Some news about my future. I signed again with BMC. I`m very proud to be part of this successful team and represent one of the best Bikebrands in the World. Thanks everybody. Read the official Press Release down here: Ralph Näf, Martin Fanger and Reto Indergand ex- tend their contracts with the BMC Mountainbike Racing Team Ralph Näf, Martin Fanger and Reto Indergand, who have been with the team for the past two years, renewed their contracts for another year. They will race alongside Julien Absalon and Lukas Flückiger, both of whom con- firmed their commitment to the BMC Mountainbike Racing Team after the XCO World Championships in Norway earlier this month. The 34-year-old Näf who started his career 16 years ago and came 10th at the XCO World Championships in Hafjell, Norway, at the beginning of September still has the ability to race with the very best riders in the cross country circuit. “Ralph plays a very important role in the team and is a highly respected and decorated athlete. Part of his role is to continue passing on his extensive knowledge to the younger riders in the team,” explains the team’s sportive director Alexandre Moos. The team furthermore announced the extension of Martin Fanger’s and Reto Inder- gand’s contracts. Martin, the 26-year-old XC Eliminator Swiss Champion who demonstrated his abilities earlier this year at the World Cup in Nové Město will profit from the experience of his teammates. Reto, who at 23 years of age is the youngest rider in the team, has just successfully completed his first season in the elite category. “The transition into another category is always challenging”, explains  Moos. “We are confident that Reto has the potential to push forward as he contin- ues to learn from the other riders in the team.” Team Manager David Chassot confirms; “It’s almost impossible to top the past sea- son winning the overall World Cup, the title for the best team as well as the Europe- an Champion and World Champion titles. Both riders and staff are very motivated working together for the upcoming season.”
