Will have to be a spez factory team mate....Wells...thejap??? who knows Don't think coolharvey or Yamamoto will be his team mate..will be very interesting to see as Sauser wants his name to go down in history as the rider with the most epic wins, so he needs a partner that will be able to keep up with him The only one I can see is Wells to fill those big shoes..

I don't know if Wells can keep up though. Tough situation and like you said, he would like a partner that is up to the task. Maybe they will have to look outside the spez stable. Would like to see him and maybe lekata, don't think it will happen though nathrix 1
Brian Fantana Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I hear that Alban Lakata is targeting the Epic as his major goal next year. It could be interesting since Marathon World Champs and TransAlps used to be his major goals in previous years. They also had a bit of bad luck with his teammate colliding with that antelope this year.
SwissVan Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Sauser just did the Brasil ride with Yamamoto....
Jacques Viljoen Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Maybe they will have to look outside the spez stable.
rouxtjie Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Sauser and Evans.........Swaerie, as much as I would love to see that, I just can't see it happening.
rouxtjie Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Is knox still with spez? Mmmm......I dont think he is anymore...don't know for sure though.
Mr X Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 It would be cool if mtb stage racing could become more individualistic or more like road cycling team based. It would be nice to see Sauser destroy all opposition like this year in the Attakwas where he won with a massive gap, a new course record, despite multiple punctures and mechanicals.
