Kona-Clarks DH Team to Compete
in Red Bull's Down Town Urban Assault

KonaWorld ­ Kona-Clarks' dynamic downhill duo of Fabien Barel and Tracy Moseley has been invited to compete in the Red Bull Down Town Lisbon downhill race in Portugal on May 10. The fourth edition of the Red Bull Down Town Lisbon is the first urban downhill in the international mountain bike scene, and is now a UCI Ranked Event.

Both Tracy and Fabien are off to an excellent start to the 2003 racing season. Tracy won the Sea Otter downhill by more than 6 seconds over Marla Streb, Lisa Cher and Leigh Donovan, and finished 2nd at Nico's Race in Peille, France. Fabien was 1st
at Nico's Race and is ready to return to Lisbon, where he was 2nd at last year's Red Bull Down Town.

The starting gate of the race is by the St. Jorge's Castle door, after which the riders will face 1,300m of thrilling obstacles - including more than 200 stair steps. The finish line is in the Largo do Terreiro do Trigo square - around which, for the first time, will be installed a small stadium and a giant screen. More than $23,000 is up for grabs during the weekend.

The team will be piloting their Kona Stab Primos through the streets and alleys of Lisbon. The Kona-Clarks Factory mountain bike racing team is co-sponsored by Clarks Cycle Systems, Marzocchi Suspension, Dan & Jake, Bio-Racer Race Clothing, Shimano Components, Tioga Tires, RaceFace Components, Mavic Rims, Fox Racing Shox, Hayes Brakes, Heinz, Paligap Lifestyle Products, Onfire Casual Clothing, MRP Racing Products, CycleOps Trainers, Giro Helmets, Easton Tubing, Ringle Hubs and Dumondtech lubricants.
