BMC and Dirt Works Australia are pleased to report the recent success of Team BMC Australia (Gordon Street Cycles) rider Jason English who won the National title at the Australian 24 Hour Solo Championships, held at Majura Pines, Canberra on 22nd & 23rd of March. Jason won by a convincing margin, riding a total of 422km, and will be heading to the Solo World Championship in Canada in July as a strong contender.

At the same race, Troy Bailey of Team BMC Australia (Kaos Custom Bikes) rode an extremely strong race to stay in the top 5 until the early hours of the morning, unfortunately Troy had to abandon after a hard spill left him seeing double.

Both riders rode their brand new 2008 BMC Trail Fox 01 bikes, providing them with the light-weight and efficiency of a race bike and the comfort of a 5" trail bike. They were supported by BMC team mate Brian Price in the pits. We look forward to seeing them both tear it up with the world’s best at the 24 hour Solo World Championship on 26th & 27th July in Alberta.

Team BMC Australia is co-sponsored by: Hayes Disc Brakes, DT Swiss shocks, hubs and spokes, Ritchey cockpits and tyres, Stan's No Tubes rims, Crank Brothers pedals, Syncros tyres and cockpits and Wheelcraft.
