Following a three year partnership between the Atherton trio and Commencal bikes, a deal has been signed to extend this winning relationship for a further two years.
Team Commencal will be chasing world cup titles aboard the company’s Supreme DH and Absolut 4X Ti bikes.
“Having worked with Commencal closely over the past three seasons we were in no doubt that we wanted them to continue supplying our frames after the contract came to a close in 2009,” said Team manager Dan Brown. “Max and Commencal agreed with our decision and were happy to extend their commitment into the position of title sponsors.
“The signing of this two year contact enables us to embark on new and exciting projects which will fuse the Atherton’s wealth of riding knowledge together with the great development skills and resources of Commencal. These projects will give Dan, Gee and Rachel everything they need to win on the world stage irrelevant of discipline. The whole team at Atherton Racing is excited to get the season under way and can’t wait for the first race under the Team Commencal banner.”
Max Commencal added: “After these past three years spent together, I would like to first thank Madison, our UK distributor, for all the work they have done with this exceptional team. Without them, this story might never have started. Today we have reached a new level with the Atherton clan, with their intense passion for riding and huge motivation to win.”
Fox Racing Shox, Animal and Shimano continue to sponsor the team as well.
