Anne Tauber will continue her ‘Olympic Road’ as a member of the CST PostNL Bafang Mountainbike Racing Team! Anne would make her debut this year in her first Olympic Games. She was qualified as the first Dutch Olympic mountain biker for Tokyo 2020 last year’s XCO season during the UCI World Cup in Albstadt, Germany.
Here’s what Bart Brentjens, the Team Director CST PostNL Bafang Mountain Bike Racing Team had to say:
“Unfortunately the worldwide situation concerning Covid-19 not only changed the world, but also the complete ‘field of play’ in sports. What not changed are our Team’s ambitions, focus and goals. Our Team’s sportive ambition is still to win a medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021.
