Saab Salomon 2009 - new name, new names
Andy and Ben tough it out...
The all-conquering Team Saab Salomon mountain racing team has a new name for 2009. The association of the two brands will continue, however from this year they will now be known as the Saab Salomon Outdoor Team.
TSS is quite possibly the best mountain running outfit in the world right now. They boast Sky Running world champs Rob Jebb and Angela Mudge, a crack adventure racing team comprising Ben Bardsley and Andy Symonds and British Fell champions Rob Hope and Natalie White.
However, for 2009 a big-name addition to the team comes in the form of World Mountain running Grand Prix winner for 2008, Anna Frost. The UK-based, former Team Inov8 Kiwi is a fantastic addition, bringing all of her experience from the world circuit. Top fell runners Ricky Lightfoot and John Hennigan are also added on the men’s side to complete the formidable squad.
Anna keeps warm by the fire...
The official launch, along with a brand new website, will be in late January when we will bring you further in-depth features and the views of Team Manager Tim Lloyd. MST will be official partners with team news, blogs and some exclusive interviews in 2009 – so expect some interesting stuff as the season progresses.
