The Orbea FOX Factory Team will be present in the two consecutive races held in Araxá over two consecutive weekends. Alongside Andreassen will be Canadian Jennifer Jackson and Belgian Pierre de Froidmont, while Rebecca Henderson will be absent due to an injury suffered in Australia.

The characteristic Brazilian circuit, known for its red clay trails, will offer special variations for each race, promising two exciting tracks.
