NAME: Paul Hore CATEGORY: Director Sportif LOCATION: Thetford			TEAM MANAGER : For Paul, managing the Salsa Factory Race team is a labour of love. It's taken many years to build the team to its current level, but Paul would have it no other way. He brought together many of his long-time friends to form this close-knit team under the Salsa banner. The team's success is in part due to his philosophy that riding should be fun. He does his best to ensure it remains that way by planning biking holidays and other events for the team.
