|
Felt Dream Team diary
The Dream Team - this year supported by Felt Bicycles - is back for its fourth crack at the Crocodile Trophy with Italian Mauro Bettin, recently crowned World Cup Marathon Mountain Bike Champion at the head of a team that has victory firmly in its sights.
Bettin is joined by Two Germans, former Telekom pro turned triathlete Kai Hundertmarck and Nurnberger men's team director Jens Zemke, plus Lars - Eric Johnson from the USA and Australian David Wood. The five are supported by, among others, Eurosport commentator Christi Valentine-Anderson who will tell their story as this dusty desert crew aims for the top spot on the podium two weeks from now.
