The team will retain its core line-up: Victor Koretzky, Christopher Blevins, Laura Stigger, Sina Frei and Haley Batten continue to form the core. New to the squad are the talented Adrien Boichis and 2024 U23 season dominator Martin Vidaurre from Chile. Both are moving up from the U23 category to the elite and want to position themselves well in the elite field. The mix of experience and up-and-coming riders should keep Specialized at the top of the world.

With Tara Lazarski as Head of Sport and Prof. Michael Posthumus as Performance Director, the team is receiving new strategic impetus. Their focus is on further developing the riders with optimal support and state-of-the-art training methodology.

The Specialized Factory Racing Team will compete in all races of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series as well as in selected marathon and gravel competitions. The athletes will rely on the S-Works Epic 8, combined with Roval Control SL wheels and innovative body geometry components for maximum efficiency and control.

With a strong team, clear goals and technical innovations, the Specialized Factory Racing 2025 Team wants to be at the forefront once again.
