Its been a dream of mine (Kieran Bennett) for a couple of years to put together a team and when I started riding for Zerode this year it all sort of fell into place, so after countless emails and phone calls it is all starting to come together and I decided it was time to tell the world.
For 2012 the team will consist of three riders with myself taking on the duty of team manager along with still racing in the Elite class, Reuben Olorenshaw will also be stepping up into the Elite class after dominating the U19 class in 2011 and finishing up the year with a solid 8th at the World Championships and finally Lawrence Cawte from Rotorua will be joining the team and making the move into the U19 class for the National Series.
The teams first race together will be the first round of the New Zealand National Downhill Series on the 8th and 9th of January, in the mean time keep an eye out for a sneak peek into the team in the December issue of New Zealand Mountain Biker Magazine and on here for race reports, videos, photos and other bits and pieces from races as we build up to a massive 2012 season!
