At 25, David List could well be one of the next revelations on the Mountain Bike World Series scene.
After a very consistent 2024 season, David secured his first top-ten finish (8th) at the Lake Placid round in the US. In his first season with Decathlon Ford, the rider from Freiburg showed great promise, getting closer to the world’s top ten. Slowed down by a broken collarbone in June, this hard worker made a huge comeback at his national championships, taking bronze in XCC and fourth place in XCO. He is expected to be back for the second part of the season.
