Would you fancy a 6-hour technical off-road bike race in the desert, starting at 10am?

No neither would I, but luckily Crank Punk Coaching Systems’ Tom Little did, and along with race partner Franck Jassaud (racing under their club name HotDogs/CycleHub), he only went and won the bloody thing, the ‘thing’ being the duo category of the Hatta MTB Endurance Challenge in the UAE.

And by a nice chunk of time too, over 42 minutes ahead and having lapped the field, with their average lap over 4 minutes faster than the next pair. That’s three very solid wins for Tom since we started working together back in the middle of last year, and a few 2nds and 3rds too.

Awesome work Tom, crank on.
