is proud to announce the addition of two of mountain bike racing?s most

prominent riders to its factory racing program, Burry Stander and Todd

Wells. The riders join one of the longest-running and most successful

racing teams in the sport?s history, with a roster that includes

reigning UCI cross-country world champion, Christoph Sauser, and

Norway?s Lene Byberg, with leadership from the legendary Ned Overend.

The

men?s squad will compete on the Epic model, the only full-suspension

bike to win XC Worlds. Lene will race on the Era with its geometry,

frame layup, suspension, and components specifically tailored to

competitive cross-country women riders. Both bikes feature patented FSR

and Brain technology, providing unparalleled control and efficiency in

the widest range of conditions.

 Stander was visibly excited by the prospect of racing with

Specialized. ?As a young rider, I am still aiming to achieve my full

potential, and I feel Specialized has the team and the bikes that will

get me there.?

 Team manager, Bobby Behan, is eager to work with the new squad. ?Burry

and Todd will fit in perfectly,? says Behan. ?Todd is a proven talent

on both the mountain bike and in cyclocross.  Burry and Christoph raced

as teammates in the 2008 Cape Epic, and at only 21, he has already

pushed the world champ to improve. We had to have him!?

Atleast he's got a place for his bottle now.

 

 

That's why I prefer the 2008 Epic....space in the main triangle for 2 bottles....awww that's gonna change...

I think Burry raced a few times on the GT Full Sus. I somehow can't imagine that Burry pushed Sauser in the Epic. It looked like Sauser pulled Burry...

I dont think they (Specialized) are refering to the Epic... more likely the 2008 XC World cup season.

 

Man i wish people would stop posting pictures of the 2009 S works

 

droool......Cry

I am also lost with the last sentence???

 

It is figuratively speaking. Burry was so fit and kept up with Sauzer that he became bit of a threat to Sauzer, so Sauzer had to improve on his fitness and performance....Hence, "he pushed Sauzer to improve...."
