No luck for Scott-Swisspower team at MTB Worlds
Written by Thomas Frischknecht:
Tough luck took away the world champion jersey off Nino Schurters shoulders.
Both Nino and Florian kept flat tires from performing the way they wanted. The whole year Nino had not one flat tire during racing. At the most important race of the year he got two. Same for Florian, he got his flat tire on the start loop and was out of contention early.

SCOTT- Swisspower Team ready for world cup opener
“After a tough and cruel Cape Epic it took to weeks to recover”, said Florian Vogel whohas not raced since this stage race. Even though they did not go full gas every day, both still felt tired from the long days at the office down in South Africa. Tough, it was a good preparation for the world cup season, which starts this weekend at Dalby Forest, UK.
To give the preparation a final tune, Nino and Florian raced successfully at the Sunshine Race in northern Italy last weekend.
