Meet the 2021 Trek Factory Racing downhill squad

Loris Vergier joins the Trek family

Trek Factory Racing’s downhill squad made the most of 2020’s twists and turns. In a thoroughly unpredictable year, they overcame injuries and quite literally shocked the world, proving that there’s no limit to their potential. With a new addition to the team for 2021, they may soar to new heights.

World Champion Reece Wilson, Charlie Harrison and Kade Edwards all return. They will be joined by 24-year-old Loris Vergier from France, who is coming off a breakout year as a pro. He is “as excited as a child” to be joining Trek. 

“I got the opportunity to jump on a project with a brand that I always looked up to and that fit what I desired and needed as a racer and took it!” Vergier said. “I’m 24, slowly starting to reach the goals I’ve set myself, and I found the team, the brand I trust to achieve them!”

Welcome to the family, Loris!

Loris says he's "as excited as a child" to be joining Trek.

Vergier stood atop the podium four times in 2020 despite a truncated schedule, winning two World Cup and two French Cup races. He would finish as UCI’s No. 2 overall elite men’s downhill rider. Vergier also had a solid run at the World Championship in Leogang, finishing 10th at just over 10 seconds behind Wilson.

He should fit right in with one of the most talented, energetic and  youthful squads on the circuit. Kade Edwards, not yet 21, competed in four World Cup events this year, with a top result of 18th in Lousã. Charlie Harrison, 23, took three podiums in an injury-marred season: wins at Downhill Southeast and in the Northwest Cup, and a bronze at Crankworx in Innsbruck. Reece Wilson, no longer the oldest member of the team at a grizzled 24 (Vergier has him beat by 35 days), won a World Championship in Leogang.

No small detail, that.

Reece Wilson, just 24, is no longer the oldest member of the team.

It's Chuck!

Kade! Coming in hot!

At an average age of just over 23, Trek’s downhill riders still haven’t hit their ceiling.

“So stoked to be riding for Trek again this year! Can’t wait to get back to it with the boys and have a ride with our new teammate,” Edwards said. “Good times to come!”

Harrison is particularly looking forward to 2021, after having to battle back from a wrist/hand injury before returning to competition and securing a podium at Crankworx in October .

“I’m extremely excited to extend and continue my relationship with Trek,” Harrison said. “I feel very honored to be involved with such a professional, fun and progressive program as TFR. After missing the 2020 season due to injury, I’m very much looking forward to having a healthy and consistent 2021 season, while battling for podium finishes!”

Bombs away.

WHAT A DUDE.

At least we know what Reece's kit will look like in 2021.

It’s hard to imagine how Wilson could top his rainbow-striped season, but he’s champing at the bit to try. He announced that he’d be re-signing with Trek in November, while unveiling his all-class World Champion-styled Session . 

“I’m thrilled to have re-signed with Trek,” Wilson said. “The team is a tight family who do a great job of making the riders feel special while providing a structure for great performance. I’m excited to build on the recipe this winter and see where I can go.”

Ready for anything.

It's going to be a wheelie fun year!

Captain Andrew Shandro.

Ethan Shandro, who was unable to race 2020, will step back from the team in 2021 as he recovers from concussion symptoms. Trek will continue to support Ethan as he works towards a return to full-time racing.

Trek’s downhill racing calendar is still coming together, but UCI has announced dates for the DH World Cup series, beginning April 24 in Maribor, and the Mountain Bike World Championships, taking place from Aug. 24-29 in Val di Sole. Downhill icon and longtime Trek ambassador Andrew Shandro will once again oversee the team.

“I’m fired up to have Loris joining the TFR program, I know he will fit in well with our crew,” Shandro said. “I’m proud of what we have accomplished the past few years of racing and look forward to seeing what we can do next season and beyond. Bring on 2021!”

Expect to hear more about the 2021 season after the competition schedule is finalized. For now, please welcome Loris to the Trek family!

Get to the van!

Look the part!

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
