Tri-Dubai wird von einer kleine Troika geführt, die unmittelbar dem amtierenden Scheich von Dubai unterstellt ist. Franko Vatterott, Michael Yuxx und Tony DeBoom kümmern sich neben dem Aufbau des Teams und dem Sammeln von Geldern für gemeinnützige Zwecke eben auch darum, daß die Teammitglieder mit allen wesentlichen Dingen während ihres Aufenthalts in Kona versorgt werden. Wie dem auch sei. Tri-Dubai hat in Kona mit Stadler, Ficker Bentley und Brown märchenhaft abgeräumt und kann Stolz sein.„Team Tri-Dubai is so incredibly proud of our athletes, especially Normann Stadler who despite criticism by his former teammate 3x Iromman WC, Peter Reid, proved to the world that he can not only crush the field on the bike, but he can swim and run with anyone. Normann, along with 5 Tri-Dubai teammates came to a Kona training camp in August. Many people asked why the team wanted to have a training camp like this. With a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finish yesterday - maybe now they understand how beneficial it was for the athletes and why team support is significant.
Team Tri-Dubai also tips our hat to Faris Al-Sultan on a great race too. It is very difficult to defend your title at the Ironman Hawaii and Faris displayed his standout talent and character very well. It was highly emotional for fans to see Normann greet Faris when he came across the finish line on Ali'i drive. Two great Champions. Germany should be proud today of their representation at the greatest one day endurance event in the world.”
