The team are happy to confirm that for this coming season the riders will be on brand new Iron Horse Sunday frames.

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Iron Horse over the beginning of the year and various press releases and articles have explained various pieces of the puzzle, however for the UK distributor, ‘Jim Walker’ it is still business as usual with regards to sales and service of all bikes. (more…)

The 1st UCI newsletter came out today and for the 1st time in the history of Irish Cycling, there is a UCI registered trade team in the Downhill category. (more…)

During some pre season testing in Portugal last week, Ben had a high speed crash when he caught his bottom bracket on a hidden rock. The bike stopped and ejected him over the bars and on to his shoulder causing a fracture to his collar bone. He came out of the crash, bounced onto his feet and had to run at the same speed at which he had crashed at to stop him hitting the dirt again!

After seeing the local medics and having an x-ray, he flew home the same day to get a thorough examination. The collar bone is broken as you can see in the x-ray but Ben has since been out riding and hopes to be back to fitness again within 2-3 weeks.
