Trek World Racing

21.6.2011     

Last weekend saw Neko Mulally travel with our mechanic Monkey Vasquez to Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada, where there was a round of the Quebec Cup. It gave Neko a chance to view the course and start making his plans for the World Cup race next week. Despite hitting and bending a pedal in his final run, Neko finished 2nd in Elite Men to Chris Del Bosco (USA), just 0.17secs behind.

This weekend sees Luk Flueckiger racing the 5th round of the Racer Bikes Cup in Chur, Switzerland. We'll bring you those results next week.

The XC and DH riders and staff will start moving to Quebec next week, where apart from our usual activities we'll be setting up a "Wellness Condo". This is where our two masseurs Gabby and Paul will be staying, as well as Neko's Grandmother and Grandfather. Neko's Grandmother Roe is famous for her amazing cooking and will be catering for the whole team during our two weeks in North America!

Also great news is that Willow Koerber will be joining us in Windham together with her fiance Myles Rockwell. Willow will be there to support the team and do other promotional work. There'll be a press release coming out about that and other news regarding Willow in the next few days.

Two lucky fans have been selected to join the team for the races in North America, as our Local Support Crew.

Finally, World Cup Leaders Tracy Moseley and Aaron Gwin will be making personal appearances in Colorado the week afterWindham. Tracy will guest coach at the Winter Park Trek Dirt Series at the Trestle Mountain Bike Park from July 16 to 17. Aaron will also be in Winter Park on July 15, but prior to that, both Tracy and Aaron will make an in-store appearance at the Trek Store in Boulder, CO.
