"My goals for 2013 are to have a really solid performance in the classics season with the look to target the Tour of Flanders."

The first thing to say about Russell is, he is a fighter who never gives up while the race is on. Before Team Endura Racing he was with team Sky for two years, where his wins included the second stage of the Critèrium International as well as the Tour de Wallonie overall. He is a fast finisher who can also put in a great day’s climbing. You’ll always find Russell first in line – not only at the races but also in his daily life. He pushes his teammates and is always hustling himself and the other riders. The team will count on Russell’s mentorship for the younger riders – for technical race tactics and also for building their mental toughness.
