stoneman founder roland stauder

the south tyrolean roland stauder has won mountain bike races all over the world. as the overall world cup winner, he has said goodbye to the professional sport. away from the competition, he invented and realized the stoneman. first in his native south tyrol with the stoneman dolomiti, followed by the stoneman miriquidi in the ore mountains and the stoneman glaciara in valais. the stoneman taurista was created exclusively in austria. by 2025, the stoneman is to "roll" throughout europe.
