The Canyon CLLCTV DH Team welcomes French fastman Thibaut Daprela

The Canyon CLLCTV is starting 2024 with a bang, welcoming one of the fastest riders in the men’s DH field to the team: Thibaut Daprela.

At just 22 years old, Thibaut has already racked up an impressive list of wins. From multiple Elite World Cup victories to clinching the overall title twice as a junior, Daprela’s mind-blowing pace and aggressive riding style have delivered incredible results.

“I’m very proud to be part of the Canyon CLLCTV. It’s a big family with multiple champions and results. The energy and technology that Canyon brings into the race world are amazing, and it’s the spirit I’m looking for. I am stoked to start the season with my CLLCTV Factory DH team mates. Also, it’s a great opportunity to be working with Gabe Fox and Fabien Barel, who have huge experience on the World Cup scene. I’m excited for this new chapter and already feeling at home on the bike. Let the fun begin,” said Thibaut Daprela.

Canyon’s passion for gravity racing has been fuelling the brand’s MTB product and innovation for over a decade. Working with the fastest riders on the planet enables Canyon to continue pushing the limits and driving future developments.

“It is a great opportunity for our factory team to welcome Thibaut with his young age next to experienced riders like Troy and Luca. I have been following Thibaut’s progression for many years, and his passion to win and determination are unmatched. I believe we have an incredibly strong team for 2024, and I deeply look forward to the coming season,” said Fabien Barel, Canyon CLLCTV Team Mentor.

Daprela and his Canyon CLLCTV DH team mates will be supported by handpicked partners in their search for wins and podiums around the globe. SRAM, RockShox, Troy Lee Designs, DT Swiss, Maxxis, Crankbrothers, Ergon, Maurten, Dynamic Bike Care, E-13, Chris King, and Albek will support the team in 2024.

There are 16 weeks to wait until the 2024 season kicks off. Follow all the action from the team at Canyon CLLCTV Instagram and follow Thibaut at Thibaut Daprela Instagram.
