CN diarist Chris Davidson joins Ford Cycling team

By Steve Medcroft

The new structure of the Ford Cycling women's mountain-bike team means a new opportunity for former Shimano support mechanic and Cyclingews diarist Chris Davidson. “I was with the Shimano neutral service team for eight years,” Davidson said Wednesday night from his Utah home. In that role, Davidson traveled to road and mountain bike races to provide free technical help to any Shimano-equipped athlete.
