MMR Factory Racing to focus only on women in 2023

The Spanish bike brand MMR announces a very young and all-female team: Polish rider Matylda Szczecinska will join existing team riders Raquel Queirós from Portugal and Spaniard Lucía Gómez. The team will be managed by Poland's Kornel Osicki, the former manager of the Kross Orlen team, which ceased operations at the end of 2022.

The 21-year-old Matylda Szczecinska is the latest addition to the MMR Factory Racing Team for the upcoming mountain bike season. Matylda hails from Poland and is the current national U23 champion in cross country and short track, with nine wins since her debut in 2019. The MMR Factory Team continues to rely on 23-year-old Raquel Queirós, the reigning Portuguese cross country and short track champion, and Lucía Gómez, who won the national short track championship title in the U23 category in Spain.

The new team manager is an old acquaintance

The experienced sports manager and former professional cyclist from Poland, Kornel Osicki, is the second new addition to the MMR Factory Racing Team. After working with Kross Orlen for several seasons, he says: "I'm taking on an inspiring challenge in a factory team with young riders who are capable of winning national championships."

The average age of the team members will be 22 in 2023, and the team includes Guillermo Rodríguez as Sports Marketing Manager and Pablo Rodríguez as Chief Mechanic.

At MMR's headquarters in Avilés (ESP), Kornel Osicki and Alberto San Martin, the company's General Director, emphasized "the additional motivation that our factory structure has for 2023. This year will be characterized by the transformation and expansion of the brand. The team is our greatest sporting asset and the perfect testing ground for MMR's technological and technical innovations.

Thanks to Colledani Feijóo

Finally, Alberto San Martin and Guillermo Rodríguez would like to thank the riders who have left the MMR Factory Racing Team to embark on a new phase of their careers. Specifically, Nadir Colledani from Italy and Iván Feijóo from Galicia, whom they wish the highest sporting success.

In the 2023 season, the MMR Factory Racing Team will count on the support of All Mountain Style, Asturias Paraíso Natural, Cafés El Globo, DMT, Esi Grips, Fox Racing, FSA, Galfer, Grip Grab, Hutchinson, Integra Energía, Kimoa, Oakley, Selle Italia, Sportful, Victory Endurance, Wahoo and X-Sauce.
