Ranking information:

• A new ranking, integrated into the 2014 FMB World Tour structure
• Factory Team ranking is open to all bike manufacturers
• Each Factory Team will be ranked according to the top 6 results from their registered athletes
• Factory Teams can register until April 18th. Click here to apply.

This year, athletes will not only be riding for the FMB World Tour Champion title but also for the chance to crown their bike manufacturer with the all new, FMB World Tour Factory Team title.

Every year we see the riders going head to head for the FMB World Tour title and each year the level rises and we are blown away by the action. This year, the FMBA is also giving bike companies a platform to compete on. Their efforts, support and input into the mountain bike industry should be well recognized. Essentially, without them athletes would not be able to compete on the level which has established today. Naturally, all the legwork will be left to the riders - they will represent their factory team and be battling to rise above the other competing teams for the overall title. The ranking already includes some of the very best manufacturers with solid riders, so we can expect the battle to be fierce. The new Factory Team ranking will also give fans, media as well as companies the chance to follow the achievements of the Factory Teams and their registered athletes.

The Factory Team ranking is as official as it gets, you can follow the ranking to see which bike manufacturer is leading the season on the official ranking page.

Let’s take a look at which Factory Teams have already registered:

Earlier this year, the FMBA announced the new FMB Diamond Series and the FMB Factory Team ranking is another step in the progression of the sport. With so many innovative manufacturers on the scene producing awesome bikes – it’s time to see which team can rise to the top. Mountain bike fans tend be very loyal, early on they will choose a brand and stick with them as the years go by. Now, loyal fans have the opportunity to follow their favorite factory team throughout the FMB World Tour season. Good luck to all the riders and Factory Teams!

 Trek C3.

 Bergamont team is absolutely one to look out for. Sindre is an amazingly talented rider and I would guess Pavel will be hungry when he recovers!

 I'm definetly for Canyon! Anton, Thoma, Pete
There's just Red Bull, Red Bull, Red Bull on their helmets (:

 it's a bummer not to see chatel or highland on the schedule again this year...anyone know why both of those got canned? they were some of the best of the year.
  • 2 0
 Highlands down because of lack of funding, it takes roughly 100K or more to host a gold event. Not too sure about Chatel though, might be an unsanctioned event this year
  • 7 1
 Where andreau under yt??
  • 2 2
 Where's*
  • 13 0
 He has not taken a FMB license, because he says that it has got nothing to do with "Freeride Mountain Bike" as the name claims.
  • 1 0
 Ooo gotcha.

 I'd say Canyon (because all there team competes in pretty much every contest and places well)
It could be Trek ( but with Semenuk focusing mainly on video) it seems Tom and Brett will have to really shred.
Can't wait to see the tour start and the team battling begin

 Would of been cool to see country's compete, the uk would stand a decent chance then!
  • 3 0
 uhmm... where the hell is sam pilgrim with the NSbikes team
morpheus might take the win, if not it will be pavel alekhin Smile

 To be honest I think it will be the big S or YT, cuz i think its good to have riders from both Europe and USA/CAN in the team, because the US riders dont always come to every EU contest and vice versa!
