After just one year with the traditional Italian racing team Bianchi, Gujan is now without a team. Differences of opinion between him and the team management were the reason for the end of the collaboration. Now the 31-year-old can breathe a sigh of relief. England's best cross-country team, the "Orange Monkey Pro Team", is delighted to welcome the Grisons rider. For team manager Paul Beales, the addition of Gujan is another step forward in positioning the team among the world's elite teams: "Martin's signing is another positive step towards achieving our goals. This should also have a positive impact on the team profile and the development of the younger riders in the team."

Although the last few years have not gone according to plan, Gujan is very confident: "I am very happy to be part of the team and am looking forward to the season. I am convinced that I will achieve my goals with the support of the team and hope that the whole team will take a big step forward."

In its ten-year history, the racing team has managed without a title sponsor. With the signing of Gujan and further professionalization, the team hopes to find a title sponsor soon. The Orange Monkey Pro Team rides on Polygon bikes.
