Thomas Litscher joins the Kross Orlen Cycling team of Ondrej Cink

Swiss rider Thomas Litscher announced yesterday his new team for next season, Kross Orlen Cycling. After his farewell to KMC Orbea, Litscher will partner Ondrej Cink in the following World Cup races, making one of the most explosive pairs of the international XCO.

Last season he did not have very consistent results in World Cup races, but he still came close to the podium in Leogang with a 6th place. Litscher, who was bronze medalist at the 2017 World Championship, at 32 will start the 2022 season with Kross Orlen Cycling, one of the most important teams in the international XCO thanks to Czech rider Ondrej Cink. Cink is one of the riders who is giving more battle the last seasons and we would not be surprised that the arrival of Litscher will serve them both as a revulsive to enhance the most explosive part of both. It would not even be strange if he could focus on the Short Track races, which this year will have an independent classification.

"I‘m proud to announce that I will continue my racing career Kross Orlen Cycling team. I am really happy to get the chance to benefit from such an experienced and professional environment with teammates like Ondrej Cink and Bartolomej Wawak , we will be able to attack the team ranking and deliver a lot of strong fights for good results for Kross Orlen Cycling winter preparation is already in full swing and my goals for the coming season are set can't wait to kick off the season with the first races in Spain."

So from his presentation we can deduce that it will be in Banyoles or Chelva when we will be able to see Litscher wearing the colours of his new team in competition.
