The Orbea-Fox Team is back for a fourth season, with Damien Oton and Vid Persak returning to lead the EWS team, joined this year by Laura Charles. The French rider has racked up a collection of 10th-20th EWS placings, and hopes to move up this season with her new ride.
 | “It’s a new challenge, and I’m certain this experience will help me improve. For my part, I want to contribute to the team by qualifying for a Top 5. That would be incredible.”—Laura Charles |
The Orbea-Fox National Team is also back, with Gabriel Torralba and Edgar Carballo joined by Pinkbike Academy winner Evan Wall.
 | I am prepping thoroughly with training programs that help me gain confidence and improve my technique. This is the foundation for a strong season—Evan Wall |
