CRC/Nukeproof Windham WC Report
Team ChainReactionCycles.com/Nukeproof raced in Windham, USA, at the fifth round of the MTB World Cup over the weekend where young Lewis Buchanan finished an impressive 18th, Matti Lehikoinen 25th, Joe Smith 29th and Matt Simmonds 49th in the downhill finals. There was no 4X this week so no racing for the Mechura brothers. The track at Windham was shorter in time and distance from the previous rounds this season, but the race action was as exciting as it gets. Team manager Nigel Page said: “The track was not the steepest, nor did it have the scariest of technical sections but it was more than challenging for the racers to say the least. Each rider had to absolutely pin every part of the track 100% and there was no room for any mistakes. If you made it through the technical rocky sections and big jumps clean you had to pedal where you could and pump the track where you couldn't pedal to gain every millisecond as the times were so close."Latest news
