Andreas Kolb joins the YT-MOB

Andreas Kolb will auf YT seinen 2. Weltcup gewinnen.

The fastest Austrian, Andreas Kolb, is leaving the Atherton team and joining the "YT MOB" team. The two-time European Downhill Champion and World Cup winner will join compatriot Vali Höll, Irishman Oisin O'Callaghan and Canadian Kasper Woolley in the MOB Downhill World Cup.

With Kolb, YT MOB is one step closer to its vision of becoming one of the top teams on the circuit. While the team has already enjoyed individual success, thanks to these changes, the chances of climbing to the top of the World Cup team rankings are significantly higher, something the MOB has yet to achieve.

"I didn't have to think twice about switching to YT! The team already feels like a family and I feel very comfortable with the new bike and the brand. I'm looking forward to what we can achieve together, but winning a second World Cup with the new team would be a dream for 2025," says Kolb.

Jan-Philipp Becker, Director of Global Brand Marketing at YT Industries adds: "I'm thrilled and honored to welcome Kolb to our YT MOB Factory Race Team. His personality and professionalism are a perfect fit for our brand and our vision to become one of the top teams in the World Cup. Let's bring it on!"

With a new ten-round World Cup season on the horizon, these changes mark YT's commitment to the downhill sector. Testing is in full swing and the team has begun a training camp in South Africa to take a step forward and test suspension setups to ensure the MOB is perfectly prepared for the season ahead.
