Shimano presents: In Between the Races, a portrait of the painstaking preparation and fierce focus leading up to – and during – the UCI Mountain Bike World Series. In this episode, we join the Orbea Factory Team on their journey from Val di Sole to Talamona to Crans Montana in Switzerland!
Mountain bike racing comes with a particular set of challenges. To arrive at the starting line requires hard and fast work from the entire team. Luckily, the Orbea Factory Team is a tight-knit family of high-performing mechanics, handlers, happy trail dogs, chefs, physicians, physios, drivers, and the amicable team manager Pierre Lebreton. Not to mention the riders themselves, including Chiara Teocchi, Anne Tauber, Luca Martin, and Pierre de Froidmont!
Join this awesome crew as they travel through Italy into Switzerland and share a taste of their lives In Between the Races.
