Gstaad enters the world of downhill sports

The vacation resort of Gstaad is the new main sponsor of the "Scott11" team. The international downhill team now bears the name "Gstaad-Scott". The commitment of the vacation destination Gstaad-Saanenland brings advantages on both sides. On the one hand, the team will be expanded and, on the other, Gstaad will become a biking mecca thanks to the collaboration with the downhill team.

The partnership between the Scott downhill team and Gstaad-Saaneland is no coincidence. The network behind the Scott team, including Sébastien Giraldi, Ben Walker and the course construction company Velosolutions, bring a wealth of experience to the construction of the bike park.

GSTAAD-SCOTT will continue to compete in the Downhill World Cups with its athletes Brendan Fairclough, Emilie Siegenthaler, Noel Niederberger and Floriane Pugin. In 4X, brothers Adrian and Mirco Weiss will fly the Scott flag. New to the team is French young talent Patrick Thome and the team's sporting director Cyril Lagneau. The latter was team colleague of "Gstaad-Scott" team boss Claudio Caluori at the Spanish Maxxis team in 2002.
Furthermore, Caluori is very pleased that the "Gstaad-Scott" team can once again count on its previous partners.

The downhill team is also committed to supporting up-and-coming athletes under its new name. Thanks to the support of Gstaad-Saanenland, it is possible for the first time to maintain a so-called "development team". In the coming season, the brothers Pascal and Dominic Tinner, Manuel Marty, Tim Kälin and young hopeful Felix Klee will be competing for the development team.www.gstaad-scott.com
