It's a new year and a new set of sponsors have been announced, Ben Thomas Racing has no less than 16 sponsors! I'm really happy to have the 2012 sponsorship line up sorted and think you'll agree that the sponsors are some of the best brands in the industry. Having Mountain Trax as title sponsor didn't take much persuasion, leaving TORQ and returning to my original team felt like returning home. It's going to be a great place to be and hopefully having the support from Mountain Trax, team director John, and my friendly teammates will help push my results to the next level.
I have some key goals set out for the year ahead, I'm not quite ready to tell all about these but the crucial people on the team know what these are and are ready to help me get there. Hopefully you've found the facebook page, if not head over there now and click the like button. https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ben-Thomas-Racing/330790256947713 I've just finished my third block of base training and have totalled my biggest training hours ever for November and December so things are going well. After a weeks recovery I'll start to introduce some speed work and then the racing will begin, see you on the start line!
Over Christmas I joined the Mountain Trax team for a team ride and skill session. Here\'s a little video i\'ve put together, filmed by Chris White.
Over the next year i'll be posting blogs, photos, and videos on XC Racer, I hope you enjoy reading them as I race around the world.
Thanks for reading.

None of this would be possible without the help of my sponsors
