CROSS-COUNTRY MTB
In just four seasons, the French Decathlon Ford team has established itself among the world's best. Things are moving fast for the Decathlon Ford Racing Team. Founded in 2022, the team, which boasts five international riders, exploded onto the scene this year right from the first round of the World Cup, winning the Araxa event in Brazil with Samara Maxwell. The New Zealand athlete, ranked number one in the world, is the breakout star of the mountain biking season. In mid-July, she repeated her success after a dominant performance at the Andorran event. Leading the World Cup standings, "Sammie" Maxwell also took the silver medal at the World Championships in Crans-Montana. But behind the sparkling Kiwi, there is no shortage of results, notably with the multiple US Champion, Savilia Blunk, but also the Italian Greta Seiwald (National XCC Champion), or Joshua Dubau (6th in the 2023 World Cup) and the German David List.
After four seasons, more than sixty international victories, nearly 30 podium finishes in the World Cup, the story of Decathlon Ford is only just beginning.
