Felt starts the 2011 season with a talent team

Another cross-country team is emerging in Switzerland that is making a strong effort to recruit young talent. This time it is Felt, which is presenting the "JB Felt Team", an eight-strong squad from Switzerland and Germany.

The driving force behind the team is Joe Broder, who already has many years of racing experience with several racing teams. The best-known member of the team squad is Virginie Pointet from western Switzerland, who has previously raced in the colors of the Bikepark.ch team and, as a 20-year-old, already has a lot of World Cup experience. The age structure of the team also shows that the promotion of young talent is a top priority: All athletes are between 15 and 20 years old, with the sole exception of 23-year-old Fabienne Grünig. The focus for the upcoming season is on national races, in particular the Racer Bikes Cup and the MTB Bundesliga. However, participation in the World Cup races in Europe and South Africa is also planned.
