26 Sept 2005 - Sirius riders in fine form… Sirius Bicycles’ team riders performed very well in the Senior & Mighty 11’s test team trials this past weekend at Papakura (Auckland), New Zealand. Rhys Telford (Hyper), Callum Gifford (MCS), & Jason Kelly (Intense) all made the senior test team, & Cory Martin (Staats) will captain the Mighty 11’s team also.

Twice a year the Kiwi Senior & Mighty 11’s test teams, comprised of four riders per each team, square off against the Aussie’s. Australia won the first round in Tamworth (Australia) earlier this year & our boys will be out
to extract some revenge on home soil next month when the teams meet at the North Island Titles at Labour Weekend (Oct 22 & 23) in Papakura.

The North Island Titles is also the first UCI Continental ranking round of the new season for the Oceanic region & so there’ll be plenty of fast riders in town all chasing those crucial UCI points. Rumour has it the Chinese will also be sending a team to NZ for this one, so the racing should be
white-hot!
