Nathan Rennie e Mitch Delfs correranno per il team Morewood/Kenda

Le voci che giravano su Rennie dopo l'abbandono del team Santacruz Syndicate (vedi news qui >> link) sono state confermate. Per il prossimo anno Rennie correrà per il team Kenda/Morewood. A "the Beast" si aggiunge il giovane e talentuoso Mitch Delfs, quindi squadra tutta australiana. Abbiamo di recente parlato di Rennie e Delfs a proposito della recensione del film TIA (This Is Australia) - (vedi recensione qui >> link). Il team correrà su Morewood Makulu, una bici che fa già parlare molto di sè nell'ambito racing. Bici che Jonesy (Dirt Mag), in un video recentemente apparso in rete (che trovate qui in basso), ha definito: "...assolutamente incredibile....". Solo i campi gara dimostreranno se su Morewood Rennie tronerà ai fasti di un tempo e se Delfs riuscirà a conquistarsi un posto stabile fra i top ten. Di seguito le dichiarazioni di Rennie, Delfs e di Richard Carter, Marketing Director per Morewood.

Nathan Rennie: “I am super happy to be where I am in 2009. Not to mention that 9 is my favorite number, I am especially happy to be working with new people and working with people I already know. I am impressed with everything so far and how fast the ball has got rolling. I'm stuck in training already and my knee feels good. It wont be long before it will be 100%. I feel like the changefor me is for the better for all parties and just want to get racing again. See you at the races.”

Mitch Delfs:"I am super stoked to be working with Gravity Group again for the 2009 season. It's going to be an exciting year, with a great bike and good factory support to race on. I'm sure there will be a few World Cups with my name on it. With a new team mate as fast as Nathan Rennie I know my riding will improve, which will make TEAM KENDA MOREWOOD the new power house team on the World Cup circuit."

Richard Carter: “Racing has always been a core value of the Morewood brand, so for us, the formation of a professional race team is a natural progression. It also further demonstrates Morewood'scommitment to Downhill, and our commitment to further developing our products at the highest level of the sport.
Gravity Group has a reputation for running one of the most professional teams on the circuit, so the opportunity of forming a partnership with them was something we just couldn't pass up on, despite current economic sentiment. I believe we have one of the most competitive packages on the circuit. Good bikes however are nothing without great riders, and we feel privileged to work with riders of Nathan and Mitch's caliber. Filling the shoes of a team as successful and respected as Syndicate is a big task for anyone, but I believe Peter Siulczynski and the Gravity Group are up to the challenge. With the right support and infrastructure I know Nathan will be right at home in no time and ready to retake his place on the podium where he belongs. As Mitch is already familiar with the team, we hope to build on and maintain the momentum he gained last season. With the level of commitment and determination already demonstrated by Riders, Gravity Group and Sponsors alike, anything is possible"
