Thomas Litscher joins Team Felt

Thomas Litscher is joining the "Felt Ötztal X-Bionic Worldcup Team" for the coming season. The 21-year-old Litscher is one of the strongest young riders in Switzerland and won the world and European championship titles in the junior class in 2007. At this year's World Championships, Litscher won the silver medal.

"We were already very interested in him last year," says Scheiderbauer, "but we knew that he was contractually bound to the MIG team until the end of 2010." Scheiderbauer expects great sporting achievements from the young Swiss driver. The goal is clear: with Litscher, the "Felt Ötztal X-Bionic Worldcup Team" wants to ride for the U23 World Championship title at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Champery in 2011. "The team's equipment and support staff are perfect for me," says Litscher happily. "If I build on my previous performance and continue to work hard on myself, we can achieve a lot together."
