Firtz Buchstaller
Fritz who is the boss of Radsport Buchstaller has been looking after Faris bikes for more than 8 years. He is an ambitious triathlete and biker himself and his mechanics are on the bike as well as at the bike more than average concerning performance and experience. You can discuss things like training, nutrition, bike position and material at the shop, which may prolong a stay for hours. But it does not necessarily mean that you have to be of the same opinion as Fritz.
Beside the bike of Faris almost all bikes of the big players of the national and international triathlon sport are worked on, tuned or build together in the shop in Hilpoltstein, which is close to the swim start of the Cahllenge Roth. Apart from his Frankish calmness and his superior competence Fritz’ character is marked by his ability to solve individual problems. It happens that a component is cut by hand, filed or shaped just to fulfill the customer’s wishes. We are happy that Fritz is going to support Team Abu Dhabi Triathlon also in the future. www.radsport-buchstaller.de

Peter Pöltl
Peter has been a friend and sponsor to Swen for many years. He supported the team in its search for partners from the very beginning. His assistance is outstanding and is not taken for granted because Peter runs his own business – an engineering office. But he is a fan of triathlon or perhaps more than that. We are happy to have him because he is always there if help is needed. www.poeltl.de
