Champion System Pro Cycling Team is an UCI Professional Continental Team registered in People's Republic of China.
The team features Asia's best cyclists among well experienced riders from all over the world. Our primary goal is to allow Asian cyclists competing at the highest level of their sport, because we believe in their ability to actually ride against the strongest guys in the world. That is why we will be trying to have an international schedule, so that Asian cycling can show its face to the world.

Champion System specializes in the production of high quality custom technical apparel. Not only professional teams but also amateur athletes are relying on Champion System because of its enormous knowledge and quality.
As an Asian company, Champion System is of course heavily triying to support Asian professional cycling. That is why the team is focusing on Asian riders. Nonetheless, Champion System is a company with international ambitions and therefore riders from all over the world got their place in the team as well.

Established in 1899, Fuji Bikes is one of the oldest bycicle brands in the world. Utilising most advanced technology, Fuji offers a whole line of premium bikes - specifically for professional cyclists and everybody who loves cycling in general.
Despite Fuji being an American corporation, it has its roots in Japan and is still known for its Asian originals. Thus our second most important sponsor totally supports our focus on Asian cycling.

Christian De Vries

23-year old Christian De Vries is an absolutely stunning talent. By starting competitive cycling at the age of seven months, he could gain an advantage on all other riders at his age. His parent's decision to make him ride a bike before he was able to walk or even speak may sound weird, but just because of that he is now able to be both young and one of the best leaders in major tours as well.

Not only that he is one of the best climbers in the peloton, he also shows an incredible strength in time trials, although he always needs some time to find a steady rhythm. The total of all that strenghts makes him our team leader for now, without any doubt.
His only problem could be that sports scientists found out that he seems to be on his peek already. So maybe learning to cycle before walking has some disadvantages - but we will definetely figure that out.

Rajesh Kakhi

Young Indian Rajesh Kakhi is 23 years old as well, but he took a totally different development as a young rider. Stealing his very first bike about ten years ago and trying to realise his dream of being a professional cyclist despite all difficulties, he in the end won a talent contest on the track and joined a sports academy. There we found him and were instantly convinced that he would be the right man for us. But you should better read his awesome blog yourself.

Rajesh's major strength lies in short, steep hills as they occured near his home town Bangalore. Although climbing long mountains with a stedy rhythm somehow makes him feel very uncomfortable, he is one of the most punchy riders in the peloton. Furthermore, he has a certain strength in sprinting. So it's not just hilly stage races and classics, where he will lead the team, but also sprint stages. He is by far the biggest hope for the future that Champion System Cycling Team can focus on.

In the subject of sprinting we are proud to present a whole set of strong men. All of those guys have their own strengths and weaknesses, but because the differences between them in terms of sprinting abilities are so little, we decided not to set up any kind of ranking. It should be mentioned, that we are aware of the point that other teams are far more concentrating on sprint races. That is why for us not only wins count, but we are also happy for every podium and Top10 finish as well.

Bobbie Traksel

31-year old Bobbie Traksel is well-known for several years now. In 2000 he started his career by riding for Rabobank until 2004. Through different teams he came to Vacansoleil in 2009 then, racing there for two years. After another two years in the Landbouwkrediet team he now has joined our team.
In the past, Bobbie has shown that especially (cobbled) races in Belgium and Netherlands are his thing as his biggest achievements were winning stages in Ster Elektrotoer and Sachsen-Tour as well as the former one-day classic race Veenendaal-Veenendaal in 2002. Six years later he smashed those by surprisingly winning the Driedaagse Van West-Vlaanderen and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne later on in 2010.
In our team he will be leading in classics especially, because he is by far the most experienced sprinter and cobbled classics specialist. We do also look forward to sending him to some stage races - alongside with another sprinter to share the captain's role.

Matthew Brammeier

One of those is 27-year old Matt Brammeier. His first team was DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed in 2006 after he had already shown his talent by winning the Junior's Road Race British Championships in 2003. Achieving gold in the U23 Time Trial British Championships was his next step towards being a top cyclist. In past he has already been riding for World Tour Teams, such as HTC-Highroad and Omega Pharma-Quickstep. Although he was not able to show what a superb bike rider he is through major results, since 2010 he always has been the National Champion of Ireland.
Due to his fast legs, Matt is going to be racing mostly stage races, where he surely can get us some nice results. Unfortunately, he badly hates climbing, but which sprinter doesn't?

Fabian Schnaidt

The third strong sprinter in our squad is still a huge talent, that needs to be formed properly. 22-year old Fabian Schnaidt started his career in 2010 as a member of little German team Bergstraße. After winning U23 Road Race German Championship, he managed to get into his former team Specialized Concept Store. Last season he won stages in several races, thus showing that he is able to convert his pure strength in results as well. He took first places in La Tropicale Amissa Bongo, Oberösterreichrundfahrt and Tour of Qinghai Lake.
Because of Fabian being one of the youngest riders in our team, we are sure that he will develop further in future. Until then he will race sprint stages, usually as a co-captain with Matt or Bobbie. We do believe that, as time goes by, he will get our team leader in sprints for certain.

An overview of all our riders and their stats for Part 2:

After an exceptional period of training and due to impressively hard work, Rajesh Kakhi and Fabian Schnaidt really increased their abilities. Muhamad Othman also made a considerable step forward.
