Linda Indergand becomes sports director of the NEXETIS team

Das reine Frauenteam Nexetis

Just a few weeks after retiring from professional cycling, Linda Indergand is starting a new chapter. The 2021 Olympic bronze medal winner is joining the NEXETIS Women's Team as sporting director. Together with Edi Telser, she will be responsible for the targeted development of the young Swiss women's team from 2026, with a particular focus on mountain biking.

The NEXETIS Women's Team can look back on a strong first year: stage wins and overall successes in smaller tours, podium places in the Mountain Bike World Cup and a top ten result in the overall standings of the Tour de Romandie underline the successful development of the team under the leadership of Anna Wiese and Edi Telser.

In order to be optimally positioned for the second season, the team management analyzed the first season in detail. Among other things, this revealed a structural deficit in the support of the mountain bike area. This is an area of responsibility that Telser has often taken on in addition, although as the Swiss national coach for the road riders, he is primarily required on the road.

With this in mind, the Board of Directors and the team management have decided to make personnel adjustments. Linda Indergand will take over the sporting management alongside Edi Telser with immediate effect, succeeding Anna Wiese. The Uri native, who ended her active career in the fall, will focus primarily on mountain biking and support Telser on the road on a selective basis.

"We are delighted to welcome Linda Indergand, a well-known face from the Swiss cycling scene, to the team," says Thomas Peter, President of the Board of Directors. "At the same time, we regret having to end our successful collaboration with Anna Wiese. She has done crucial development work and contributed significantly to the success of the first season. We would like to thank her for this."

Preparations for the coming season are already in full swing. An official kick-off event will take place in December, at which the team for 2026 will be presented.
