New Zealands top downhill mountainbiker (also one of the worlds best, as it turns out), Sam Blenkinsop, has just signed a contract with French team, Team Lapierre international. Previously riding a Yeti, the move to Lapierre should be an interesting one, as No Limits, nor anyone we know, have ever ridden a Lapierre bike, let alone seen one in NZ. Blinky will be joined by eight time world champion, Nico Vouilloz (remember him?), who should be able to dole out some valuable advice.

Go boy!
