Edelweiss RS Bikebags went racing to Scotland this past weekend. Full report after the photo gap!
Unior Tools Team in Fort William, 2011
Žiga Pandur, finished 67th
Nejc Rutar, Finished 81st
Maria Michalogiannaki, finished 24th
Harry Heath, finished 44th
As I am sure you know, the UCI DHI and 4X race event was held in Fort William, Scotland. Of course, Unior Tools Team, supported also by Edelweiss Ride Support, went there and came back with some great results in the bag. It was the most successful race weekend for them ever, with Harry Heath and Žiga Pandur finishing 44th and 67th in DH respectively and Neža Knez finished the 4X race in 11th spot. Nejc Rutar missed the finals by only a tenth of a second, consequently finishing in 81st spot. Maria Michalogiannaki, the team's female DH rider finished in 24th, also failing to qualify for the finals. The team put up a great show, not only race-wise, but regarding logistics and management as well. For that, big props to the riders, team manager and mechanics. William Wallace should also be mentioned, although I'm not yet sure why.
We are also very happy with the team's feedback regarding the Edelweiss RS Bikebag. In short, they were very much impressed with the Bikebag, which enabled them to pack all the gear in the vans for the long haul up north and protected their race machines the entire way there and back. To quote the team's manager: "Dude, I could't imagine so many bikes could fit in our van. It was like packing paper envelopes instead of big racing rigs (remember, the team uses Trek Sessions with double crown Boxxers and extra wide bars, so your precious steed will fit as well)!"
This is exactly what we set out to do with our core product; make life easier for riders of the world.
