Brian Lopes Signs with Ibis!

For those of you who are not familiar with American rider Brian Lopes he is probably the most versatile rider ever to ride a bike. He has done it all and all at a world level. Throughout his career he has won eight world cups, four world championships and is the current 4X World champion. In addition to 4X, downhill and cross country he is also an awesome free rider and despite turning 37 this year had his own section in free ride film New World Disorder 8. He is a truly amazing rider which makes you wonder why GT bicycles decided not to renew his sponsorship, obviously he had no problem finding a new sponsor and "After talks with several potential bike partners, his search lead him to Ibis Cycles" (brianlopes.com). Ibis cycles is better known for their carbon fiber cross country bikes but with Lopes on board "Brian and Ibis will be working together in the coming years to develop lots of new Ibis products and to attract a much wider audience to the Ibis brand." so look out for some great things from Ibis in the near future. Good luck to both Brian and Ibis for the 2008 season. For more info visit www.brianlopes.com.
