Racing Team

“It’s not about what we plan, but what we really do, implement, and achieve together.”

“We just do.”

Another thing setting this team apart? A disregard for convention. Where most racing teams zero in on sponsors for all things cycling, the Mountainbike Racingteam welcomes partnerships with those who share their underlying values of sportsmanship and neutrality. Even their jerseys display sponsors all in one size.

This applies to the team as well, where strict top-down strategic planning takes a backseat to a more open exchange of ideas. “We just do” simplifies team captain Steffen Thum. "When we have a good idea, we run with it.” Who came up with it initially and whether the idea is fully fleshed out is secondary.
