Mondraker Factory Racing is made up of nine support staff members and three athletes who will be introduced later on social media on January 18, 22 and 24.

This is a very exciting time for both Mondraker and the team. Having the opportunity to grow a project like this from the ground up with the brand I grew up racing with is a dream come true. Additionally, I couldn't be more excited about the new athletes and the team we've built behind them. Everyone gelled immediately and we love the passion for challenges. We are also eager to transfer all the development that comes from the competition to the production line and make everything valid for the brand – Jorge García, Team Manager

We have always sought to develop the best technology available, pushing it to the absolute limit on some of the most difficult tracks in the world, so it was inevitable that we would end up where we are now, with the Mondraker Factory Racing team, because we simply knew we wanted a facility with all the resources of the brand behind it to best meet the needs and potential of some of the best athletes in the world. Simply put, we want Mondraker to return to the top in racing downhill international.

Written by

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
