In 2014, the Federation of German Cyclists' XC squad will consist of 32 athletes. World Cup winner Sabine Spitz and Vice World Champion Manuel Fumic lead the formations of national coaches Peter Schaupp and Frank Brückner.
In the elite area, Sabine Spitz and Adelheid Morath are undisputed for women, and Manuel Fumic and Moritz Milatz for men. Hanna Klein is back in the squad after establishing herself as the third force in 2013. Marathon DM third place Elisabeth Brandau is not on board for the time being after a year with injuries and illnesses.
In the men's category, Markus Schulte-Lünzum and Martin Gluth from the U23 advanced. Above all, Schulte-Lünzum, third in the Elite European Championship, is confident that he will quickly establish himself in the new class. Markus Bauer and Simon Stiebjahn have shown, not least at the World Cup finals in Norway, that they can catch up.
