The first big move of the off-season is confirmed as Eddie Masters signs for Pivot from Bergamont.

It looks like Masters is going to be a busy lad with a full World Cup season, all Crankworx stops and at least six Enduro World Series events to complete next year.

Masters finished 40th last year with a best result if 13th in Mont Sainte Anne however he did pick up a third place finish at the first EWS round in Rotorua. He said: “I’m really excited for this opportunity, I’m so stoked to join the team and I can’t wait to get racing under the Pivot banner in 2018!”

Bernard Kerr, Rupert Chapman and Emilie Siegenthaler are all staying on board. Kerr said: “Pivot is such an awesome company to ride for and the team is really fun – I’ve built great relationships with Chris and everyone at Pivot over the past eight years and I know Eddie’s character is going to fit right in on the squad.”
