A spirit of optimism at STEVENS headquarters
A spirit of optimism prevailed at STEVENS headquarters: the new STEVENS Youngster Team for the 2025/26 season was officially presented to great anticipation and enthusiastic applause. The ambitious junior project is aimed at young talent in cyclocross (CX) and on the road - and expressly sees itself not as competition, but as a valuable addition to the home clubs. The aim is to strengthen young talent in German cycling, promote team spirit and give riders a platform on which they can develop.
High-profile guests at the presentation
The celebratory presentation was attended by numerous supporters as well as high-profile guests: Bernd Dankowski, President of German Cycling, paid tribute to STEVENS' commitment to the next generation. Werner von Hacht, founder of STEVENS, spoke passionately about the importance of such projects: “Young athletes need opportunities to try things out and grow - this is exactly where our concept comes in.”
STEVENS as a strong partner for young cyclists
STEVENS has made a name for itself as a loyal supporter of cycling since it was founded. The company has been supporting young cyclists for years with great commitment and is also behind this project as a sponsor and strong partner. In this way, STEVENS not only creates the sporting, but also the technical basis for future success.
More than medals: The shared spirit
“Medals are not the most important thing - it's the shared spirit that counts,” emphasized Sebastian Hannöver, who helps shape the team's vision as Sports Director. Team Manager Jens Schwedler, himself a legend in cycling, also put it in a nutshell: "Our riders are more than individual fighters - they learn teamwork, discipline and reliability with us. These are values that go far beyond sport."
Looking to the future
The STEVENS Youngster Team is therefore entering the 2025/26 season with a clear message and a strong foundation: promoting young talent, opening up prospects for them and working together to bring cycling in Germany forward.
We are excited about the upcoming races and adventures - and look forward to everything that lies ahead!
