STRIVE FOR PROGRESSION, NOT PERFECTION

FMD Racing is an international Downhill Mountain Bike race team competing in both junior and elite categories of the UCI World Cup Series, UCI World Championships and other selected International mountain bike events around the world. The FMD Racing team consists of not only talented British riders, but also the most amazing staff.

Formed in 2009, international racing commenced in 2012, resulting in 3 world cup wins and the junior overall title. In 2013, we added another rider to our roster and finished the year with multiple World Cup wins and an overall junior World Championship title. 2014 ended on a high with the team taking a first year elite Bronze at the World Championship in Norway.

It is and has been important to us to continually improve. From that early decision to start racing to the development of the team, it is our philosophy to provide our riders with the best possible chance of success – not just now but in the future. Not only that but we believe that in order for our sport to grow, it is important to evolve from the ground up – breeding World Class athletes from well constructed foundations to continue to inject new blood into the sport.
