Gold, Silver & Bronze for Rush Racing Specialized at National Round #2
Wednesday, 27 January 2010 15:22


The Jayco National Mountain Bike Series presented by Specialized rolled into the

Victorian regional town of Shepparton for Round 2 of the 2010 season.

With 3 disciplines of cross country on offer over the weekend, Rush Racing

Specialized had seven riders on hand to tackle the new course at Mount Major.

Friday’s practice session left many top XC riders scratching their heads about

how to ride the technical sections of the course. Rocky climbs and tight dusty

single trail was combined with fast off camber grassy descents and tough rocky

drops.



Friday night was the 4X and Rush Racing was on hand to assist our good friend

current world 4X champion and Australian champion, Caroline Buchanan with some last

minute adjustments on her way to yet another national round win.

Saturday morning and a strong field lined up for the elite men’s cross country Olympic race.

Majority of the riders were in top form after last weeks National Championships especially

Rush Racing Specialized’s Josh Carlson keen to add to his bronze medal from Adelaide.



Also lining up for the XCO were Rush Racing Specialized’s Stephen “Big George”

Van Dyke and taking a break from team management duties Tim Chadd in his first

elite xco race since 1996. Surprisingly Tim was joined at the back of the field

by multiple national champion and Olympian Sid Tablerlay of the Sho-air

Specialized team. Rico Rogers dusted off his mountain biking skills from a past

life to join the team for the weekend.

Rico is a former professional downhill mountain biker who made the change to

road racing for the past seven years. “After the Bay Classic I was determined to

keep doing as much racing as possible. The mountain bike boys from our team

talked me into having a go at some off road stuff again, I said, OK this should

be a bit of fun!”




Someone must have told Josh that there was a prize for hole shot, because he rocketed off

the start line and lead the field up the first climb. One of the riders who couldn’t handle

the pace crashed in the opening two hundred metres allowing Tim, with Sid on his wheel to

jump from last to the top ten. Needless to say Tim waved Sid through fairly early on the

climb.

The course was proving more difficult as the race progressed with sections of

trail becoming almost impossible to ride. All riders struggled to get into a

rhythm. “Just as you think you are getting comfortable on a climb there would be

a rock garden or a super steep section.” Said Josh.

With a staggering 12 riders not able to finish Josh’s 6th place was a fantastic

effort and Big George finishing in 19th was impressive. Tim Finished 5 laps

before being caught by the winner and Rico decided to save his legs for the XC

enduro the next day after 4 laps in road shoes making the walking sections hard.






Rohin Adams lined up in the XCO veterans class against a small but strong field.

He had a great start and led the first couple of laps. Former Australian team

rider Josh Flemming was out to drop the hammer on the last few laps. Rohin had a

great ride to hold on for the silver. Sunday hosted the 4 hour enduro

followed by the cross country short course.

Matt Ligermoet and Sam Chancellor arrived Sunday to test themselves in the

solo category and Rush Racing Specialized had two strong teams of Rohin and Big

George in one and Tim and Rico in the other for the open male pairs.


The most technical sections of Saturdays XCO had been removed from the enduro

course and some more gradual climbs and simplified rock gardens added in their

place. Big George and Rohin lead from the gun showing the same form that has earnt them

countless state and national level enduro titles.




The race to make up the rest of the podium behind was hotly contested between Rush

Racing’s Tim and Rico, Team Wombat and Infared Racing. During the first hour Rush

racing 2 were holding onto second place. The course allowing Tim to make up for

his slower climbing by pulling back the opposition on the long and technical downhill

sections. “I would hit the last downhill as hard as I could my DH friends waiting

for the Downhill shuttles would go nuts when I aired past them each lap.

Some of the marshals would tell me to be careful and slow down” laughed Tim.

Unfortunately Rico fell during the 2nd hour and needed medical attention on his

hand sending Tim out for a double lap. Unable to match the pace of team wombats

rider fresh off a rest laps second place slipped away.




Rico returned from the first aid tent and pulled a strong double lap to keep

Rush racing in the hunt for a podium. Completing his laps just within the time limit this

allowed Tim to head out on one more. At the peak of the climb Infrared racing had punctured.

 assistance and a head to head DH race mechanical damage than expected so and Rush Racing

stood in first and third on the podium. Matt and Sam had impressive rides in the solo class.

Both using the race as more of a training exercise for some longer races Matt finishing in 5th

and Sam warmed up when he crossed the line in 6th.

Another national podium for Rush Racing Specialized
Thursday, 21 January 2010 09:19


Another national podium for Rush Racing Specialized

Josh Carlson has had the ride of his career and scores 3rd in the National Cross Country

Olympic Mountain Bike Championships. Rush Racing Specialized now has a national

mountain bike bronze medal to hang in the cabinet next to the national road cycling

bronze medal won by Damien Turner last weekend.

The newest member of the Rush Racing Specialized Factory Team has had his sights set

on a top ten but the rough, technical course suited his riding style.

“Racing the road bike in the Bay Classic has put me in perfect form for this race.” Said Josh.

Described by the media as “little known”, Josh is a former motocross champion who has

taken to pedal power like a duck to water.

“This time last year I was 11kgs heavier. With the help of Mark from FTP Training I have

worked really hard to get my weight down and my power up. It’s awesome that all the

hard work has really paid off.”

Josh loves his new S-Works Epic. “This bike is unbelievable! I can hit the downhills as fast

as a like and rip up the climbs like I’m on a hard tail.”

Josh will make the Trip to Shepparton for round #2 of the National Mountain Bike Series and

then heads to Tasmania to join team owner Simon Coffin, Team Manager Tim Chadd and

Coach Mark Fenner in the Wildside mountain bike stage race.

 


Back in Victoria Gary Mueller has taken out the win at the St Kilda Club Criterium in

Port Melbourne. “We showed some great team work and got a Rush Racing 1 – 2”

said Gary. This is the first time after more than 4 years of racing at St Kilda.

Rush Racing is having a great start to 2010 with podiums in criteriums, road races and

mountain bike races all within the first two weeks of the racing year.

“We have a great team, of great guys. We are beating teams with huge budgets and

getting the results by being dedicated to the cause. Rush Racing Specialized will be

a force to be reckoned with on the roads and trails all over Australia this year”

Rush Racing would also like to congratulate our friend Shaun O’Connor on his Silver

medal in the national downhill championships. Shaun rides for the Australian

Specialized Team and rode his new Demo 8 to second place in his first year as an Elite.

The Rush Racing Specialized Factory Team is still seeking 2 elite road racers and

1 elite mountain biker to finalise the roster for 2010.

We are also seeking a naming rights sponsor to replace the Rush Racing title

and join the team for its 2010 – 2012 program.
