Thanks to Big Mark aka ( Silver Wahoo ) for the heads up.

Official Press Release below.

bn3 Sports is delighted to confirm a new title sponsor has joined SRAM and Rock Shox for the 2004 season… Mountain holiday specialists Alpine Tracks will provide the team’s European base of operations at their luxurious chalet complex in Morzine. Located in the centre of the Portes du Soleil region (just a short drive from Geneva Airport), team riders will have unparalleled access to some of the best riding areas in the Alps.

We are delighted that SRAM and Rock Shox are returning as title sponsors for 2004. Once again the team will be using the superb SRAM X.0, X.9 & X.7 components for unequalled shifting performance and Rock Shox forks for constant control on any course. We are also privileged to have been selected as a factory-equipped team receiving the best technical support possible from the SRAM / RockShox truck at all major events.

PowerBar, the number one choice in sports nutrition, are also continuing their support of the team with excellent energy, recovery and hydration products.

Kona Bicycles will be providing the team with World Cup winning Stab Primo framesets, via UK distributors Paligap.

Bolle have been one of our most valued sponsors in recent years. Once again the team are equipped with the finest eyewear both on and off the bike.

Sixsixone will be equipping the team with protective gear, gloves and socks.

Endura will again provide the team with custom-made racewear and technical clothing.

TFTunedShox, the home of Suspension Guru Tim Flooks, will provide the team with their expertise in the workshop and at the races.

Buff, another of our long-term supporters, will once again be supplying the team with cool items from their versatile clothing range.

USE seatposts will again be adding some Alien qualities to team bikes.

It is expected that further sponsors will be confirmed within the coming weeks.

Two of the most experienced women in UK downhilling make up the Alpine Tracks/SRAM/RockShox World Cup Team :-

Anja Rees Jones made a successful return to competition in 2003 after a potentially career ending injury. A silver medal in the British National Championships and 30th overall in the UCI World Cup suggest that she will be a serious contender in 2004.

Anja is also backed by Zero-G, Chamonix’s #1 bike and board store, and by Doss Clothing.

Petra Wiltshire is the grande dame of British downhilling, and is one of the very select group to have been crowned World Champion. In what is likely to be her swansong season, Petra is looking to repeat the form that made her 2001 UCI Masters World Champion.

Alpine Tracks/SRAM/RockShox race program will include:

UCI World Cup
IXS Downhill Cup
Maxxis International Series
British Cycling National Championships & National Points Series.
