It was announced recently by Alienation BMX that a two year sponsorship deal for 2011 & 2012 has been signed with the French BMX National Team for product support with the world’s best high performance rims from Alienation BMX. The sponsorship deal was hammered out by French National Team Coach, Fabrice Vettoretti and Alienation BMX Sponsorship Coordinator, Jerry Landrum. According to Landrum, “Everyone here at Alienation BMX is VERY excited to be able to work with the awesome riders and World Class Coaching Staff of the French BMX National Team! The French BMX Program has been at the “Elite Level” before any other national team in BMX, and we know that our product will be used at the height of BMX performance under the sterling leadership of Fabrice, his staff and of course, some of the best riders in the world.”

With the goal of being “The Fastest of the Fast”, Team France will be primarily using the Deviant/Insurgent rim combo. With the superlight Deviant on the front, weighing in at 305 grams

and the 315 gram Insurgent on the rear, the Fast French will possess the lightest high performance BMX rim setup in the world.

When it comes to performance, the French Team will be contesting one of the toughest race schedules ever with a mixture of UCI BMX Supercross races, the UCI Worlds, the super tough Euro Rounds and the Coupe de France (the French National Series), the Alienation rims will be put to the test, leading all the way up to the 2012 London Olympic Games where the French Team will endeavor to place three Elite Men and Two Elite Women in competition for the coveted Olympic Medals.

The team has taken a BIG step in that direction with Joris Daudet ranking first in the UCI BMX SX Series AND First in the European BMX Series. Thomas Hamon joins Joris with a strong Second in Euro points.

In the Elite Women’s end of things, Manon Valentino got off to a GREAT start with a big win at the UCI Supercross race in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Manon currently sits at Second Place in the overall Supercross series and French BMX National Teammate, Magalie Pottier ranks Third in SX points. The two girls currently reside at #1 & #2 in the European Rankings.

Alienation BMX sends out a warm welcome to the family to the awesome French team. We welcome the best, to the best!
