Scott and Think & Build Velo Solutions Ltd are excited to officially announce their downhill and fourcross factory racing team, SCOTT 11.
The last months of preparation were thrilling, for the riders as well as for the staff, as Scott 11 has been built from zero.
With its first collective training camp this week in Italy, Scott 11 has officially started the season. The team riders Fabien Pedemanaud (France), Nick Beer (Switzerland), Aari Barrett (New Zealand), Emilie Siegenthaler, Mirco and Adrian Weiss and Robin Hagen are keen to rock their Scott Gambler and Scott Voltage bikes!
Equipped with Shimano, DT Swiss, FSA Gravity, Fox Suspension, Schwalbe tires, Prologo seats and E-Thirteen Chainguides, the Scott Gamblers passed the hardest tests in San Remo with a smile, so the Park Tools only had to be used to change the testing parts.
So did our riders, protected with TSG helmets, gloves and pads, styled with Scott clothing and energized with Red Bull.
With its base in the wonderful ski resort of Châtel, Portes du Soleil, right on the French-Swiss boarder, Scott 11 will focus on World Cups, but also race at the IXS European Cups as well as the IXS Swiss Cups. Scott 11 will hold its Champ Camps in Châtel, where everybody gets the chance to ride with the pros of the team and profite from their tips.
Scott 11 whishes to thank all its Sponsors mentioned above, including Autofrank.ch Güller Bausysteme and Movetec.ch, who made this adventure possible.
Special thanks to Aweka AG for helping us in every situation!
