Pau Menoyo dominates 1st Men Junior UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup
Hayes Disc Brakes are officially back to UCI Downhill World Cup and we could not have asked for a better comeback! The year started with a lot of uncertainties about how and if racing will be possible but last weekend the first long-awaited 1st UCI Downhill World Cup took place in Leogang, Austria, and Hayes Disc Brakes supported Commencal21 team rider Pau Menoyo; who took home the win in the Men’s Junior category. Under ever-changing weather conditions – changing from super wet/rainy conditions, to sunny and back again to rain, and after a crash during his qualifying run, Pau did an incredible job hammering down the track coming in 1st.

“The feeling was really good during the whole week, even with Pau's crash in Qualis. It was a track we were being able to count on good brakes with good braking power, this was very important!” CHARLIE JULIA BARTHE - TEAM MANAGER COMMENCAL 21 - by MTB Squad

After coming in 10th during his qualifying run Pau’s teammate Angel Suarez had a crash during his Men's Elite final run and came in 27th. Huge congratulations to Pau and the whole Commencal21 team for an outstandingly good start to the 2021 race season. Next to come is the UCI Downhill World Cup in Lets Gets, France (July 3 – 4).
