Sam Blenkinsop will unfortunately sit out this year’s Crankworx in Rotorua. While filming a couple days ago, Sam got caught off-guard by the sun, and took a tumble that resulted in a shoulder injury. He will see a specialist next week, but until then, he will spend his time at Crankworx Rotorua supporting his team, cheering on competitors, and hanging out with fans. For fans attending Crankworx Rotorua, be sure to stop by the Norco Factory Racing pits to say "hi" and wish the 2016 King of Crankworx runner-up a speedy recovery.

Thanks and sweet as!

 Bad news. Last time I've got an injury while cycling in Richmond I had to attend 24 hour immediate care near me frontlineer.com in TX. The doctor prescribed me the right treatment and it took four weeks to fully recover. Wishing Sam a speedy recovery and looking forward to having him back soon.

 Do you ride in your raybans or equip yourself with a full welding mask to prevent such situations?

Pretty sure hardly anybody uses heavily tinted glasses while riding as they are pretty crap to ride in, one patch of low light.....

You realise he is paid for brand exposure and photos are part of that, right?

As I said, go and ingest some of your own stench.

 The only thing he's exposing Norco to is how bad their dh bikes are... I hope he can realise he isn't the only one to blame for his poor results from last year

 @mollow: I'd ride an Aurum. Do you have one? I'll take it if it's a large.
