In just its second season of existence, the Scott-sponsored team of young triathletes, ATLET, is starting to make its presence felt on the European scene.
Marino Vanhoenacker took the big win at the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt last weekend. He was not alone on the podium with his Plasma Premium as SCOTT triathlete Sebastian Kienle took second place and crushed the fastest bike split of the day despite the severe rainy conditions.
Last weekend around 1,000 runners lined up at the start of the 2012 Zermatt Marathon aiming to conquer the 1,900 metres of ascent required to complete the course.
Winner in Uddevalla of his second MX1 Grand Prix this season, Clément Desalle is the new leader of the World Championship as reigning champion Antonio Cairoli didn’t scored any point in Sweden. Winner in MX2, Tommy Searle is coming back in the series and is now sixteen points behind Jeffrey Herlings.
World Time Trial Champion Judith Arndt claimed the German national time trial title on Friday. She added the German national road title to her tally today. The double champion now has 20 national titles to her name between the time trial, road and track.
Beside the Foil and Plasma bikes and the Wit and Split helmets from Team ORICA-GreenEDGE you will spot some brand-new shoes coming from SCOTT Sports at this year’s Tour de France.
ORICA-GreenEDGE has named its nine-man Tour de France squad. The line-up has been built with a focus on stage wins in both the sprints and the hillier stages.
