2011

fresh lids for next year are here already! sweet.
A lot riders are in talks about 2011 and making some sponsorship changes or trying to hold on to what they have, For me it looks like very few if any changes, I have been having a real strong year and that looks set to follow on to next year, I joined the mountain cycle family this year on a 2 plus year deal and can not wait to run some of the new 2011 bikes after april. Next year will be a big year for the mtn cycle company and to be part of it will be a real privilege. we will keep you posted with whats coming down the pike or check http://www.mountaincycle.com/

no more bike radar live..

Media group Future has confirmed trade rumours that BikeRadar Live will not run to a third year. The firm said that despite excellent support for the event, held this year at Brands Hatch, it has decided to look at a series of smaller scale cycling events - following strong demand for that type of event from the trade and consumers. Details of those events will be unveiled at a later date. BikeRadar Live event director Chris Down said: "We had fantastic feedback from both the industry and cycling fans following the event this summer, so we know that some people will be disappointed by this decision.

It's been a really tough call, as we enjoyed the festivals just as much as everyone else.
"However, staging an event of this kind and on this scale takes a great deal of time, resource and commitment and in the current climate we have to be very careful about making sure it is right for our business. We'd like to thank all of those who have supported BikeRadar Live over the last two years. "The events we are looking at introducing during the next twelve months will bring all of the excitement and quality that our previous events have delivered."
