After some short vacation we bring you some news from here and there. We left off in Val di Sole after the last world cup in Europe. Weekend was succesfull, guys did solid results, Žiga P. was really close to final, he finished at 84th position, with great intermediate times. Many tanks to all the tech support we got at the race, especialy thanks to Sram, Adidas Eyewear, Trek and Maxxis. Žiga continued racing two weeks later on the last IXS cup of the season in Spicak Czech and did a great 13. place.

Another great news - Neža will race world cup in Windham and World Championships in Canada following weekends. Neža already travelled to USA with Slovenian national team. Latest news from Neža - she did a short XC training with the girls, 4x course inspection was closed due to really bad weather, training on thursday was canceled and postponed on Friday morning. We will keep you posted more, so be sure to come back!

A little update from Val di Sole. It is raining basicaly since we got here but the rain should stop by Friday and the weekend is supposed to be sunny. The practice today was good for both DH and 4x riders. The tracks have some good flow and are fun to ride even in wet. More news tomorrow after qualifications ... keep your fingers crossed.

Safely came home from Champery, taking a rest, washing clothes and actually already started packing again for Val di Sole:) It is really easy for us europeans to race the world cups here, as we can actually always go home after every race. I've spent a lot of time talking to some riders from New Zealand and Australia, its really hard for them to actually stay here during the summer when there are no world cups, as they usually get the contracts only for the big races.
To go back to the race, we are trying to do are best in all races this year and we are pretty sure we are gonna make it sooner or later. Stay tuned in the next few days, we still need to upload helmet cam from Champery, hopefully tomorrow and then some news from Val di Sole. Cheers until then!

Our visit to UCI.

UCI has a great supercross bmx track.

Nejc Rutar from MBK Orbea did a great job in Champery with 51. place. MBK Orbea is our number one team partner, as we travel and help each other on most of the races. Nejc can smile:D
