Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Johnathan Edwards is a physician and a key staff member of the Harden Off Road and KTM Adventure Tours. Since 2004 Dr. Edwards has served as team physician for the KTM Red Bull U.S. Dakar Rally team where his focus includes rider training and physical preparation as well as addressing all issues related to medicinal needs, nutrition, training regimes and recovery therapy. Dr. Edwards is an avid traveler and student. Having trained in medical school in Lyon, France, his command of the French language and familiarity with French culture has proved a great asset for the team. With past aspirations to become a professional motocross racer, Dr. Edwards developed an impressive motorcycle racing background, competing for many years on the pro-am circuit against the likes of Jeremy McGrath, Ryan Hughes and Steve Lamson. However, in 1989 at a crucial part of his motocross career, he suffered a severe knee injury, which required extensive rehabilitation. It effectively ended his racing career but exposed him to the potential of a career in medicine. During his medical career, Dr. Edwards has authored several medical papers and provided published articles in Cycle World, Dirt Rider and MX Racer magazines. Dr. Edwards practices medicine in Las Vegas, Nevada and Washington, D.C. His ultimate dream remains to one day complete in the Dakar Rally on a motorcycle.
