Orange Seal Off-Road Team

The dynamic team that packs a strong punch

If you were at the Banyoles Super Cup last weekend, you might have seen Orange Seal’s set up in the pits or spotted their riders getting stuck into the scorching racing. TACTIC is proud to come on board as sponsors of this dynamic team.

The team is made up of a base of 4 riders, but there will be a few exciting guest appearances during the season. The American couple Savilia Blunk and Cole Paton will be spearheading the MTB program in combination with a select few gravel races. For the gravel races, the team will be relying on Dennis van Winden. The Dutch rider already rode for the team last year and will also be the head of performance for the European program. The last rider is Maddex Thiel, the young American who has already delivered some great results but will mainly be using his spot on the team to enjoy the experiences and steadily develop his career.

Two things about Orange Seal Off-road Team really stood out to us and reminded us of ourselves, that for a relatively small team, they are always right in the mix with the big teams. That despite the increasing move towards specialisms in the different cross country mountain bike disciplines, the riders of Orange Seal don’t want to just compete in one discipline.

The team has a focus on XCO and will compete in the UCI XCO races, but they are also drawn to races like the Volcat, a 2-day stage race on the Costa Brava (which Cole and Savilia won), Unbound gravel and The Belgian Waffle Ride.
