The Unno Factory Racing is reborn

The new Unno Factory Racing is born from the structure of the previous Rogue Racing Team, which now takes a step forward by becoming a factory team under the direct sponsorship of UNNO as the main sponsor.

UNNO Factory Racing kicks off focused on DH with Widmann as the major signing

Although in recent weeks rumors pointed to a new Unno Factory Racing with a dual structure, DH and XCO, the presentation made so far by the brand confirms only a complete downhill team.

The team maintains the base that was already competing at the highest level with the Rogue Racing Team and incorporates a key figure from the international scene.

The French Simon Chapelet will continue to be one of the leaders of the project after being crowned European DH Champion last summer in La Molina. Alongside him will be the Italian Davide Palazzari, the current Italian champion, who at 30 years old has demonstrated consistency and a constant presence in the World Cup.

“New name, same family. New teammates, same feelings. New goals, same motivation. See you soon”. Summarized Palazzari.

The future commitment comes with the incorporation of junior Filippo Murachelli, who debuts in the factory structure with the aim of growing and training within a highly competitive environment.

The big news for the team is the arrival of Veronika Widmann, one of the most established riders in European DH. Widmann has six Italian championship titles and was third in the overall World Cup standings in 2019, bringing experience, proven results, and leadership to an already solid team.

“This project sparked my curiosity and motivation from the very first moment. UNNO is an elite and highly respected brand in our industry, and together with Rogue Racing, this seems like the beginning of a truly exciting and productive journey. I am very eager to see what we can achieve in 2026”. Explained Widmann.

On the technical side, the team is expected to compete with the UNNO BURN, the model with the longest travel from the brand. For now, it has not been communicated whether there will be specific evolutions, prototype versions, or exclusive developments for competition.
