We are delighted to officially announce our new additions for 2016 and welcome Joe Breeden and Cory Watson in our family. The two young guns from England are supported by us on their way to competing in the World Cup. Joe Breeden has spent time training with our team manager Harry Molloy and has demonstrated his speed and potential with a series of excellent results in 2016. Joe will focus on the UCI circuit, with Corey focusing on the British Downhill Series and European races to gain more experience, building up to competing on a World Cup Level in the coming years.
Solid Reverse Factory Racing (SRF) had its debut season in 2015. Along with a host of strong results throughout the season, we clinched a South African National Championship title by Stefan Garliki and a World Cup Podium from Morganne Charre.
The focus of the team was on the UCI World Cup, the EDC and the various National Series of our riders. Our riders kept the balance right and managed to exceed all our goals in all the series they took part in.
For us, our race team becomes our family. Since Solid began over 10 years ago, racing has always been at the core of our philosophy. It’s a great thing to have a group of athletes racing at the highest level to give you feedback on how to refine and develop our products. That’s what we are about and we’re not going to stop refining anytime soon!
Our French rocket Morgane Charre won the French Cup and finished confidently in the World Cup at the end of the season with a 5th ranking overall. At the end of a great season, it was time to say goodbye, despite the fantastic time together with our team, it was time for her to take a new opportunity. We are proud that she had one of her most successful seasons with us. It has been a pleasure, therefore, we say thank you for her performance on the bike and in our team. We’ll still be rooting for you during your race runs, so we wish her all the best and will follow her next steps as friends.
