Orange Mountain Bikes: UCI Mountain Bike World Cup 2005

UCI World Cup circus heads down to Brazil.

Honda's Ex Global Orange man Greg Minnaar shows the world he can learn a new track pretty quick. Quicker than the locals it seems, as his old team mate, Brazilian rider Markolf Berchtold (also an ex-Orange 222 rider) couldn't hold him back. Steve Peat is still out with his shoulder injury.
