Leon van Bon from the Trek – Marco Polo Cycling Team won the six-days race in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. Together with his team mates Robert Bartko and Pim Ligthart, they beat their closest rivals Danny Stam, Peter Schep and Tim Veldt in the Omnisport track stadium in Apeldoorn.

This time the 6-days race was held with trio riders because of the large 250 meter track.
After a few second places this is the first 6-days victory for Leon van Bon. A victory that fits in well between his other career highlights, like the medals at Olympic Games and World Championships and victories in stages in the Tour de France and Vuelta Espana and more recently with the Marco Polo Cycling Team, victories in Thailand and Korea.

The Trek- Marco Polo Cycling Team is happy and proud of the transfer of Chinese Fuyu Li to the Radioshack team from Lance Armstrong. This will bring Fuyu Li again in the Protour, the highest division in cycling. Fuyu Li is the current time trial Champion from China and recently he won his second gold medal at the China Games.

The Trek – Marco Polo Cycling Team is happy that Fuyu makes this transfer, because the team is a development team, building up Asian talents towards the highest level. And it is an honour that he signs with the world’s best cycling team from director Johan Bruijneel and becomes team mate with cycling legend Lance Armstrong.
