Lapierre/NukeProof Rider Manon Carpenter Leads Junior World Cup!

Teenage prodigy, Manon Carpenter leads the Junior Womens DH World Cup after a Junior Womens first place and Senior Womens 14th place at Maribor, Slovenia. Manon is riding a Lapierre DH 920 and NukeProof Generator AM wheels supplied by Hotlines Europe Ltd.

The weather turned really bad for the race and put everyone at a disadvantage:

"I had a pretty shocking race run but I think everyone did really. I ended up 14th and was fairly happy to be the first junior, although I bounced down most of the bottom section on my saddle with my feet in the air and had a minor crash which slowed me down a bit – I saved my only crash of the weekend for my race run!"

But a great showing for Manon's first World Cup ever!
