Swisspower Mountainbike Team

Athletes of Swisspower Mountainbiketeam get ready for the racing season

It’s already a habit and almost a second home for Thomas Frischknecht, Nino Schurter, Florian Vogel and other riders of the team, who stay in Massa Vecchia in Tuscany (IT) for two weeks at the beginning of the racing season for their training camp. A huge network of awesome bike trails and endless roads that are in excellent shape offers the best training possibilities for the riders.

This will be the first time the riders get on their new equipment for the upcoming season. The Spark, Scale and Addict are the weapons the riders use for the daily training and competition. The new designs, even more dynamic in white and yellow, match the carbon frames. The Scale, the fastest and one of the lightest bikes on the World Cup circuit, is still considered the rocket of the team. To be well-protected, the team will wear the Fuga helmet for a second season. Thanks to 27 ventilation holes, the riders can remain cool-headed about their competitors during the races.

After the camp, riders split up into different groups for more season preparations. Florian Vogel and Nino Schurter went directly to Croatia for a road race while Frischi is looking forward to the Cape Epic in South Africa with Tom Ritchey.
