In a world of a standardize team announcements where rider X is stoked to ride for brand Z, here at the Polygon UR we are trying to keep things fun to announce our 2019 plans and to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. 10 years is a long time and you will see that for our oldest riders we start to notice their age but luckily they are not feeling old yet when on the bike, enjoy!
RIDERS
Sik Mik Hannah / 8th year in the team
“I’m coming into 2019 more motivated than ever! I’m feeling strong and mentally fresh. We’ve also got another year in on the new bike so we’re really starting to get the most out if it. We have a great team with great partners so we’re set up for a successful season!”
Tracey Hannah / 8th year in the team
“I am really looking forward to this season. I had a few setbacks last season which made me really rethink my goals and what I wanted my off-season to look like. My training has been revamped and my motivation rebooted, the team is like my family we have been having heaps of fun already and I can’t wait to start racing.”
Alexandre Fayolle / 4th year in the team
“2018 has been a complicated year for me but I am super motivated for 2019! I hope to be back on my top level but most of all I want to enjoy the ride. We are working hard this winter to get the bike all set up and I couldn’t be more excited to start racing!”
