From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rainer-Wurz.com is an international mountain bike team owned and run by former MTB rider Markus Rainer and current Formula One driver Alexander Wurz. The team was formed in 1995 as Rainer Bike Team by Markus after he retired from top-line riding after a severe accident at the United States World Cup round of 1990. In 2000 Markus joined forces with then-Benetton Formula driver and fellow Austrian Wurz, who was a former BMX World Champion. After two successful years, the team were joined by bike manufacturer Cannondale and mobile phone corporation Siemens as sponsors, becoming the Siemens Cannondale MTB team.
Current riders include Cedric Gracia (downhill) and Christoph Sauser (cross-country).
