Favorite Rider: Honestly none, I don’t watch any cycling. But if I had to pick one I’d pick Lance based on all the documentaries I’ve watched.
Bio: I work in Finance and love working with numbers, so chances are you will catch me calculating something on my power meter (latest lap watt split), I love the sun, so I’m either at the pool in the summer or Watopia in the winters. My favorite thing about cycling is carbing up on pasta & pizza before races.

Favorite Rider: MVdP
Bio: Started running when wee little, then got confused and swam and biked a lot, tried that IM thing. Was kinda fast, but not too fast. Joints got old so now just bike… still enjoy it, particularity climbing. Two kids, wife, job, few bikes, delaying the inevitable and living the dream.
Name: Daniel Eisenberg
Home State: Illinois
Years Racing: 13
Specialties: Zwift and Gravel
Favorite Rider: Wout Van Aert
Bio: found triathlons through my wife and ended up pushing that distance to a handful of Ironman distances. Found ultra running in 2017 so I did a 100 mile run in February 2018 and realized that was NOT my passion. Found gravel racing through my local bike shop and REALLY fell in love. I raced Zim in the sweatfest series on Zwift and it’ll probably be the only time I beat him because he started the series late. That was my invite to this wonderfully powerful team Turbo!

Name: Raul Lopez
Home Land: Cuba
State: Michigan
Years Racing: 2
Specialties: Gravel
Favorite Rider: Jonas Vingegaar
Bio: Growing up in Cuba, an 80s steel single speed was my main means of transportation. Which played into me using track bikes/fixed gears here in Michigan as a means of losing weight and getting in shape in 2018. My competitive nature got the best of me, at which point I started paying attention to the local gravel race scene and how I met Alex TenElshof.
