PRESS RELEASE

Good news: Arrival of the ATHERTONS in the COMMENCAL family!

The year 2007 is starting out strong at COMMENCAL! We are extremely happy to announce that, as of the 1st of January, the Atherton family is joining our ranks. Rachel, Dan and Gee have been sought out by our MADISON, our UK distributor, to ride for the ANIMAL-COMMENCAL Team.

The newbie’s will be riding alongside Cedric GRACIA, our number 1 rider, in the World Cup events. The high point of this season will be the World Championships held at Fort William from the 3-9th of September, 2007. The motivation of the home riders will be higher than ever, but CG is a man not to be forgotten, particularly as some of his best runs have been done there these past few years. We can’t help it, but we have visions of a podium that is mainly COMMENCAL…
But let’s try and keep our wheels on the ground, because the season is long. From now until then CG and the Atherton brothers will be participating in all the World Cup events, at the Sea Otter, at the Crankworx Festival as well as numerous Red Bull events.
