A Conversation with Adrien Boichis
Q: How do you balance road racing with mountain biking at the highest level?
He describes this year as the first time in a World Tour team where the double program is truly integrated, with close coordination between road and MTB coaches. The balance requires careful planning, occasional trade-offs, and leveraging road racing to refresh and enhance MTB performance.
A Conversation with Adrien Boichis

Adrien explains he was competitive from a young age, starting in BMX before moving to mountain bikes, progressing through regional and national levels, and finally reaching international competition. He emphasizes a lifelong love of racing and steady progression through the ranks.
Thomas Frischknecht Interview
Q: How do you decide which riders to bring into the team when you're building a new generation after a star like Nino Schürter?
