New talents in the BIKE Junior Team
The BIKE Junior Team powered by Bulls presents its greatly rejuvenated team for the 2022 season. The focus: U15 and U17.

Since 2003, the bike magazine has been looking after young talent on local race tracks. Many of the team's athletes have already made the leap into the professional ranks. Georg Egger for example, rode in the BIKE Junior Team in his youth. This year, together with Lukas Baum, he won the legendary Cape Epic in South Africa. A reorganisation of the youth team is planned for 2022. The team will focus on the national junior scouting programme and the U15 and U17 age groups.

The athletes of the BIKE Junior Team:

Paulina Lange comes from Münsingen and is competing in her first year in the U17 class. In the 2021 season, Paulina was already regularly seen on the podium in all races of the national junior classification.Photo: Lynn Sigel Paulina Lange comes from Münsingen and is competing in her first year in the U17 class.

Dennis Krimmel, also at home in Münsingen, is already in his fourth year on the team. He also won a slalom as a young U17 in 2021 and will be competing in his second U17 season in 2022.Photo: Lynn Sigel Dennis Krimmel, also at home in Münsingen, is already in his fourth year on the team.

Pirmin Sigel has been part of the team since 2012. However, he will no longer be actively racing in 2022, but will be involved in the organisation. Pirmin will pass on his experience to the young athletes and accompany the team at the sightings.Photo: Lynn Sigel Pirmin Sigel has been part of the team since 2012.

Well supported going into the 2022 season

All of our sponsors are still on board, so we are well supported going into the new 2022 season. Without this generous support and the collaborative partnership of our supporters, the continuation of the team would not be possible. We would therefore like to thank Bulls, Owayo, DT Swiss, Shimano, Swallow and Cratoni.
