Gatorade Dream Team diary
A highly-experienced outback outfit, the Gatorade Dream Team have come to 10th edition of the 13-stage Crocodile Trophy epic to display "a show of strength". With a number of seasoned professionals including Alberto Elli and Jurgen Van de Walle, along with five equally experienced support staff, the overall winner could very well come from their star-studded five-man line-up.
Christi Valentine-Anderson - Eurosport commentator, wife of Aussie cycling legend Phil Anderson and Gatorade Dream Team member - will tell their story as this dusty desert crew aims for the top spot on the podium two weeks from now.
