Conquista has been following with great interest the progress of new track racing team Dream Seeker.

Brainchild of Olympian and Japanese keirin superstar Yudai Nitta – interviewed for the major keirin feature in Conquista issue 10 – this unique project has the aims of supporting existing elite track stars as they build to Rio 2016, developing future stars with an eye to Tokyo 2020, and raising funds to help the victims of the Fukushima disaster.

The members of Dream Seeker have recently been in action on track for the first time.
