MTB-News: The time of guesswork and speculation is over. It's ready: The Canyon Factory Downhill Team. The new team's lead rider is Australian Troy Brosnan, who is no stranger to World Cup podiums. He will be closely followed by Canadian downhill talent Mark Wallace and former junior world champion Ruaridh Cunningham from Scotland.
The goal of the Canyon Factory Downhill Team (CFDT) is to fight for top positions with the Canyon Sender CF. The focus is not only on the individual, team and overall rankings of the UCI Downhill World Cup, but also on other world-class downhill races around the world. The goal of the CFDT is to equip the best drivers in the world with the optimal setup and to offer them a team and support system that sets new standards in the scene. Behind the project is none other than multiple world champion Fabien Barel, who as he puts it "is responsible for bringing together the right people with the right structure to get our bike and rider onto the podium'' ''Our bike'' the transmitter will be CF. Troy, Ruaridh and Mark will be the first riders to race Canyon's downhill flagship in the World Cup. Canyon works closely with the team to obtain valuable feedback, which is used in the further development of downhill and mountain bike technologies. Barel, already an integral part of Canyon's Development Department, agreed: "I think that downhill is the Formula 1 of cycling and the experience gained from racing offers optimal knowledge for the new or further development of bikes. Competing in the World Cup will definitely raise the level of performance and technology of the products to a new level''. After a well-filled off-season with extensive tests and a visit to Canyon in Koblenz, where the drivers got to know the factories and engineers, the 3 guys were extremely enthusiastic about the new partnership. According to Troy, “At Canyon it feels like a small family with all the right people in the right places. When something needs to be addressed, it's straight forward and therefore totally uncomplicated and effective'' This is rounded out by team principal Mathieu Gallean, chief mechanic Nigel Reeve, Troy's personal mechanic Aaron Pelttari and mechanic Yoan Jurgau.
