Sam Blenkinsop had a blistering run at Fort William, finishing third at the fourth round of the DH World Cup yesterday. Greg Minnaar took the win with Sam Hill in second. Things didn’t go too well for Justin Leov though, a bent crank in qualifying saw a 20th start position and a finish just outside of the top ten in 11th. Justin still sits in sixth overall with Sam B knocking at his heels in ninth.
Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
It’s been five years since Crankworx added a new stop to its World Tour (Innsbruck joined the party in 2017). Today, a new fourth stop was unveiled. Starting in 2022, the ultimate experience in mountain biking will have a new home in Cairns, Australia.
