Gwendalyn Gibson at Trek Factory Racing for 2023

In 2022 he made the leap in quality: he won the Short Track World Cup race in Snowshoe and achieved several top 10s in XCO.

Gwendalyn Gibson literally exploded in her homeland, America: precisely in Snowshoe where she won the Short Track test and finished eighth 2 days later in the XCO test, not counting the 2nd place a Mont Sainte Anne always in the Short Track.

He is only 23 and therefore the future is smiling at him. He closed the year with a bronze medal at the Short Track World Championships (12 ^ then in the XCO test), and all this taking into account that he had suffered a serious injury in the first part of the year (rupture of the patella, see post below).

Now she could try the definitive leap in quality by becoming a stable podium top rider given the transition from the Norco team to Trek Factory Racing. There is no doubt that the Trek Factory Racing team is world leader in the women's category, as it can boast Jolanda Neff (Olympic champion) and Evie Richards (world champion) among its staff. Although the arrival of Gibson could kick off some athletes in the team.

The other rumor is the probable end of the Norco Factory Team, given that there is no news of signings or investments in the international XCO sector. We'll see. The team currently has in its ranks Carter Woods, one of the protagonists of the U23 category of recent years and Peter Disera, who at 27 could still have room for improvement.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
