The second round of the 2014 World Cup takes the Specialized Racing crew to Cairns, Australia, not far from Troy Brosnan's hometown of Adelaide. After the first World Cup round in South Africa, teammate Mitch Ropelato joined Troy on his home turf to unwind before the team takes on the next track. Aaron Gwin enters the Cairns event with the World Cup leaders jersey, while Brosnan looks to continue his podium presence in his home country.

Troy rocks! Great guy and great style! It's only a matter of time before he's winning! After all, he has had some great teammates (Hill, Gwin) to learn from
The last two word cup, are too flat for demo... specialized wants top rider at the top place, the enduro evo is a good choice, I think we'll see demo for the next run.
yeah the new demo is on at fort William i think, whole new rear end and a slightly different seat tube system, it's all a bit hush hush at the moment and there are only few pictures as it is only a prototype
Rumour says it they'll be riding a new Demo in Fort Bill (maybe the one spotted in Whistler last summer). After all, they've been riding the exact same bike (except for the carbon, but the geometry stayed the same) since 2010, so why not change. Plus, the whole "oh em gee demo u suck! Gwin isn't gwinning blahblahblah" story
if he can will on an enduro evo he can win on a demo. every one knows he was just having an off season, problem is if they do bring out a new demo next year i am planning to buy in august this year, is it worth waiting?
Considering Adelaide is basically dessert, Cairns being a tropical rainforest is about as far away as you can get.
