Givisiez, January 14th — The SCOTT DH Factory is thrilled to welcome none other than current Vice World Champion and two-time World Cup winner Benoît Coulanges to the team. This exciting French addition will strengthen the squad for the 2025 DH racing season and beyond.
At 30 years old, Benoît Coulanges is already a force to be reckoned with in the downhill scene. During his time with Team Dorval AM, he built an impressive résumé, claiming two French Championship titles and earning countless World Cup podiums. Known for his blistering speed, pinpoint precision, and relentless determination, Benoît is a serious threat on any race weekend. Needless to say, he’s hungry to reclaim the top step of the podium.
Benoît joins the team roster, including rising talents Dylan Levesque and Gonçalo Bandeira, who are eager to make their mark on the international downhill scene. Both riders have shown their potential and are in the start gate to push their limits in the upcoming season, learning from each race and gaining valuable experience alongside their new teammate.
After a challenging year of injury and recovery, Ethan Craik is also set to make his long-anticipated return. Determined and hungry for success, he’s ready to prove his resilience and skill, aiming to reclaim his place among the top guys. With his grit and determination, Ethan is prepared to battle for the top step of the podium and inspire with his comeback story.
With the race season fast approaching, the SCOTT DH Factory team is geared up and ready. A dedicated training camp will kick things off — perfecting bike setups, honing their skills, and pushing the limits on World Cup-worthy terrain. Buckle up and stay tuned — it’s going to be a wild ride!!
“We are looking ahead to an exciting season of racing with our newest addition to the DH Factory team, Benoît Coulanges. With this tall Frenchman, we have a very competitive team structure that will hopefully translate into success down the road.”
