Sam Blenkinsop Wins The Opening Round Of The NZ Series
In his first race officially as an elite category rider, Sam Blenkinsop of Wanganui has taken the first round of the New Zealand National Downhill Series today, at Wanaka.
On the eve of announcing his new pro-team deal for the 2007 World Cup season, which kicks off in May, Blenkinsop has had an emphatic pair of results in both the seeding run and the finals, ahead of some well know international pros such as Fabien Pedemanaud (FRA), Justin Havukainen (AUS) and 2006 Junior World Champion Cameron Cole.
