TRANSITION RACING UPDATE (4/25/11)  Pietermaritzburg South Africa - World Cup DH # 1 Bryn Atkinson places 11th at the first round of the World Cup DH this weekend. placing just 1.5 seconds off the podium he is sitting well heading into round #2 in Fort William. This weekends course is renowned for is requirements of physical ability and effort. Bryn's efforts in the off season were proven here. He and Jason worked hard all week ketting his TR-450 perfectly dialed for the conditions on Sunday.  Bryn had this to say about the weekend: "The first round of the World Cup was on this weekend in South Africa. All new venue and country for me, I didn't make it down here for the race in 2009. Pretty amazing experience. The weather was so nice all week, some evening showers throughout the first few days of practice kept the track slippery in the mornings but perfect after a bit of midday sun. The race venue was right in town, next to a mall, Marshy and I actually pitted out of the mall car park under the trees. A big spectator turnout, i think 10,000 was the number getting thrown around.  I Qualified in 15th on Friday, wich was alright after limited practice due to some mechanical issues, and the 1 run an hour shuttle system.. For Finals, again perfect weather, I had a pretty pinner run, pedalled my ass off and finished 11th, only 1.5 seconds off 5th.. Tight competition right now. Pretty stoked to be heading into Fort William with some solid points, and having Jill and Scotty Sharples Join Marshy and I for the rest of the World Cups. Good crew!"
