Suspension Center World Cup Team

Helping to extended Point One Racing's global network is Suspension Center, our partner in Switzerland and the surrounding communities. Aside from being a top-notch bicycle parts distributor and service center, they also sponsor a world cup team. You may have seen posts regarding Emmeline Ragot and her amazing season she is having (another second place finish at Maribor last weekend by only 0.31 seconds!), but there are also a few other riders on the team. Such as: Lars Peyer, Max Remy, Anneke Beerten and David Hosang.

Lars Peyer has been moving up the ranks this year, with a "no chain" race win in Wierihorn, Switzerland last month out of 125 riders, you can be sure he has the necessary skills to perform at the highest level. Here in a practice photo, he is running our limited edition DM:



At round #2 of the IXS European Cup, he placed an impressive 6th place, just a mere fraction of a second off of the box.

Emmeline's has been a serious threat to the overall world cup DH title. With three rounds to go, the points are starting to tighten up. Check out the custom direct-mount that she will be using once the team heads over to Canada for the next race.



Currently, the team is ranked 2nd in 4X and 9th in DH for total UCI points.

A big thanks (and good luck for the rest of the season) to Gery and the rest of the Suspension Center team on behalf of Point One Racing. For more information about the team and company, please visit their website: http://www.suspensioncenter.ch/
