Kenda/Morewood rider Mitch Delfs was recently interviewed by Click Magazine…This is what was said:

WA Boy Mitch Delfs has an unmistakable flow on a bike. Sam Hill is on a record saying that Delf’s cornering skills are some of the best in the business and prior results have led him to a spot on a world cup team alongside the likes of Rennie. With injury setbacks sending Rennie home early, Delfs has not disappointed, with some great results throughout the World Cup season so far. We caught up with him just after Bromont World Cup as he headed down to Whistler … Read More »

The weekend was wrapped up with Peaty taking Gold. The course was super rocky and filled with buck jumps with lines continuously changing as practice wore on.
After taking a bit of time off to prepare, Nathan came into World Champs having put in a considerable amount of training looking strong and focussed, which paid off in the end. Having a little off during practice, Rennie ended up with eight stiches in his hand and having to do a bit of iceing a few days before race day, but this didnt stop him from pulling in a top 10 result.

With one half of Morewood at Eurobike and the other half at the World Champs in Auz its certainly been a bust week, thankfully due to the time difference the news is coming in during different times of the day making it a little more manageable from a workload point of view to keep a news streams coming.

Pro bike: Mitch Delfs
We recently stopped in and caught up with young Perth gun, Mitch Delfs, and got the low down on his new wheels. This is Mitch’s second season with the team, but it was only this year that the team under went some massive sponsor (and thus) name changes. This year also saw Mitch paired with a new team mate in the form of Nathan Rennie. So how has the season and settling in with the new bike gone so far for Mitch? We’ll find out….

Okay Mitch, First up tell us about how your deal came about with … Read More »

Kenda/Morewood team rider Nathan Rennie has been training hard with Nathan Corbett who is a professional Australian Cruiserweight kickboxer and martial artist, fighting out of Five Rings Dojo, Gold Coast, Australia. He is the reigning WMC Muaythai Cruiserweight World champion and K-1 Scandinavia 2007 tournament champion. Putting in some hours getting his fitness back, Rennie is focused on getting a good result at the World Champs later on this year!

The race was held in sunny and warm conditions, but the riders had to battle with a course that was bone dry in some sections, and still very wet from seepage, in the forested areas. The off again - on again rain of the past week finally moved away overnight, with blue skies and bright sun appearing shortly before race time. The open sections of track dried out quickly, however, in among the trees the mud remained, forcing riders to carefully negotiate slippery rock gardens and rooted sections.
Mick Hannah (GT Bicycles), with 11 riders remaining, was the first to make … Read More »
