The Origine Racing Division breaks into the XCO World Cup

As we announced a few months ago, the French brand Origine has just officially stepped up to the elite of XCO. The Origine Racing Division is an ambitious project born under the auspices of Origine with the leadership of the French legend Maxime Marotte and star signings Mathis Azzaro and Martina Berta.

The new Origine Racing Division has just been presented with the ambition of being one of the best XCO teams in the world

The goal of the new Origine Racing Division is to position itself among the best teams in the world in XCO, but just take a look at its members to be convinced that it won't be rare to see them fighting with the best from the start.

The Origine Racing Team will have the leadership of Maxime Marotte, who after almost 20 years as a professional rider, takes on the role of manager. His vast experience and knowledge will be key to guiding the team to success. Alongside him, Mathieu Durand, with 10 years as team manager and a professional relationship of 15 years with Marotte, brings a solid strategic vision.
