In cross-country sport, Scott is one of the most successful bike brands in the world. At last June's World Championships alone, the company based near Fribourg won a total of eight medals, two of which were gold. In downhill sport, on the other hand, the company has led a dreary wallflower existence. This is now set to change. Inspired by the great cinema of Danny Ocean's gangster squad, the company wants to start the new season with the downhillers. There are no details about the team yet, but according to insider information, the squad will include the two Swiss champions Nick Beer and Emilie Siegenthaler. They will be joined by Frenchman Fabien Pedemanaud, one of the strongest French downhillers. New Zealand's up-and-coming talent Aari Barret and Swiss riders Mirco Weiss, Robin Hagen and Adrian Weiss are also expected to be part of the team. The team will be led by Claudio Caluori. Scott promises details about the team in February.
