I&#8217;ve wanted to ride a Forbidden ever since seeing the Druid for the first time and I believe that their bikes are going to help me ride and race faster than ever. My goals for the next few years are to refocus on World Cup Downhill racing, be a regular top 10 finisher and a podium contender, like I know I can be.

Alex went on to win the British U21 enduro national championship\u2019s title, round six of the U21 EWS, scored a second podium at round eight and finished his first full season of racing, let alone overseas, as the highest-ranked privateer.

As for Alex, while I\u2019ve never met him, it\u2019s pretty evident from his videos and results that he\u2019s an insane bike handler and I&#8217;m always impressed at the way he can maneuver himself through so many different sections so quickly! For me, I\u2019m just itching to get back between the tape and make a return to racing at the top level again. It&#8217;s been a battle, these past two years, with health and injuries, and it\u2019s through these struggles that I believe I&#8217;m more ready than ever to face the challenges of racing again.

Having worked together before, Connor was an amazing teammate and someone I learned a lot from. I\u2019m also excited to see just how fast he can go on a Forbidden! I first met Alex Storr in Loudenville (for the EWS) and was immediately impressed by how talented and easygoing he is, as well as his insane bike skills. It\u2019s hard to believe that last season was his first real year racing so we\u2019ve yet to see his full potential. We had a great time hanging out during the second leg of the EWS last year and I can\u2019t wait to catch up when he comes to BC in a few months!
