arrowtown local representing NZ
Josh Bonnar decided as early as 2020 (during COVID) that he wanted to ride in Europe and jumped at the chance when he was invited to join the 'KiwiDH' team, days before Christmas 2022. It's been a lot of training and travel to competitions up and down the length of Aotearoa since 2020, gradually building his race craft and experience, with many podium spots and top 10 placings in top-tier races for his age group at a national level. He is now well recognised in the NZ racing network alongside others coming through the ranks. Josh has had many nasty crashes and mental barriers to push through, and he has had to put in time as he trained alone in the last few weeks preparing for Europe. Joining the KiwiDH team has seen him race, this season, in Lenzerheide (Switzerland), Leogang (Austria) and Val Di Sole (Italy) all whilst waiting nervously for selection to represent his country based on those results. This week saw him rewarded, given a spot to race in his country's colours at the UCI World Cup by Cycling NZ in the successful junior downhill team (which has seen the girls finish with a 'kiwi lockout' taking all three podium spots). Josh himself qualified for the final in the highly competitive 'Junior Men' category, finishing 30th overall whilst helping the NZ junior male team rank as 5th overall in the teams medal.
Josh still has a race in Andorra and two in France to go... and if he can find a sponsor to get him to America and Canada there's opportunity there too, he's keen to hear from any interested benefactors! joshbonnar_ www.dorhair.co.nz
