This week sees Trek World Racing with riders, staff and support vehicles in 3 separate locations around the world. This is the first time the team has achieved this. In Offenburg (GER), the XC Men will be racing MTB World Cup #3, supported by 5 staff, the new VW Transporter and the Black Betty van. In the USA the DH Men are racing the prestigious US Open in Vernon, New Jersey, supported by 2 mechanics and the Peterbuilt US rig. Meanwhile in Glencoe, Scotland, Tracy Moseley will be racing a UK national downhill round, supported by Head Mechanic Sander Gijs and the Scania 'Viking' Truck. With the volcano in Iceland becoming active in the past 5 days, the team thought it best to keep Sander with the Viking in the UK, to ensure it made the journey safely to it's next scheduled World Cup, in Fort William.
All is ready for World Cup #3 here in Germany. The weather looks fairly good for the weekend, and Offenburg is an absolute classic on the circuit attracting huge crowds. Be sure to watch all the action on Freecaster, live and free.
Last week the Trek World Racing duo of Aaron Gwin and Justin Leov went 1-2 at the Pro GRT #3 in Plattekill, New York. Check out a video from the event here:

Aaron's bike is to be featured in a Pro-Bike double page spread in Germany's Mountainbike Rider magazine, and Aaron will be sitting down for an in depth interview with UK's Dirt Magazine next week.
