While Mondraker was previously better known for its victories in downhill racing, the Spanish brand celebrated its first World Cup victories in cross country with the Primaflor Mondraker Team back in 2022. For us, racing is not just about emotion and the will to win, but also a way to push our technology to the limit. That's why we're at the start line. Now Mondraker feels it's time to take its commitment to a new level and is entering the 2025 season with the Mondraker Factory Racing XC Team.

Mondraker has been able to recruit former World Cup racer Sergio Mantecón as team manager. Mantecón brings with him the experience of over 20 years of racing and has already stood on the World Cup podium himself. With this experience, he will lead a team of five racers and eight support staff. "I'm super happy to be part of the Mondraker family. Just like me, Mondraker has racing deeply rooted in its DNA. It's an honor, but also a huge challenge to lead this ambitious project and ride it to the top of the world. We have a great team full of talent and all the tools to get there," says the Spaniard happily.

The team riders

• Mona Mitterwallner: The Austrian is only 22 years old, but has already won several World Cups and is a two-time world champion in the mountain bike marathon. Mitterwallner is also racing on the road this season, where she rides for the professional team "Human Powered Health Cycling".
• Sebastian Fini: The 29-year-old Dane is one of the podium contenders in the World Cup. The multiple Danish champion may not have had his best season in 2024, but he has proven in previous seasons that he has what it takes. He finished fourth at the World Cup in Petropolis and third at the Short Track World Cup in Mont Saint Anne.
• Nadir Colledani: The soon-to-be 30-year-old was often overshadowed by his colleagues Luca Braidot and Simone Avondetto. However, the 2021 Italian cross-country champion regularly rode among the top 20 in the World Cup last year and has the potential to crack the top 10 again.
• Tamara Wiedmann: The 23-year-old Austrian grew up in Haiming, where one of the most top-class cross-country races in the World Cup takes place every year. Wiedmann is a multiple medal winner at Austrian championships, but drew particular attention to herself at the World Cup in Mont Saint Anne with ninth place in the elite race.
• Alejandro García: This is the first U23 year for the young Spaniard. Garcia was Spanish junior champion in cross country, celebrated his first victory in the UCI Junior Series in Heubach in 2024 as well as numerous top 10 finishes at world level and finished sixth at the Cross Country World Championships in Vallnord.
