An update from Team Pivot Cycle after the last 2 rounds of the UCI Downhill rounds in Ft. Williams (Scotland) and Leogang (Aust.)

"Leogang was a hard week end for the team and the rest of the field, there was many crashes and injuries across the all the competitor’s . For Hans Lambert and Bernard Kerr they both had crashes in there qualifier due to the rain and muddy conditions and was unable to qualify. Unfortunately it his hard for these guys after all the months of preparation and hard work.

For Will Rischbieth, after having a somewhat good Fort William race last week  he had a bad crash early Saturday morning practice and fractured his right hand and his left index finger and went on to tapping up his hands and racing the qualifier and ended up 81 out of 276 racers, having a hard time holding on to the bars Will used a the bigger ODI rogue grip for a softer feel for his hand. The doctors says that in 3 to 4 weeks he should be ok but he has already source out a brace and is riding his xc bike on the road, this has not slowed down his motivation. He should be ready for Mt Saint-Anne World Cup.

For the next stop for the team will be Kyle going to the Triple Dip event next week end in Solvista Colorado and Hans Lambert will be racing the Quebec championships at Mt Saint-Anne and getting ready for the next world cup.
