Swiss Vice Champion Basil Weber, Myles Weber (Elite Men) and reigning Junior Swiss Champion Janosch Klaus have been part of the team for more than six years. This year, the team will be joined by two new faces: reigning Swiss champion Carina Cappellari (elite women) and former Swiss elite champion Lutz Weber (no relation to the team founder).

"I'm really looking forward to starting for teamproject.ch in 2019. Having Basil, Myles, Janosch, Carina and Thomas as teammates is great. I've always wanted to work with some of my best friends. I can't wait to experience the good times and confuse everyone a bit about all the Weber's in one team," says a smiling Lutz Weber.

Carina Cappellari is also delighted with her new team home: "I am very happy to be part of teamproject.ch. The fact that I now have much more time to prepare for the season and that I can work with such great people and partners gives me a huge boost of motivation and self-confidence."

The main focus this year is on the Mercedes-Benz UCI World Cup and the Swiss Championships. The athletes will also take part in selected races of the iXS Downhill Cup. The main goal of all athletes is to meet the criteria for the national team and represent Switzerland at the World Championships in Mont Sainte Anne.
