Le magazine français Vélo Vert a eu le privilège de tester plusieurs mois un Morewood Shova dans une configuration super haut de gamme. Aux dires du magazine, “à haute comme à basse vitesse, le Morewood Shova invite facilement au pilotage. C’est du bonheur”, “ce vélo s’avère totalement grisant dans le technique et les parcours descendants”. Avec ses 140mm de débattement mono-pivot, ce cadre est hyper polyvalent, fiable et rigide. Sa géométrie en fait un jouet confortable, très à l’aise en montagne. Le compagnon parfait pour rouler différemment en All-Mountain…
Nicolas Le Carré, créateur et célèbre rédacteur du magazine Ride It est venue passer quelques jours chez nous, en Alsace, avec le Team Kenda Morewood et Morewood United. Entre l’Avalanche Cup de Lyon et la Coupe du Monde à La Bresse, BS Trading a emmener tous ce beau monde sur les meilleures pistes DH du coin et dans les meilleures cave à vins.
Entre grosses descentes à VTT, shooting, barbecue et dégustations, il nous livre sa petite histoire en compagnie de l’ogre australien, Nathan Rennie!!!
Un grand merci à Ludo et Gilles (créateurs d’une très belle piste DH engagée) pour leur accueil
et à Paul Fuchs (Vins Fuchs, 8 rue du 3 Décembre 68150 Ribeauvillé, 03.89.73.61.70) pour l’excellente dégustation de vins et autres nectars alsaciens…
After some disappointing results and a series of injuries that didn’t allow Nathan Rennie to achieve results that were up to his caliber, Kenda Morewood Team Management together with Nathan Rennie decided that the best solution for the actual situation will be taking a break from racing, going back to Australia to recover from injuries and concentrate on training for World Championships on Nathan Rennie’s home track in Canberra, Australia.
Nathan Rennie, who finished the overall 2008 World Cup on 7th placed had a knee surgery at the end of 2008. The surgery should allow Nathan to ride his bike pain-free. Unfortunately, due to some injures sustained in competitions this season, it wasn’t the case and some additional resting time is necessary to achieve such level.
Team Managenent, Team Members as well as Team Sponsors wish Nathan all the best and hope to see him healthy and race ready in Canberra in 2 and half months.
The situation has given Team Kenda Morewood the financial freedom to offer its services to another rider during the remaining part of the 2009 season. After some analyses Team Management decided to offer that position to one of the best French riders out there, Fabien “Cous Cous” Cousinie.
Fabien represented Team Kenda Morewood together with Mitchell Delfs already during World Cup in Maribor (Slovenia) last weekend and will be also present at World Cup in Mount Saint Anne (Canada), Bromont (Canada), Schladming (Austria) as well as during Crankworx Bike Festival in Whistler (Canada). Simultaneously, Fabien will represent his personal sponsors and keep his personal race schedule.
