For 2010 the French company has decided to take their sponsoring activities to the next level in order to reflect their export ambitions by creating a new Team Lapierre International, composed of the worlds best DH, Enduro and XC riders.
DH Riders:

Sam Blenkinsop (NZ):
A young rider (21 years old), Sam already has a long list of podiums and even a World Cup victory under his belt. Talented, humble, and fast, Sam will be the leader of the new DH team.

Im excited to ride for Lapierre next season. Its going to be great to ride alongside 10 times World Champ Nico Vouilloz, someone I really respect. Im really looking forward to getting to know everyone on the team. I reckon the bike is the best looking bike out there and I cant wait to start testing next month. After learning so much with my last team, Im really look forward to this new chapter in my career with Lapierre.

Sam is personally sponsored by Adidas Eyewear, Five Ten and Skull Candy.
