Men's endurance squad is now based in Belgium racing and training. Fraser Gough won a 100km U19 Kermis from Scott Creighton. Hayden McCormick was 6th, Dylan Kennett 7th and Alex Frame (who has been there 3 months and had two wins) was 11th. They will join the rest of the team in Aigle, Switzerland to put the final touches on the preparation before they head up to Moscow.

Both Steph McKenzie and Georgia Williams put up Internationally respectable times at NZ Track Champs in March so hopefully they can go faster on the super fast track in Moscow.

One over aurthoritarian AIR PORT securty officer deemed that you are not allowed to carry aero helmets, and casco helmets as carry on luggage to london an a direct flight with a transit stop over in LA. team and management not happy, as we all Know how well airlines can keep track of bike boxes,Last minute unpacking of bike boxes to some how hopefully pack helmets in so that they may get to destination in one piece!!!!

Saw Steph in Invercargill on Wed looking fit and feeling confident in the hard work she has been doing. Go hard team! I know the male enduros cant wait to get on the track after a successfull road block in Belg.

The team have all come together, and are now settled into their accomodation. All have hit the roads, to spin them legs. the sprinters have had their first gym session,The count down has begun!
With recent track results from the European under 19/under 23 track champs out, giving some of our riders an indication of where some of their opposition are at 2 1/2 weeks out from the worlds.
The enduros now have some targets to aim for, so as do our sprinting pocket rockets!
GO TEAM!!!!!
