Interbike Expo Day II - Catching Up With...

With the whole of Slipstream/Chipotle management in the INTERBIKE Media Center today for the announcement of their kit contest, I had the opportunity to speak with one of their new additions, Magnus Backstedt.

Maggie was in the INTERBIKE Media Center carrying [and I use that term lightly, quite literally] around a concept bike (inset) tricked out by the guys at Groupe de Tete [more on them a little later]. The bike weighed an astonishing 7 lbs.

Overall, Maggie seems very pleased with his decision to sign with Team Slipstream/Chipotle. He is anxiously looking forward to the team's training camp and the opportunity to meet his new teammates. In the meantime, he is going to continue his off season training practice of riding on the pines, as he's slated to ride with the Swedish National Track Team.
