As professional athletes, we invest a tremendous amount of work throughout the winter to ensure we can perform at the highest level. Yet, we often enter the new season without a clear sense of where we truly stand both in terms of the bike and the body. Our discipline lacks sufficient pre-season race opportunities to get between the tape and compete head to head with other world class athletes. This event provides exactly what we need, and I couldn’t imagine a better venue or destination than Aletsch Arena.Kelan Grant, confirmed rider
