The team back in action at Tour of Timaru! Stoked to be supporting this great race with Drage, Medium, Fouche, Josh, the Eagle and Maria all lining up!

Good luck to these three amigos George Jackson Keegan Hornblow and Marshall Erwood , first up TP for George and Marshall!

Very best of luck to these two legends Sami Donnelly and Emily Shearman ready to rip it in the Commonwealth Games! Go hard team, we are cheering you on!

A bit bruised! A bit battered! But still loving it here at Chicago Grit , hell of a lot of fun! Spicy day out with Jeremy Presbury finishing 7th and James Wilson still sitting 3rd overall! Tomorrow is the big show at Lake Bluff, one of the best courses around!

4th today for James Fouche! Awesome performance from our lifer Fouche who forced the break of the day and swung the bat, he has a bit of bad luck with a mechanical in the final sprint but man he gave it a good crack! We also saw Medium hit the deck with an impromptu pavement inspection in the final corner! He’s beaten up but will be back at it tomorrow. Great to see the young guns Benson and Josh taking some primes as well. Medium still sits in 3rd overall as we head to Northbrook tomorrow, let’s go!!!

🥉3rd for James and 4th for Benson on a fast day out in Winfield!! Fouche set the scene with a prime rampage to start the day off and the boys continued to ride aggressively! We lost Fouche and Josh in a late crash but Medium and Benson showed their speed in the finale to stay in the mix! James sits 3rd on GC as we push for that first win here Chicago Grit

🥈James Wilson finishes 2nd at Lake Ellyn on Day 2 of Chicago Grit with James Fouche in 4th! An aggressive start by the boys saw Fouche and Medium head up the road with two Cadence riders and the four managed to stay away. Everything still to play for with 5 of the boys in the top 10! Young Josh took a nasty tumble after being put in the barriers but he is all latched up now and ready to rip tomorrow!

🥈Benson Boys take a bow!!! 2nd in the first stage of Chicago Grit against a stacked pro men’s field! Our young 16year old Southlander showed guts and determination to make the break of the day and finish it off with his first podium. Nick Moulai put in his best performance of the trip to nab 5th with Jem in 8th and Medium in 9th! Credit where credit is due Luke Fetzer what a ride, congratulations on the win! Tomorrow we chase that top step! Stoked to see the lads all gelling with the NZ Track Team boys away. This is living!
