Professionalism, competitive experience and a passion for cycling

Ralph Denk
Team Manager Team NetApp

Professionalism, personal racing experience and many years of know-how as a team leader: In the late 90s, Ralph Denk founded the mountain bike team Ralph-Denk-Racing-Team, out of which the Giant-Racing-Team would later evolve. With this team, he held the no. 1 position in worldwide team rankings for a total of 23 months (2005/2006), won the overall world cup and took second and third places at the world championships.

Since 2007, Ralph Denk has played a major role in road racing with his own U-19 team of young talents, Team Auto Eder Bayern (formerly known as the Quest-Ralph-Denk-Team), which has also made some substantial achievements. These include winning the sprint classification at the Istria Tour, the mountain classification and a stage victory at the Tour du Pays du Vaud as well as podium spots at the German Championships and in the overall standings of the Bundesliga national league.
