FMD Racing to Ride Orbea Bikes (?)

Sources suggest that the FMD Racing team may transition from Canyon to Orbea bikes in 2025, marking a significant shift in their partnership.

FMD Racing, led by Tahnee Seagrave, has been associated with Canyon since 2020. After four years with the brand, the team appears poised to explore new opportunities with Orbea starting in 2025.

If these rumors prove accurate, it raises questions about their equipment lineup. Will the team continue to utilize the modified eMTB that Martin Maes raced this season, or is Orbea developing a new, dedicated platform for downhill racing? If FMD is indeed partnering with Orbea, it's reasonable to speculate that a fresh gravity-oriented bike could be on the horizon.

Interestingly, some rumors also hint that Martin Maes might join the FMD Racing roster as part of this potential shift to Orbea.

Both FMD Racing and Orbea were approached for comment, but neither has provided any confirmation or details at this time.
