Norco Bicycles has brought Mark Wallace into its Factory Team schedule for the 2023 race season. The race schedule will naturally be aimed at the UCI World Cup series and World Championships.
I'm thrilled to be in Norco! I grew up driving Norco's so it's good to be back! There is a great environment and strong partners supporting us, we have everything we need! Norco is also dedicated to building a strong racing program that is truly motivating. Among all the team members we had a good time. I can't wait to get into some races with the crew and get to know them better. I've been lucky enough to be around very knowledgeable people throughout my career and I hope I can pass some of that on to Lucas and Gracey – Mark Wallace
We recall that in October the news had arrived that Norco would go out of business as Team Factory: still unknown the reasons for the rethinking, the fact is that the team has downsized and now has only 3 Canadian athletes in the DH sector.
Wallace joins the Canadian national champion and overall at the 2022 Junior World Cup Gracey Hemstreet in his first year as an elite, and to the rising star luke cross following his best year of national and international racing to date. After a 21st place overall in last year's World Cup, including a 10th place and three Top 20 finishes, Wallace is excited to continue his legacy of success and help develop the next generation of DH technology with the legendary Canadian brand.
