Training hard in Eldoret. It’s the start of a new chapter for Zak and gang. A sponsor’s on board, a camp is being set up. The cyclists have been busy converting an old pool hall into their new headquarters. Painting walls and cleaning out cobwebs. Buying new beds, and modifying Black Mambas. Nick’s scouting around for a professional coach. Phase 2. It’s started. Who would have thought they’d come this far?
