Global technology, media and financial services company GE will be the main sponsor of the team in the Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T! The GE – Marco Polo Cycling Team will take part in the premier cycling event in North America, which is a great opportunity as such.

Fuyu Li, Xing Yan Dong, Liu Yilin, Jai Crawford, Rhys Pollock, Sergey Kudentsov, Loh Sea Keong and Leon van Bon will represent the team which will be directed by Michael Carter.

More news soon!

Trek – Marco Polo rider Leon van Bon did get an 11^th place in the famous Cape Argus event in South Africa. After a lot of bad luck in the Giro del Capo and a lot of suffering with ‘track legs’ uphill, Leon felt good again in the 35000 participants(!) event and just missed out on a real good result in the chaotic rush to the finish; some riders sprinted towards the wrong banner, a few hundred meters too early.

Fuyu was 29^th and Bart Brentjens 32^nd.

A good way to finish the South African races.

Next races:

- Loh Sea Keong is racing in Tour of Taiwan now

- 2-6 April Tour of East Java

- 15-17 April Asian Championships with Fuyu Li

In the mountain time trial none of the Trek-Marco Polo riders could compete with the best. Pfannberger of Barloworld took the overall win, with our guys: Bart Brentjens in 13^th place GC, Jai 24^th, Fuyu 27^th. The team did get a 4^th on the team GC in this strong race.

The guys are looking forward to the  mass Cape Argus event, which is the day after the Giro.

In stage 4, jai Crawford felt good and rode very aggressive, attacking to try and win the stage. Unfortunately he did bnot make the right break and finished in one group with Bart. As they kept the difference with the stage winners small, Bart managed to move up in GC. He is 10^th now. The team is 4^th in the team classification that is led by Barloworld.

The last stage of the race is a hill climb TT, that Jai has really focused on. Bart is hoping to keep his top 10.

Sunday, the team will take part in the Cape Argus cyclosportive race with 40.000 participants!
