Tomas Lemoine Hits The Slopestyle Scene With His New Partners

Munich, February 26th 2015 – Tomas Lemoine was the dark horse of the 2014 season. Sports marketing and communications agency rasoulution quickly recognized his talent and has signed with the young Frenchman. In addition to his new management, Tomas also welcomes new partners including Canyon bikes, Continental tires and ONE/ 661.
     
It all began when Tomas Lemoine, in his zebra pants, stood on the podium at Swatch Prime Line Munich. His podium result at the FMB World Tour Gold Event opened doors to the season’s big FMB Diamond Events. He later finished sixth at the Bearclaw Invitational (CAN) and Red Bull Joyride at Crankworx Whistler (CAN). Back in Europe, as the youngest rider in the field, he travelled to Nuremberg for Red Bull District Ride. His performance was just shy of a top ten result amongst the world’s best athletes.

 
Coming in strong, confident and with tones of style – Tomas has impressed the spectators, fellow riders and his new management. “We have been observing Tomas for a while now and for us, his great achievements and sportsmanship last season confirmed our beliefs. His positive attitude and professionalism fits our profile perfectly”, explains rasoulution founder and managing director Tarek Rasouli.
 
With a very successful career about to take off on the horizon, it did not take long for brands to recognize the youngest member of the “French Connection”. From now on, Tomas will be riding together with Peter Henke, Anton Thelander and Thomas Genon on the Canyon Factory Freeride Team. From 2015 you will see him throw down his epic trick combos on a Canyon Stitched and go big on a Torque DHX.
 
The athlete from Marseille is looking forward to the upcoming competitions: “2015 will be a great year and I am super stoked and motivated. I will try to ride all FMB Gold and Diamond Events. Thanks to rasoulution and to all my partners for their support and great start to the season.”
 
In charge of his style and safety will be ONE/ 661 and Oakley. His grip will be provided by Continental’s “Race King 2.2” and “Kaiser Project”. Tomas’ Canyon bikes will also be equipped with SRAM, Avid, Truvativ, RockShox, NC-17 and Novatec components.

TOMAS LEMOINE JOINS CANYON FACTORY FREERIDE TEAM

KOBLENZ, 20.02.2015 — What’s better than having three of the most exciting slopestyle talents in the business riding together? Having four of them is what. More is always better and the Canyon Factory Freeride Team (CFFT) is excited to welcome new rider Tomas Lemoine into the ranks for 2015.

Still only 18, Tomas cut his teeth racing BMX back in the day but has made a real name for himself on the MTB dirt jump and slopestyle scene over the past season. From now on he will receive full support as part of the CFFT setup, riding the Canyon Stitched and Torque DHX at the biggest contests around the world.

Tomas is yet another product of the thriving Marseille riding scene and becomes CFFT’s first ever legitimate Frenchman, joining an international line-up that includes Thomas Genon of Belgium, Sweden’s Anton Thelander and the German Peter Henke. CFFT is now better armed than ever to storm the FMB World Tour rankings and will target the top spots at all Diamond Series events throughout the season.

For CFFT Manager, Flo Goral, Tomas has the potential to be the next big thing:

“We constantly keep an eye out for fresh new talent. When you look at Tomas’ skills, style and how old he is, it’s clear he has what it takes. Just watching his progression over the past couple of seasons has been incredible, the only question was how far this kid could go with the right support. That’s what we’re here to give him. As soon as we saw those zebra-print pants he wore at Munich MASH we were completely sold so when we got the chance to bring him into the team we couldn’t turn it down!”

The man himself can’t wait to get the new season underway:

“I’m super proud to ride for the Canyon Factory Freeride Team. It’s one of the few manufacturers out there with a proper freeride setup and its own team. All the bikes have the right geometries, which is so important for the riders. I also can’t wait to join my teammates, it’s a solid crew and we always have good times at contests together. I hope it’s the start of a long partnership, I’m like a kid at Christmas right now! My plan for 2015 is just to have fun on the bike. I want to do all FMB Gold and Diamond Series events and keep progressing through those contests, alongside all the other cool stuff like doing photo shoots and filming for new edits.”

Tomas has been busy hitting up the foampit over the off-season to nail down new combos ready for the 2015 contest season. He’ll make his CFFT debut this weekend at Masters of Dirt in Vienna riding alongside Thomas Genon.

Whether shooting new edits or gunning for the podium, the CFFT boys will always be ready to drop in and turn on the style in 2015!
