As the Sandwich 50 draws near, final preparations of bikes, nutrition, and bodies are underway for the SPH - Wheelhouse Cycles team. There is an air of confidence and excitement amongst the group. While the first race may also be the biggest of the year for those in the contest this weekend, there is contentment with whatever the results may be and wonderment with how the bodies will respond to such a test.

"We've created a great atmosphere on the team. The guys are all tight and Larry (Warrington) and Isaac (Giesen) have managed to transmit motivation and tranquillity to the entire group," explained directeur sportif Andrew Petersen. "We're setting off knowing that we've prepared very well for the race, which is a very important objective for us."

Both team leaders were aware of the difficult task ahead, but not without confidence. "It's going to be quite a hard Sandwich 50, from the first lap to the last. I think it'll be the most challenging out of all the ones I've faced so far," said Isaac Giesen.
