December 9, 2003 – Norco Performance Bikes, one of North America's leading producers of high quality mountain bikes, components, and clothing, is proud to announce that Quebecois Down Hill Champion Hugo Donais will be flying the Norco colours once again in the Men's Pro/Elite category.

“We're totally stoked to have Hugo racing for our DH Team again,” says Peter Stace-Smith, Norco Factory Team Director, “He's not only fast, but his heart is totally into racing and to giving his all. Not to mention he brings the team that specially Quebecois Joie-de-vivre.”

With results like 2003 Quebec Men's Pro/elite Champion, 2003 Canada Cup stage winner, 2003 National Team member, and 2001 Junior Canada Cup Champ, it's certain that Donais will be throwing it down with serious intent this season. He has also spent his off-season training hard in Victoria to ensure he gets a good jump-start on the 2004 race season.

We all look forward to seeing Donais racing the Canada Cup DH Series, bumping shoulders on the 4-Cross tracks and his new section in the upcoming Eastern Standard film Full Throttle.
