2012 Val Di Sole World Cup With Team Specialized

After a rough off at Leogang, Troy Brosnan sat out the second round of the World Cup series at Val di Sole. Sam, meanwhile, was feeling good about his fitness, but not as much about the loose, rooty track. Despite his misgivings, Hill finished 7th feeling good about the next few rounds.

The team was also finally able to talk about the 2013 Demo 8 Carbon they'd been riding since last year's World Championship, which debuted at the Val di Sol race.
