08/30/2006 Team
The NORBA National Mountain Bike Series (NMBS) wrapped up its seven race series in Snowmass, Colorado, on August 13. Once all the points were tallied, the Subaru-Gary Fisher team had three XC riders in the top five overall standings.
Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski finished the overall leader in the Mens Pro division. JHK rode at a consistently high levle all season. He stood atop the podium at Sugar Hill, North Carolina; Deer Valley, Utah; and Brian Head, Vermont. These three first place finishes and two more second place finishes, made JHK top overall in 2006 and means hell be sporting the #1 plate going into 2007.
To add to his 2006 success, Jeremy finished second in the Short Track NMBS series as well. JHK finished just ten slim points out of first. Being consistently fast all year, JHK landed on top of the podium twice (including the finals in Snowmass), finished second three times, and third once. That means Jeremy was on the short track podium at every NMBS stop.
On the womens side, Heather Irmiger also had an incredible year finishing second overall in the NMBS point standings. Heather finished only 13 points out of first to make it an amazingly close series race. The series title came down to the final in Snowmass, Colorado where Heathers second place finish made up ground, but narrowly missed catching the series leader for the overall title.
In addition to battling for the cross country title, Heather also found time to prove herself on the short course finishing eighth overall. This included a tight second place finish at Brian Head, Vermont.
Fellow XC racer Willow Koerber helped pack the podium with Subaru-Gary Fisher riders in 2006. Willow finished fifth overall in the Womens Pro NMBS standings. Willow got off to a fast start this season and could have finished even higher had it not been for an unfortunate stick lodging in her front wheel at the race in Brian Head, Utah ending her day early. Regardless, Willow showed determination and finished off the series strong with a fifth place overall finish.
Showing balance in her game, Willow also captured a sixth place overall on the short track. Willows highlights on the short course included a second place finish at Mount Snow, Vermont.
First year Subaru-Gary Fisher rider Matt Kelly also kicked into the cause with a top twenty short track overall finish and a twenty-third XC overall finish in NMBS series.
Congratulations to all the Subaru-Gary Fisher team riders who consistently rode their Gary Fisher bikes at the front of the pack.
