It showed us how the company is passionate about DH and racing.
Sinyard, and I don’t know a lot of bosses who are involved like this in Sports Marketing. One last detail, but maybe the most important detail in our decision: Loic and I received a personal message from M. We have the feeling, too, that R&D is really strong and all details are well thought on the bike. When the boys tested the bike, it confirmed everything. To be honest, we also had another good financial offer, a higher one, but it was definitely a different way of work, and it was not the first choice of the key guys in the team. They understood that a good result is not just a good athlete or the best bike, but also a great atmosphere, where everybody in the team is able to make his own contribution to perform. The opportunity was unique, because we had the chance to keep the same working process with same staff and riders. “I was really proud to work with our partners, and in the eight years, we created something really special, but when we had first contact with Specialized, we felt that it was time to move.
With a full team presentation to follow in early 2016, Loic, Loris, and Finn will rely on the radical S-Works Demo 8 carbon downhill race frame with single-sided seatmast as well as Specialized 2FO shoes and full complement of Downhill Tires. Heading to California in January to link up with everyone is something I’m really looking forward to!” – Finn Iles I think this is an amazing opportunity, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. With this upcoming year being my first year of racing junior, I am honored to have such an amazing brand behind my back. Last year was an awesome experience, to see how well the team worked together blew my mind. I am super happy to be continuing on with such a good group of guys. “This, my second year in the team (Pure Agency), is going to be exciting. It is a youthful, super talented roster throughout, so it is safe to say the future is bright!” Between Troy on our Factory Team, and then also Loic, Loris, and Finn, four of the very best riders in the world will board a Demo at the highest level of completion. At the end of the season, we bid farewell to Aaron Gwin after an awesome season, but at the same time, we look forward to the future and are excited to be supporting more riders than ever before. “The overall structure of the team finally came together and the results the guys achieved on the race course really backed that up. “2015 was in many ways our best season yet,” said Benno Williet, Team Manager for Specialized’s Factory MTB programs. Really excited for the future!” – Loris Vergier And now, a dream came reality, riding with the biggest brand in the world with still the same crew is an amazing opportunity that I’m really proud of. “I’ve been with the team since I started on the World Cup circuit, and I always thought that it was almost perfect, with good friends, good atmosphere, and good sponsors. We are already working on the bike and tires to be ready for the season 2016 that is promised to be a blast.” I’m looking forward to ride well with my Rainbow Jersey and the Demo, of course, I’ll try to do great stuff with it. Reaching this step is a big satisfaction for me and the team, it is what we need and we know Specialized is the right partner for new things.
The brand already has a great history, and I’m excited about being part of it-it’s always been a dream. I was really seduced by joining such a big family.
We have all ambition and we are all able to deliver really professional work while still having fun. The team and I have worked hard during the past few years to reach a high level. Loic Bruni had this to say about the change, “I’m really excited about changing rigs for many reasons, and it gives me coherence in the way I see my career.
