Commencal Canada are extremely proud to announce their factory race team for 2008. Commencal is dedicated to giving athletes all the tools they need to make it to the top level of mountain bike racing across Canada.

“Our season couldn’t have been better, we had Matt Zdriluk secure the Junior Expert podium at both O-Cup and C-cup races. Plus our new elite riders were pushing some of the veteran elite racers of their usual podium spots!” Said Peter Appleton. Not only did the team succeed on the race course but they gave back to the cycling community by implementing a FREE race day skills clinic for new and old DH racers. Over 60 riders attended and all of them left with some new skills and a couple tricks to take a second or two off their times!

 Micayla is on the "Commencal Riders" Team which is more of an International team. That is just below the SuperTeam Gracia and the Athertons are on.

The above list is the Canadian riders on the Worldwide Team.
