Under new distributor Zyro, Dahon continue their sponsorship of the 2010 Nocturne Series which will also include events in the other iconic locations of Edinburgh (July 3rd) and Blackpool (7th August).
The folding bike action at the HTC Smithfield Nocturne will be one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the day and will bring together the most eclectic competitors of the racing world under the carnival atmosphere at Smithfield.
An international folding bike team from Spain, Dahon sponsored riders and a Stag party will all line-up aiming for the first prize in a who’s who of folding bike enthusiasts.
Amid all the family fun, thrills and spills, last year’s winner Keith Henderson will once again support Dahon and will be seeking glory for the sponsors. He will face tough opposition from Rapha designer Graeme Raeburn who will be on his bike Brompton signed by Bradley Wiggins, who won the Edinburgh and Blackpool folding bike races in 2009.
Ian Phillips, Dahon Brand Manager said, “Dahon are excited to be involved and it was only logical for us to partner the premium folding bike brand on the market with the premium bike race here in the UK.
“The great thing is that it brings together the great and the good on folding bikes and we hope this race again grows in size to capture the imagination of even more people at Smithfield this year.”
James Pope, from organisers Face, added: “It is fantastic to have Dahon’s support for the Series again this year. Dahon bikes are the best on the market so we are delighted to be able to offer these superb bikes to our winners across the three event series.”
