The SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing Team has a long, successful history in mountain bike racing. It all started in 2002, when Thomas Frischknecht became the face of SCOTT’s racing program to start the SWISSPOWER team with Andi Seeli. The team’s philosophy is built around developing young, talented riders from Switzerland such as Florian Vogel, and from 2003 – present, Nino Schurter. By bringing these riders into a professional structure and providing them with both opportunity and support, the SCOTT-SRAM MTB Racing Team is the definition of a success story - one which continues today, having created National, World Cup, World and Olympic Champions over the years. While Olympic and World Champion Nino Schurter takes the role of leader, team manager Thomas Frischknecht runs the most successful Cross-Country team on the World Cup circuit with a lot of experience. World Champion Kate Courtney and Filippo Colombo are the latest additions to the team, alongside long-standing member Andri Frischknecht.
