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: http://www.fmbworldtour.com/en/rankings/factory-team-ranking.html
