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.

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').
