Mission 25 successfully completed – Crans-Montana delivered.
When we founded the BIXS Performance Race Team (BPRT) in 2022, the goal was clear: success at the UCI MTB World Championships 2025 in the Canton of Valais. Four years full of ups and downs, dedication, and team spirit – and now we can say: Mission 25 has been successfully accomplished. At the home World Championships in Crans-Montana, our athletes delivered: Bronze in the Team Relay by Ramona Forchini, 4th place in XCO Elite Men for Luca Schätti, and 8th place in XCO Elite Women for Ramona Forchini.

This is the whole story.
The fight, the mission, and more than just racing: It's our path, our drive, and our passion.
For the first time, the BPRT is among the top 10 teams of the 2025 season, making it one of the world's best cross-country teams. We look back on more unforgettable moments in 2025: Luca Schätti becomes Swiss and European champion in XCC, Ramona Forchini is the first woman for BPRT to take 3rd place in XCO Women in Leogang, Marcel Guerrini ends the season with a strong 5th place in Mont-Sainte-Anne. These include overall victories in the Swiss race series Swiss Bike Cup and Bike Revolution, which have made us the No. 1 team.
"In the past four years, we have worked our way up from a nobody team to one of the top ten teams," says Lukas Flückiger – Team Manager BPRT.
We are proud of the entire team, the crew, and all partners who made this journey possible. Experience the entire Mission 25 story in the film – feel what drives us and how we turned the dream of Crans-Montana into reality.
The journey continues. Now it's: Mission 28 – Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
