Video: POV of Tracey Hannah As She Pins It For A Lap Down Schladming

I think this was 1998, might be 97. On one of the custom made Factory ATX 1's, way longer than the standard model, we had a lot of good times testing and racing that bike. I loved it, especially at the World Cups where it really came into its own. I don’t think there's so much between the bikes these days but in the mid 90's I always thought the ATX 1 was a big advantage. Funny bits at the end of this one.— Rob Warner.

BMC has launched its new Team BMC World Cup XC team for 2023. The new factory team from BMC features Steffi Häberlin, Jordan Sarrou, Titouan Carod, Juri Zanotti and Janis Baumann in its ranks. The updated 2023 BMC team brings on new sponsors for the upcoming season with Öhlins suspension and Pirelli tires.

What do skis and bikes have in common? Not that much besides being toys for going down hills on. Either way, Rossignol makes both types of equipment and the Heretic is their 160mm enduro bike that uses a Horst-Link suspension design. The Heretic is the most aggressive model bike in the Rossignol fleet and has been raced under a camouflage paint scheme by their EWS race team, The Bandits, for the last two seasons.
