Orbea Factory Team's brave new chapter

New-look squad from Spanish marque square up to a new challenge in the Czech Republic.

Nové Město na Moravě in the Czech Republic is a famously tough place to go racing. The ascents and descents are short but amongst the most technical of the year. The track is lined with Czech fans, 5-deep all roaring the racers on to victory or defeat. 

For the teams of the Endurance side of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series it’s even more. It’s the chance to put the long winters of planning, rider signings and equipment updates to the test amidst the white hot heat of battle. 

Luca Martin, Anne Tauber, Pierre de Froidmont and David Campos were all out in force for the team in green and made their presence more than felt throughout the weekend:

Don’t forget that you can catch all the action from the UCI Mountain Bike Cross-country Marathon, Enduro and E-Enduro World Cup’s from the Finale Outdoor Region on GCN+, Eurosport and discovery+ plus lots of free content on the UCI Mountain Bike World Series YouTube channel.
