Scott11 backs new gravity team

Scott Bicycles is sponsoring a new World Cup downhill and four cross team, Scott11. The team compliments the bike manufacturer's existing Scott-Swisspower World Cup cross country squad. Scott11 is a developmental program for both riders and the Scott Engineering department.

"We stepped up for 2009 and became title sponsor to Scott-Swisspower, the brainchild of Thomas Frischknecht," said Scott's Adrian Montgomery. "With Scott11, we took a similar approach by investing in another professional Claudio Caluori, who could mentor and guide young riders on the way up. At the same time, we gain valuable experience we can use to further develop our gravity product and the entire Mountain Segment."
