Commencal Schwalbe break cover

Three-man team announced ahead of UCI Downhill World Cup season getting underway.

The UCI Downhill World Cup squad, Commencal Schwalbe, have added Australia’s Olly Davis to their existing roster of Spain’s Pau Monoyo and America’s Austin Dooley ahead of the opening round of the year in Fort William, Scotland.  

Davis' name was one linked to several big name teams after a superb 2023 season which saw him crack the elusive elite men’s top 10. He had a superb run of form to kick off the second half of the year when he finished 11th in Pal Arinsal, Andorra, 7th in Snowshoe, WV, and 15th in Les Gets at the UCI Mountain Bike World Series Festival Haute Savoie.  

I’m very grateful to be riding for Commencal Schwalbe for the next two years! I have already spent some time with the team and I can say it is full of great people who all share the same goals. We have the best brands supporting us and I’m super excited for this coming season! 

Oliver Davis, Commencal Schwalbe 

All eyes will be on the opening round of the Gravity side of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series when it gets underway in Fort William, Scotland 03 – 05 May. Tickets are on sale now.
