Three time WC overall 4X champ Anneke Beerten has announced she will be riding a Trek not only in WC 4X but also riding XC aswell. I say go for the triple Anne and race WC downhill too! Respect.

Dutch fourcross athlete Anneke Beerten will be joining the Trek-Brentjens Mountainbike Racing Team, powered by Milka as per January 1st, 2011. Beerten has won the fourcross World Cup three times in a row in her impressive career, taking the overall win in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
