"Team for Ride" gravity sports update...
Fabien at Team for Ride has just sent us this fantastic season update...
"So, here is a report of the season and some pictures of us.
The events
World cup:
Graveyard call: also counting for the IGSA world cup.
Padova grand prix: taking place in Teolo (Italy), this event was really weel organised. A nice track with a very slow but turny section.
Insul: also couting as European championship. This german track is really technical, no mistake allowed in the corners or you easily take additional seconds on your time.
Kosakov: close to Turnov in Czech Republic, this was the fastest event in Europe, a long track with three sections over 100 km/h in streetluge.

Our comments on the season:
Marie: really proud about my results, I wish next will be even better! A big thanks to SMB for the bearing supply!
Philippe: happy to be on the french podium and disapointed to had missed the Euro tour, but starting a job mean no vacation... Of course thanks to SMB bearing!
Quentin: really disapointed about my results, taking too much pressure on the events, and falling 'cause of it... Next year will be better!
Thibaut: Thanks to SMB to had supplied the bearings! and thaks to all the riders and organisators. I was back to school, so not able to take vacation whenever I was wanting to, and next year won't be easier... I'll be back in Britanny and the events will be even further. Eventhough I'm motivated to ride and perform in competition!
Fabien: Thanks SMB, it was so nice to not have to think about the bearing. I'm quite happy about the season, but still think that I can do better. And really pissed off to not be able to go in Brasil to be able to take over the 3rd place in classic luge and be able to participate in the world speed record attempt... But next year will see. Hope that we'll have more sponsors supporting us to be able to race overseas. I put in copy two picture of my best run this summer and it was with my friend, Thibaut! (and I won! lol)"
Our congratulations to you all, what a fantastic season! We look forward to catching up with you again next year :0)
"So, here is a report of the season and some pictures of us.
The events
French championship:
Darnetal: close to Rouen an easy but tactical track. Draft is mandatory to win, being first at the begining of the straight line is not the good choice!
Graveyard call: close to Annecy, a narrow track with rough pavement, man holes... difficulty is to find the balance between grip and drift.
Chuyer: a long track (3 km) with many sections for drafting.
World cup:
Graveyard call: also counting for the IGSA world cup.
Padova grand prix: taking place in Teolo (Italy), this event was really weel organised. A nice track with a very slow but turny section.
Insul: also couting as European championship. This german track is really technical, no mistake allowed in the corners or you easily take additional seconds on your time.
