Minnaar in Recovery

South Africa’s Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicate) is recovering in hospital after a crash at the weekend saw him break his collarbone, and have surgery on his left leg for the treatment of blood clots that had formed after the accident. The medical term for this injury to his leg is ‘compartment syndrome’.

The multiple World Cup Champion was competing in a regional Hare Scramble enduro event, about 45 minutes from his home town of Pietermaritzburg, as part of his preparation for the Roof Of Africa Enduro scheduled for later this month.

Adam Brayton on Banshee

Banshee Bikes signs Adam Brayton for 2010 World Cup DH season.

November 5^th, 2009 – Banshee Bikes (Mythic bikes in the UK), one of the world’s leading high end mountain bike frame producers, is proud to announce that Adam Brayton, the 20 year old ripper from the Lake District in England will be representing them next season on the UCI World Cup DH circuit. Brayton will be riding Banshee’s all new Legend MkII DH race bike.

The long awaited Legend MkII represents the culmination of 4 years rigorous development from Banshee. In 2008 over 60 MkI prototype Legends were shipped out to racers all around the globe for testing and feedback. This frame was tested and raced at the highest level (World Cups and World Championships, as well as national level races on five continents), and put test riders on the top of the podium from the very start. The MkII version of the Legend is the result of thousands of hours of testing and refinement, and is due to hit the shops in early 2010.
