Being on a professional MTB team, there is a lot of travelling involved before and during race time. Nino Schurter and SCOTT-Odlo MTB Racing spent a decent amount of time in South Africa and California preparing for the upcoming World Cup season, which is just around the corner.

The Hunt for Glory Chapter 2

South Africa is where the team heads every year to start their season. Unlike recent years, Nino Schurter kicked-off the pre-Olympic race season at the the Bonelli US CUP and the Sea Otter Classic in California. "At Sea Otter, my team mate Jenny Rissveds and I competed in four races, and it resulted in 4 podiums. It was a very cool experience to race in California and definitely felt good to bike where MTB was born," Nino says.

Chapter two gives an inside view into the team`s life and all the preparation professional racing requires. “Everything we do in 2015 has just one goal: to be the most fit possible for the Olympic Race in Rio in 2016.”

 Nino is such a badass. Most of these top XC guys can descend faster down a lot of trails than the average downhiller and they obviously have world class fitness. All around monsters.

 CAN'T WAIT! Race season is the best season. Really looking forward to another year of Schurter/Absalon dueling... we'll see if Absalon's magical softail helps him out at all

 Nino's proud of his team's skill in negotiating airline baggage fees. Such a non superstar athlete attitude, love it!
