Geir Gulliksen: Competing for Norway: from Buskerud: Age 62: Geir enters another consecutive year competing in the GCL team series. As the team manager of the Scandinavian Vikings, as well as a key team rider, he will look to build on his team's strong performance in 2019 and 2021 in the 2022 season. The team finished 9th in the overall season championship in 2021, and impressively won the final leg of the tour in Samorin. Can they build on those exciting performances in 2022?

Henrik will be hoping to get the team off to a strong start for 2022.
