This year in the ranks of the team we will be lucky enough to be able to follow the three-time Italian marathon champion Juri Ragnoli who, paired with Andri Frischknecht, will support the top couple made up of Nino Schurter and Lars Forster.
The team is currently in South Africa engaged in a training internship. The primary goal is to take measurements with companions, with the new Spark bikes and with the warm temperatures that cross at these latitudes. Ragnoli's call is a real pride both on a professional and athletic level.
"We are thrilled - says Ivano Camozzi president of the SCOTT Racing Team – “since 1988 we have been competing on all Italian competition fields, bringing a long trail of victories and results. In these two very difficult years we have tried to support the guys on the team as best we can. The call from Nino & Co is not random and Juri Ragnoli totally deserves it. The determination demonstrated in international events and the hunger for results met the needs of Team SCOTT Sram who did not miss the opportunity. Juri will race the Cape Epic wearing the colors of the Swiss team and then return with the SCOTT Racing Team and start the season aiming for the classic objectives including the world championship, European xcm and certainly the victory in the most prestigious endurance races"
