News in brief: German manufacturer FOCUS welcomes two new sponsored athletes for 2017. In addition to 23-year-old Scotsman Joe Connell, who is set to cause a sensation in the EWS, DMR veteran Olly Wilkins will strengthen the slopestyle team and also be involved in one or the other video production.
It came as quite a surprise when FOCUS announced Olly Wilkins' commitment at the end of last year. The Brit was the face of gravity components giant DMR for many years and was involved in product development. From 2017, the charismatic Brit will be riding FOCUS bikes and is supposed to ensure good results, especially in the slopestyle circus. At the NineKnights in Austria he celebrated his premiere with the new work tool. Wilkins is also expected to be featured on some video productions throughout the season.
With Joe Connell, they were also able to sign another all-rounder, who was mainly involved in the Downhill World Cup last year, but will concentrate on the European races of the Enduro World Series in 2017. He showcases his irresistible cycling skills in the following video, in which he tackles rough terrain on the Focus Mares Crosser.
