‘Top Scottish Rider’ accolade
THE INAUGURAL Alpine Bikes ‘Top Scottish Rider’ trophy has been awarded to George Gannicott. He picked up the price at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in June at Fort William.
Velocite tops podium
VELOCITE HAS scored a couple of notable podiums over recent months, not least in Stoke for the (rainy) end of the 2012 Tour Series. The Velocite Geos was dead centre – with Matrix Fitness-Prendas taking top team honours as well as individual and sprinters titles for Annie Simpson. Shortly afterwards, Maxine Filby took her Velocite Flux to her first ever National podium with a 3rd place at Kirroughtree.
Gannicott started the seeding run in 199th position to impressively qualify in 40th position for the race. Sadly mechanical failure meant he was unable to complete the race, but that didn’t detract from his top efforts, according to Alpine Bikes director Bryan Shedden. He said: “It is great to recognise a young Scottish rider whose performance has improved so much over the 2012 season. We wish him the best of luck for the future.” Tiso CEO presented the award to Gannicot on the day. Alpine was also Retail Partner for the event.
Haro’s new signing is the real McCoy
TWENTY FIVE years after turning pro with the brand, Dennis McCoy has reunited with Haro Bicycles. McCoy is the inaugural member of the Haro Legends Team, a newly created
role that includes not just sponsorship, but also an ambassadorial role, helping Haro shape future projects. McCoy said: “I can’t really put into words how cool it feels to make it back home.”
