North East outfit Velo29 have been testing their legs at the Tour du Maroc in preparation for the upcoming domestic season.
Six riders from the team have been enduring cross-winds, crashes and upset stomachs at the 2.2 UCI Africa Tour race in Morocco which started last Friday.
“Bad guts and very very fast in the world’s strongest wind!” is how Rob Orr described the ten day stage race on the team wesbite.
The team, who signed former Raleigh rider Matt Kipling for 2012, has five more stages to endure before heading back to the UK. The race ends on Sunday with a stage into Casablanca.
