Mit der Silbermedaille bei der WM in Durango/USA 1990 startete Thomas Frischknecht seine außergewöhnliche und erfolgreiche Mountainbike Rennkarriere. Vor 20 Jahren legte er als Teammanager mit dem Scott Swisspower Mountainbike Team den Grundstein für die Erfolgsstory Nino Schurter. Die Saison 21 war voller Herausforderungen und Druck für Frischi und sein Team. Corona, World-Cup Rennen ohne Zuschauer und ein 4-ter Platz von Nino bei Olympia in Tokyo. Der Europameistertitel von Lars Forster brachte die Wende. Der harte Lernprozess wurde am Ende mit dem 9-ten WM-Titel von Nino belohnt. Ende gut - alles gut und darauf ein Glas Bocca di Lupo. _____________ SHOWNOTES _____________ Mehr Infos zu Thomas Frischknecht: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frischi_nextlevel/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thomasfrischknecht • Webpage: http://www.frischi.ch/ Mehr zum Team Scott-SRAM MTB Racing: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmtbracing/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottmtbracing • Website: http://www.scott-sram.com/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=scott-sram the brand explorer: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/belling_brandcoaching/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bellingAgileCoaching • Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dirkbelling/ • Webpage: http://www.the-brand-explorer.com • Feedback & Questions: [email protected]
