This has been Ricardo Campello at the PWA in Pozo. Joining the Black Team this year, working hard on development with his team, and in Pozo just not making the 1st place by 0.3 points.

Racing, Racing, Racing!!!
Racing season is fully ON! The Black Team has been splitting left and right to bring the AC-1 Zero14 on the podiums. We had Vincent Langer winning the German events and the European Ifca slalom. Him, with Pascal Toselli, both Top 5 at the IFCA Slalom Worlds in early May. Later the action moved to the long distances, where Andrea Cucchi has won the Defi Wind infront of 999 competitors and Pascal Toselli, always in France, another interesting long distance called the Transjai. Only one event has taken place for the PWA Slalom, where Alberto Menegatti won the first elimination of the year, but later still suffering from his injury, and therefore, lacking from training, finished anyway top 10 in Costa Brava. The young Black Team riders, Maciek Rutkowski and Jordy Vonk, had a great top 20 results by entering finals, which makes all hopes possible for great results in the coming events.
