There are announcements we wish we never had to make. Today, we have to announce the end of the Lapierre PXR Racing Team. In the current context facing Lapierre, we are forced to bring our participation in the UCI Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup to an end, which also means the conclusion of our competition programme in this discipline.
This difficult decision in no way diminishes the work accomplished by the team. It is not related to the performances, commitment or dedication of our athletes and staff. On the contrary, we are proud of the adventure we have shared, the races we have competed in, the challenges we have overcome and, above all, the human adventure we have experienced throughout this season.
Thank you to the team
To Nicole, Anton, Anne, Tobias and Caroline, as well as the entire staff: thank you. Thank you for your energy, passion, high standards and commitment. Thank you for representing Lapierre with pride and determination at the highest level of international XC racing. Beyond the results, we will remember the moments we shared, the people we met and all the memories that brought this team to life.
Thank you to our partners
An adventure like this cannot exist without those who support it. Thank you to Michelin, Julbo, SRAM, RockShox and Zéfal, as well as all our partners, for your trust, support and commitment alongside us. You helped make this project possible and contributed to writing a memorable chapter in Lapierre’s sporting history.
Thank you to you
Finally, thank you to everyone who followed and supported us: trackside, behind your screens or across social media. Your support accompanied us through every race and every moment of this adventure.
Today, one chapter comes to an end. The Lapierre PXR Racing Team is coming to a close, but the memories, the connections and everything we have built together will remain in our minds and in the history of the brand.
Competition may be coming to an end. The passion for mountain biking and cycling that drives Lapierre continues.
Thank you for being part of this adventure.
