Rinderknecht signs for GT

GT Bikes have just signed multiple Swiss 4X and BMX National Champion Roger Rinderknecht for 2006. The young Swiss, who won his first 4cross worldcup race in 2005 and is likely to start at the Olympic BMX race in Beijing 2008, will be competing on GT Bicycles for 2006. Rinderknecht recently raced at Sea Otter as a privateer, coming second behind GT rider Brian Lopes, which must have helped him to catch the eyes of potential sponsors. Now his sponsoring status is secured and Oakley as his second main sponsor delivering shades and sportswear, the young Swiss is going to be able to focus in both the 4cross and BMX worldcup races throughout the year. www.gtbicycles.com
