Felipe Orts will leave Burgos-BH at the end of 2023 to start his own project with focus on CX, MTB and Gravel

Felipe Orts has announced his departure from Burgos-BH. The Spanish cyclo-cross champion will close the door behind him with the ProTeam after December 31 and will continue on his own from January 1, 2024. Orts has set up its own team to combine cyclo-cross, mountain biking and gravel.

The Orts off-road team will be called FORTS Team. He will announce at a later date which sponsors and employees will join his individual project. From the new year we will see Orts in a new outfit, where he makes the Spanish Cyclo-Cross Championship, the World Cup in Benidorm and the Cyclo-Cross World Championship his biggest goals.

For the time being, Orts is still in the purple of Burgos-BH at the start of the cyclo-cross races. "First of all, I would like to thank Burgos-BH and express my appreciation for the last three years," says the 28-year-old Spaniard. "The team has been very important to my career, and until the end of the year I will continue to defend the colors with all pride and respect."

"But I know the time has come to start a new project and develop myself in specialties like mountain biking and gravel, which are outside the focus of a road team," said Orts.
