Frenchman Damien Oton, the “Catalan Eagle,” once again leads the charge—entering
his fifth year as a pro and celebrating his fifth year with the Devinci
family.
Oton snatched a trio of podium finishes in 2017, capping a remarkable
season in Finale Ligure, Italy, by landing on the highest step of the box.
" I’m stoked to continue with the team, and I’m looking forward to kicking off the season with a talented and highly motivated teammate. "- Damien Oton
Alongside Oton, 21-year-old Kiwi phenom Keegan Wright joins the
Devinci ranks—with impressive results in tow. In 2016, he won the New Zealand
Enduro overall title. And riding that momentum, last year Wright captured
overall honors at the Downhill National Cup.
He also pocketed podiums at the New Zealand Elite Downhill National
Championship and in front of a riotous home crowd at the Crankworx Rotorua
Pump Track Challenge.
I’m absolutely over the moon to be racing for such an amazing bike brand. Ever since I hopped on a Spartan last fall, I’ve felt right at home. My ultimate goal is to be on that podium, and I can’t wait to blast into the international season with all cylinders firing.
- Keegan Wright
