The disappointment of the world championship has left Sanders hungry for more. Since the result, Sanders has begun to build a team around him. In recent Youtube videos, he has mentioned his involvement with numerous “advisors” – working with Gerry Rodrigues at Tower 21, consulting a former coach to help periodize his training, getting a bike fit done by Ivan O’Gorman and signing a new bike sponsor, Canyon USA.
