With one half of Morewood at Eurobike and the other half at the World Champs in Auz its certainly been a bust week, thankfully due to the time difference the news is coming in during different times of the day making it a little more manageable from a workload point of view to keep a news streams coming.

Pat is across in Canberra Australia for the World Championships taking place this weekend in order to offer additional support to Morewood’s World Cup riders Nathan Rennie and Mitch Delfs, both riding in the Elite Men’s Downhill category for Australia. With custom painted bikes [done by Mr Morewood himself] Nathan and Mitch certainly look the part. Now they just need to play it…

With Nathan taking leave from the World Cup chase two races ago in order to recover from a 2008 season knee injury and prepare himself for the World Champs this will be his first race back in nearly two months. Looking lean and mean and talking a good game Nathan has shaved 6 kilo’s in the last 6 weeks in preparation for the event in Canberra which is well known by the field to require a large amount of power and fitness due to the lack of slope.

Having done well here in 2008 Nathan is certainly hoping for a good result as are we. Sitting in the Morewood office at the moment helping out while the guys are abroad we have out votes for the top five up on the whiteboard, bets places, points system configured we’re ready to go. As usual we will be streaming the race live on our “Live TV” section, in addition to the downhill we will also be screening the XC for those of you who are interested. In the mean-time catch some of the past few days action below:
