The 16. Crocodile Trophy 2010: Stars align
- Last year's podium getters call for revenge Less than two months before the 16th Crocodile Trophy kicks off, this year's favourites begin to emerge: with the top three finishers from last year participating, the attendance of Estonian super star Jaan Kirsipuu has just been confirmed. Summoning big names from the road biking scene is a bit of a tradition at the hardest mountain bike stage race in the world. For this year's line-up between 19th and 28th October, Tour de France stage winner Jaan Kirsipuu has been announced. The elevenfold Estonian champion has worn both yellow and green jerseys at the Tour de France in recent years and in 2010 wants to add the leader jersey of the Crocodile Trophy to his collection. In 2009 he already demonstrated that he is a serious off-road contender as well – that year the now 40 year old won the Estonian Marathon Championships. He will be accompanied by his countryman Allan Oras the European Marathon Champion from 2009. However, the challenge is not an easy one, especially considering this year's impressive line-up of „Croc-old hands“. Looks like the top three finishers from last year, World Championship Bronze medallist Urs Huber (SUI), Olympic champion Bart Brentjens (NED) and the young Belgian Mike Mulkens are calling for revenge. Especially „Sir Bart“ hopes for more luck at his second attempt to claim the overall Croc Trophy win, after missing out by only 1:20 minutes in 2009. Titleholder Urs Huber, on the other hand, has already seven marathon victories under his belt in 2010 and trusts in his top form. | ||
