The team gets their exercise in with a lively walk
It was a beautiful day in Maribor Slovenia for the new Trek Factory Racing Downhill team’s very first track walk. Ever! The day was full of getting even more aquantied with 2019’s first World Cup track, and also squeezing in meetings, bike tuning, and even helping our British riders get a sun tan.
Always good to start the day with a social media check. And a wheelie
The day kicks off with a nice group chat on the goals
