The VIF ELEVEN HEAD CYKLOLIVE team is entering its 15th cycling season this year. The team includes more than 120 riders – from elite cyclists to children and hobby enthusiasts. The year 2025 not only brings new goals but also a significant change in visual identity. The team now presents itself in yellow-blue-black colors, chosen by the riders themselves.
This season, the team riders will again rely on our proven Rubena Scylla and Rascal tyres, which will accompany them through challenging races. In addition to us, other partners supporting the team include Penco, Abus, Cyklostar, Aerotec, ČEPS, Garmin, 4F, and the Liberec Region.
This year, the team has been strengthened by Tomáš Kučera and Markéta Kubínová, and strong riders such as Kája Nováková, Jiří Šorm, and Lukáš Bělka remain. The focus this year will be on MTB marathons – Prima CUP and Kolo pro život, with the goal being the Czech Championship Silesia Bike Marathon in Opava. There, the team aims to win medals in several categories, building on Karolína Nováková’s silver medal from last season. We must also not forget the team's participation in renowned races such as the Malevil Cup, Gočár’s Steps, and others. This year, the team also plans to enter the Czech Cross Country Cup.
The team also includes a large children's cycling section. They engage not only in mountain biking but also in general sports during the off-season – cross-country skiing, athletics, climbing, and swimming. As part of the Children's MTB Cup of the Liberec Region, the kids won team first place in 2023 and 2024. For older youth, the Czech XCO Cup is prepared.
VIF ELEVEN HEAD CYKLOLIVE is also the organizer of several sports events. In June, the OZP 50 Podralsko bike marathon will take place, which, thanks to cooperation with the Czech Cycling Federation and Petr Svoboda, has grown to include the Czech Gravel Cup. In September, the team organizes the XC Ruprechtice on home ground in Liberec, and in August, a cycling camp is planned at Singltrek.
