tra l'altro mi sembra fosse ancora senza ingaggio per il 2011, quindi mi sa che per questa stagione non lo vedremo in nessuna tappa wc come pilota, al limite solo come wyn tv (ammesso che sia mancino)

Wyn ha avuto una brutta caduta ed ha rotto due ossa, di cui una scomposta. Ieri è stato operato per cui dovrebbe riuscire ad essere ok giusto in tempo per la stagione di Coppa (ha un ottimo contratto per il 2011). Mi ha detto che appena esce dall'ospedale mette una foto su FB.

Ha anche aggiunto che l'unico suo problema al momento è di riuscire a pisciare in una bottiglia... il solito Wyn!

Secondo me Lepus sa qualcosa, eheh...

Giusto per confermare finalmente quello che dice Lepus, newsletter ufficiale Yeti:

"The Yeti / Fox Racing Shox team, perennially one of the strongest mountain teams on the circuit, announced its World Cup and national teams today.



Current World Cup 4x Overall Champion, Jared Graves will anchor the World Cup team and will be joined by rising star and fellow Aussie downhiller Shaun O’Connor. The national team is deep in talent and will feature two current national champions - Ross Milan (4x) and Mike West (Super D) and a deep pool of young downhill racers including Tyler Immer, Eliot Jackson, Joey Schusler, Chris Boice, and junior Richie Rude.



The Yeti / Fox Racing Shox Factory Team has consistently produced top World Cup talent. Yeti president, Chris Conroy, credits this to the development system they created five years ago. “We are committed to finding and developing young talent,” Conroy said. “We have invested significantly in our World Cup and national teams so our riders get great coaching, strength training and mechanical support to help them reach the next level of the sport.”



Shaun O’Connor, who finished 17th overall on the World Cup circuit last year is stoked to be riding on the Yeti / Fox Racing Shox Factory Team, “I am really excited to be on the Yeti program,” O’Connor said. “I was looking for a team that would allow me to grow as a rider and improve my racing... the Yeti program is a perfect fit.”



Jared Graves, who has raced on the Yeti program for the last seven years, will race the full World Cup schedule in four cross and race select downhill races as well. “Jared is one of the best all-around riders in the world. He’s always the man to beat in four cross and this year he’ll compete in downhill again,” Conroy said. Graves has a bevy of bicycle racing honors, including four cross World Champion, Australian Olympic selection for BMX (he finished 5th) and countless domestic titles in downhill and four cross in the United States and Australia.



Three new riders join the National Team, already stacked with local talent Joey Schusler, (Boulder, Colo.) and Chris Boice (Keystone, Colo.). Tyler Immer (Rancho Mureita, Calif.), Richie Rude (Redding, Conn.) and Eliot Jackson (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) are fast and talented. All three raced their first pro races last year and quickly made a name for themselves. Most notable displays of their natural talent include Immer’s third place at 2010 U.S. Mountain Bike National Championships, Jackson’s qualification at World Cup #5 Val Di Sole, and at 16 years old, Richie Rude’s first place in the Eastern States Cup Series overall.



The National Team looks to litter the podium at regional races; select Pro GRT races including MSC #5, Wildflower Rush; U.S. Open; USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships and World Cup races in Canada and the U.S.



“I’m excited about the new National talent coming up. Our program is about discovering new riders and this year we have a lot of new, young talent with a lot of potential,” said Damion Smith, Team Manager.

The team will be training under James Wilson of MTB Strength Training Systems. Wilson’s program has steadily become recognized as the premier mountain bike strength training system, and has been accredited for some of the top riders’ strength progression in the sport. Shaun Hughes is returning as Team Mechanic for the National/World Cup team after a great season last year. Damion Smith going on his sixth year as Team Manager, continues to manage the race programs.



The team will be racing the best equipment in the sport: Fox Racing Shox, Shimano, DT Swiss, Schwalbe, 661, Jett Designs, Topeak, WTB, Sunline, e13, ODI, Chris King and Motorex.



Yeti Cycles is a rider-owned high-end mountain bike company, based in Golden, Colorado. The company has twenty-five years of racing experience and focuses its product development on making racers go faster. "

Wow... Shaun O'Connor in yeti!!! grandissimo!

Era ora che qualche top team si accorgesse di lui... e sono contento, avendo visto Shaun crescere e diventare sempre più competitivo, che ora si sia accasato per bene!
E' la dimostrazione che allenarsi, crescere, andare sempre più forte, alla fine paga... gli italiani tutti a lamentarsi che in italia non si va da nessuna parte, che bisogna comprarsi le bici, che non ci sono sponsor...
O'Connor è arrivato in italia giovanissimo, ha vissuto da zingaro per anni, con la testa bassa a lavorare ed allenarsi, è cresciuto ogni anno di più, è arrivato a ben figurare in coppa, e adesso raccoglie i frutti del suo impegno...

Finalmente ho qualcosa da sbattere sul muso quando l'ennesimo "pseudopro" italiano viene a piagnucolare miseria e assenza di gloria...
