Orange Monkey Team signs Rab Wardell

Scottish Commonwealth mountain biker Rab Wardell has joined the UK's leading cross country mountain bike team for a milestone 2014 season. The Glasgow-based racer was left stranded following a last minute announcement that his 2013 team, Trek Factory Racing, would be downsizing their cross country program to focus on the road, cyclo-cross and enduro market. Following talks with a number of teams and sponsors at the end of 2013, a deal was struck with the Orange Monkey Pro Team.
