“It’s a big step up but for me but my goals are to win the 2011 Irish Championships, top 5 overall in the Halo BDS and qualify at the World Cups I attend. I want to gain as much racing experience as possible."
Dan is excited at being selected as one of the few people sponsored with a Nukeproof complete build. "Its amazing to be riding for Nukeproof, I’ve always loved the bike after seeing it in its early stages in the Irish series, so it’s great to be getting my own!
