Dirt Norco Fort William & Val Di Sole
Ben Reid and the crew head up to Fort William for the first race of the World Cup season before heading off to Val Di Sole for round two. With these rough and testing tracks kicking off the season there were some mixed results for the team but they will all be back and pushing hard for the next race in Andorra.

Specialized Racing: UCI World Cup DH2 - Val di Sole
What a difference a week can make! The Specialized Racing downhill squad rolled out of last week's season opener at Fort William with some valuable knowledge and a lot of hard work to do. Putting both Troy Brosnan and Aaron Gwin back in the top ten at Val di Sole, with Troy on the podium, is proof of tremendous progress.
It's a few weeks until round three, but it won't be a vacation. Riders and crew will continue dialing in bike setup, equipment choices, and further honing skills. The battle for World Cup overall has only begun.
