50 Sexiest Aussie Babes
FHM magazine, March 2007 issue

"Ms Gudex possesses that very rare but very powerful mix of both sporting prowess and stunning looks. So just as Maria Sharapova looks as sexy pounding down the line as she does frolicking semi-clad on a beach, so too does 28-year old Niki look just as hot hammering down the side of a mountain all covered in mud as she does in a bikini in front of FHM's cameras. (Although we do prefer the mud free, pre oiled and bikini clad version.) And cleverly, she's just released a line of unusually sexified cycling apparel."

Hutchinson Backs Saunier Duval-Prodir / Niki Gudex
February 2007

Hutchinson announced today it will be the official tire sponsor of both the Saunier Duval-Prodir Pro Tour team as well as Australian MTB racer Niki Gudex. These two entities may seem at different ends of the cycling universe but the lifestyle dirt rider and the Elite Spanish road outfit come together where the dirt meets the road under the Scott Bicycles and Hutchinson sponsorship umbrella.

No stranger to backing top flight Pro Tour teams, Hutchinson is exploring new ground across the border in Spain. After an off season that saw a number of high profile signings including Iban Mayo and Gilberto Simoni, Saunier Duval-Prodir has put their trust and confidence in Hutchinson's proven quiver of racing tires.

Niki Gudex who has made a name for herself as an up and coming Australian XC racer as well as a fashion model and graphic designer will once again be tackling a diverse mix of MTB events around the world. Gudex will be rolling across the globe on her newly released signature Scott Contessa Spark women's specific mountain bike equipped with a new line of XC tires Hutchinson plans to unveil at the Sea Otter Classic.

“We saw an opportunity to get behind a great team and a great rider” said Adam Micklin, Hutchinson Tires North Americas manager. “Aligning with Scott Bicycles in the sponsorship arena is a sure way to build momentum and we look forward to joining forces on a number of other projects in the coming months.”

The Hot 50 Sports Stars In The World
Alpha magazine, February 2007 issue

"Looks, talent and sporting success. Take a cold shower, put your oven gloves on - it's Alpha's 50 hottest sports stars of 2007. Starring Maria Sharapova, LeBron James, Kristie Newton, Lucas Neill, Jodie Henry, Sonny Bill, Niki Gudex, Kelly Slater and Danica Patrick."

"Australia's mountain bikers may not often appear on the sports pages, but one Australian rider definitely deserves broader appeal. Gudex is one of the few mountain bikers to have won national championship series titles in both cross-country and downhill racing - two very different disciplines. The scars she's collected along the way may not be great business for her part time modelling career, but Gudex isn't too concerned: "I'd prefer to be a mountain biker than a model anyway. You can look at a hill and think, 'I rode that.'"

"A Warrior Of The New Age!" (Between the lines of an interview)
BG Bike magazine, (Bulgaria) Sept/Oct 2006 issue

"She is a pro mountain biker, model and graphic designer; so strong and in the same time so fragile, so young looking and so mature, innocent as a child but with scars of a warrior – she is a phenomenal mixture of opposites, so opposite that meet together in one name – Niki!"

"To be completely honest most of what I’ve seen and read about Niki was making me doubt whether everything she does is completely true. But if I haven’t been that suspicious back then I couldn’t be so convinced right now in everything that I am telling you about her."

Castelli Signs Gudex
Australian Pro MTB Racer is a Woman of Many Talents

Castelli recently added a trio of powerful marketing tools - a graphic and fashion designer, professional cyclist, and a stunningly photogenic model. Luckily for Castelli, all the talent is wrapped up in one person: Australian mountain bike racer Niki Gudex.

Her sporting prowess, striking looks, vision, professionalism and worldwide popularity make her the ideal representative for Castelli. Racing for Castelli, Gudex will also contribute to the scorpion's marketing effort as an apparel designer and model. Not many athletes can design their gear and show it off, too.

“Niki is an authentic athlete and designer and model, and her international fame has attracted cover shots and feature stories, including front covers on a wide range of magazines,” explained Sören Jensen of Castelli. “Having her on our team is a tremendous plus, and we look forward to having Niki representing Castelli."
