“I’m really looking forward to starting the 2018 season, I’ve had an awesome off season and I’m ready to race!” — Tracey Hannah

“I’m really happy to be back racing for another season with the Polygon UR Team, we’ve done some great testing sessions with new products this winter and I feel really well on the bike. I can’t wait to start the season and see how it goes” — Alexandre Fayolle

“Happy to be with the Polygon UR Team for a second year, 2017 was a year I’d like to forget due to all the injuries so I’m looking forward to getting 2018 underway and getting faster and stronger as the year progresses!” — Kenta Gallagher

“I’m really looking forward to competing in Speed and Style events this year at Crankworx as well as Fest Series and some special events I’m working on!” — Sam Reynolds

“It feels really good to start this season with the same group of riders and consolidate the hard work that everyone has done last year. We still have a couple of big goals on our calendar and that for sure makes it a super exciting season for everyone! On my riding side this year I’ll take you on a new video series to hopefully motivate you to travel with your bike more often, stay tuned!” — Fabien Cousinié

Tracey will take the rest she needs and we will see her back in Croatia! (https://www.pinkbike.com/news/tracey-hannah-and-Darren-Kinnaird-crankworx-rotorua-2018-head-injury-mtb.html)
