In addition to Commencal, the French resort of Les Orres will become the title sponsor of the team, which will now be listed in the rankings under the name "COMMENCAL / LES ORRES Team". According to the team management, the collaboration is perfect because Les Orres offers everything a team could wish for. This includes an extensive bike park with many well-prepared enduro and downhill trails, which can be reached quickly thanks to the mountain railroads.

The team's third and final major announcement is the signing of Lisa Baumann. After competing in cross-country races for many years, Lisa became Swiss Elite Enduro Champion last year and won her first U21 race in the Enduro World Series in Crans Montana. "I feel very honored to be part of this team. The huge training support and the family atmosphere of the team have encouraged me in my decision. This is a great opportunity for me and I know that the whole team will do their best to help me reach the highest level in enduro and downhill," says Baumann, delighted with her first professional contract.

Like veteran Antoine Vidal (FRA), Lisa Baumann will be competing in the Elite category this season. Alizés Lassus (FRA) and Jack Piercy (GBR) will both compete in the U19 category, and all riders will be coached by team boss Cécile Ravanel.

In terms of partnerships, the team is very proud to continue its relationships with many of its previous sponsors, in particular Sram, RockShox, Northwave and Schwalbe. One major change is the switch to Duke Racing Wheels for 2022 and beyond. The French-based company, which is committed to excellence, is extremely motivated to work with the team to develop the best gravity wheels.
