Initiator of this brand new gravity team is Joost 'the Boost' Wichman. The bronze medal winner of the 2011 World Championships found two international sponsors to support this project: German bicycle brand Rose and the French village of Vaujany, situated in a well known mountainbike region near the Alpe d’Huez.

The focus of the team will be Downhill, Fourcross and Enduro. Rose Vaujany has a strong international flavor, with a Dutchman, a Belgian, a German and a girl from England. Rose Vaujany will attend the DH World Cups, the brand new 4X Pro Tour, the IXS Downhill Cups and, of course, the Mega Avalanche. In addition the team will be present at all major bike festivals.
