With another season officially wrapped up, it's time for the service teams to prepare for the upcoming competitions. This preparation involves negotiating a range of contracts, from short-term agreements to long-term commitments. After a season devoid of major championship events, we are now gearing up for two significant seasons ahead, featuring the World Championships in Trondheim and the Olympic Games in Italy.

Jules Chappaz Joins Madshus
In early May, Jules Chappaz took to Instagram to announce his departure from Salomon after eight seasons. He revealed, "After 8 seasons spent with @salomonnordic, I decided that it’s time for me to leave the blue ship." The French skier, who recently secured his first World Cup podium and earned his inaugural World Championship medal in Planica last season, has officially signed with Madshus for the upcoming years. He will be joined by teammates Melisa Gal (FRA) and Lorenzo Romano (ITA), who are also making the switch to Madshus.

Edvin Anger Signs with Rossignol
Replacing Madshus is the talented Edvin Anger, a rising star from Sweden. At just 21, Anger has already notched up six World Cup podium finishes and was recognized as the top U23 World Cup athlete last season. He will be representing the French brand, Rossignol, in the upcoming races.

Even Northug Partners with Swix
Norwegian skier Even Northug, aged 28, is charting a new course by partnering with Swix for his ski poles, marking an exciting new phase in his career.

On a similar note, ATOMIC has welcomed a new recruit: Italian athlete Martina di Centa. Meanwhile, Team Fischer is thrilled to announce the addition of Richard Jouve, looking forward to supporting the 29-year-old on his professional skiing journey.
