BMC reorganizes its mountain bike team

After three years under the leadership of two-time Olympic champion Julien Absalon, an old acquaintance is returning: Alex Moos will become sporting director of the newly founded team, while Amaël Moinard will lead the team. An old acquaintance is also slipping back into the BMC colors on the rider side - 2020 World Champion Jordan Sarrou. Together with Swiss riders Steffi Häberlin and Janis Baumann, he strengthens the team around the previous athletes Titouan Carrod and Juri Zanotti.

The year 2023 marks more than ten years of BMC's presence at the forefront of mountain bike racing. The team has won World Championships, World Cups, European and national titles and has been the best World Cup team for several years in a row.

This season, BMC wants to build on its success in cross country and is presenting the new factory team as the owner for the first time. The owners of both the first and second World Cup teams were Alex Moos and Julien Absalon. BMC always acted as title sponsor back then. Moos is now returning to the team as sporting director, certainly for the next three years. As of this year, Amaël Moinard from France will be in charge of team management. The former French professional cyclist rode in BMC colors from 2011 to 2017.

Moinard is confident that the team will be on the podium this season. While up-and-coming Swiss rider Steffi Häberlin secures BMC's presence in the women's World Cup, returning world champion Jordan Sarrou and World Cup race winner Titouan Carod make up the team's highly promising front line. The team is completed by Italian Juri Zanotti and Swiss U23 hopeful Janis Baumann.

In the 2023 season, Team BMC will compete in the World Cup on the Fourstroke and Twostroke models and will be able to draw on the entire BMC range for projects away from the cross-country tracks. The team is supported by strong partners such as Öhlins, Pirelli, Sram, Abus and Assos of Switzerland. The involvement of Öhlins is interesting. The Swedish suspension specialist has so far made a name for itself primarily in the gravity disciplines and is now presenting itself for the first time on the big cross-country stage.

Team BMC is aiming to be at the forefront of the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games. The 2025 World Championships in Switzerland are also one of the major goals they are working towards.
