The Swiss Pro Team, Team BSV IBEX, consists of seven Pro athletes for season XI.
“Our main goal is to be top 15 in the Team competition at the end of the season,” says Pro Team Director Markus Walser.
Team BSV IBEX is the first Swiss Pro Team in Visma Ski Classics. The Pro Team will build up their young athletes’ step by step to reach top positions in the Pro series.
“Besides our main goal for season XI we also aim to get top five results in the Youth competition in single races and get one top six placement in the final Youth competition,” says Markus Walser and continues;
“We would also be pleased with some results in the top 30 by the men and top 15 by the women. But for my young team, the results are not that important in season XI. It’s more important that every athlete and we can collect as many experiences as possible as a team.
As for many Pro Teams, the pre-season has involved some planning adjustments, but Team BSV IBEX has been able to carry through lots of good training camps during the summer and the beginning of the autumn.
“We had to cancel our first training camp in May due to Covid-19. In June, we could start with training together at our first camp. Then we had one camp in July, two in August and one in September,” Walser informs.
The team will also have two camps in October and one in November.
“During the summer, we pushed the long distance training and double poling even more than before. So I’m very positive that all my athletes have taken one more step in the right direction,” says Walser.
Lauro Brändli and Kat Paul did their summer training in the winter of Australia. Because of the lockdown, they were not allowed to ski on snow and to compete like planed. But both could train well on roller skis, Walser ends.
