Peat, Bender, Renner: Who will make it into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 2017?
Steve Peat should find it relatively easy to be at the top of the 2017 Hall of Fame voting. Josh Bender is another legendary pilot on the list for the Hall of Fame. However, with Ken Chlouber, Mark Nordstad and Tom Neeman, there are also names on the list where at least one European mountain biker cannot immediately put a face to the name.
Wolfgang Renner, a European mountain bike icon, is also on the list of candidates. Renner had already founded a bike company in 1976 and worked the mountain bike market in Germany from 1982, and his Centurion brand has clearly marked the path of mountain bikes in Germany. Renner also set off on his first Alpencross in 1989, making him a co-founder of a mass movement in the sport of mountain biking.
If you want to have a say in the choice of nominees, you have to invest 30 dollars. That's how much membership in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame costs per year and entitles you to vote, which runs until July 15. The newly inducted members will be announced on August 1.
