For a total of 14 seasons, Jolanda Neff and Anton Cooper were established champions with Trek. Yolanda Neff needs no introduction. World Champion. Olympic Champion. Thirteen-time XCO World Cup winner. Four-time European Champion. And three-time Overall World Cup Champion.
Anthony Cooper was one of the most respected in the industry. He dominated the New Zealand and Oceania Championships, winning seven titles in each. He came so close to that elusive World Cup victory while accumulating Top 10s and podiums. Some of his fondest memories include a Top 10 finish in his first Elite World Cup in Nové Město and a sprint finish in 2018 “that will haunt me forever,” when he came within millimeters of overtaking Nino Schurter on the finish line.
