Russell Downing (Team Sky) has long been one of Bike Pure’s fantastic role models. Showing the world that a athlete can compete naturally and honestly in our wonderful sport.
The former Tour of Ireland winner is currently racing his first Grand Tour in Italy. We hope Russ gets the opportunity to show his fantastic sprint, as shown in the picture above, where he won the final stage and overall in last years Tour de Wallonie. (Notice fourth place on the day (to the right) was Wouter Weylandt RIP, who sadly died this week doing the job he loved so much.)
We have hooked up with one of Team Sky’s sponsors CNP Professional to offer a £102/$168 starter pack to a Bike Pure supporter who can guess Russell’s finishing position on Saturday’s flat stage 8 from Sarpi to Tropea. With all eyes on the sprinters before some difficult mountain stages, the HTC squad wont be the only team pulling at the front to keep the peloton together.
Just send us an email, leave a comment below or on our facebook page, giving a finishing position and one entry per person. Nearest gets the cool pack from CNP. We will draw a name if more than one person are reading his form well!
