Just recently, a number of members of Team Frankie’s qualified for the Armature World Championship in Denmark – which took place earlier this week (6th September). The 165km road race is a huge event in the sport with a gigantic profile. Riders from all around the world compete representing national teams covering all age ranges.

Next up for Team Frankie’s is the Tour of Sharjah in the UAE. It is a UCI 2.2 categorised stage race is scheduled for 28 November to 1 December. This is a professional race and gets televised which will be great for WJ‘s brand profile as it’s a great place for the company logo to be seen by many. It’s a very tough race through desert conditions, so it takes riders like Team Frankie’s a lot of time to train and be game fit. Paul Turner has promised regular updates on all the race news on Team Frankie’s, so watch this space!

Also coming up soon  is the Abu Dhabi Tour which is the final major race of the UCI season scheduled for 8th to 11th October. It’s a four day stage race with each stage tailored for different types of riders (a climbers stage, a sprinters stage; etc.)  For more information visit: Link

We wholeheartedly wish Paul and team continuing success and strength. Bring us back a gold guys!
