Gerade erst wurde Graves‘ Abschied von Yeti bekanntgegeben, nun folgt schon die Info des neuen Sponsors: Jared Graves wechselt zu Specialized.
Der Australier wird zukünftig in erster Linie auf dem Specialized Enduro 650b und Roval Laufrädern unterwegs sein und dabei die weiteren Specialized-Produkte wie 2FO Schuhe, Ambush und Dissident Helme und die hauseigenen Reifen nutzen.
„I am so stoked to join forces with Specialized. No other brand has the full complement of top-shelf bikes and gear and the level of commitment to success. The whole team is set up really well with the best support, the best mechanics, and the best teammates. Racing with my old buddy, Curtis Keene, is going to be unreal. We have been buds forever, and now to be teammates, I am confident we can help each other and both become better riders through the process.“ Jared Graves
Specialized Racing Factory Mountain Bike Manager Gavin Noble sagt über Graves:
„Jared is pure class – you won’t find another athlete that trains as hard or puts as much into his efforts as him. There’s a reason why Jared has always been up front and it’s no secret – he’s not afraid to put in the hard work in order to consistently get the results. Besides that, he’s a gentleman off the bike and can always be counted on to be the life of the party. We’re beyond excited to welcome him to the team and look forward to making some great memories together.“
