YT Industries is proud to announce that French freeride star Yannick Granieri is the newest addition to their roster for the 2014 season. Yannick will be the second rider from France on the team, after enduro racer Bryan Regnier. It was his confident style, and the fact that he wasn't afraid to give Sam Pilgrim his first ever tattoo in the YT booth at last year's Dirtmasters Festival that made Yannick an appealing prospect.
After a knee injury put him out of commission for six months, 2013 was a comeback year for Yannick, and he made his mark on the slopestyle circuit with a number of impressive results, including winning the Les Deux Alpes Best Trick contest, a third place at the Bearclaw Invitational, and a second place finish at the Teva Best Trick contest at Crankworx Whistler.
| It's not every day that you get the possibility to work with Yannick Granieri. I just had to say yes somehow. We here at YT are excited with this new addition to the team, and are very proud that it was not the money, but more the bikes and the brand that made Yannick interested in working with us. Yannick Granieri stands for the same values in mountain biking as YT Industries does - having a great time on the bike. - Florian Lehmann, Marketing Manager YT Industries |
Stay tuned for more exciting additions to the YT Industries team.www.yt-industries.com
It's gonna be even more confusing if he rides, andreu's signature series bike !
Last point, I hope YTI will not signs with too many riders, that may affect the price of those awesome bikes !
Edit: Same bike, same red bull lids, same build / tats / tone. Yeah that could be a bit confusing.
