German ski star is breaking new ground

More precisely: for a brand change. After more than twenty years with the same outfitter, Luitz is switching from the French outfitter Rossignol to Head brand skis. “And then I became a rebel!” This is how DSV star Stefan Luitz announced his brand change on social media. With Rossignol, the 29-year-old not only had his first experiences in professional sports, but also experienced his most successful phase to date. Luitz can boast nine podium finishes in 105 World Cup races, and in 2018 he also celebrated his only World Cup victory to date in Beaver Creek. However, this season was a forgettable one for the giant slalom specialist. The bronze medal in the team event at the World Championships in Cortina was the only bright spot for Luitz. Departure should ensure an upswing Now he wants to take a new and probably more successful direction by changing his outfitter. After all, at Head he is in an illustrious circle of top athletes who achieved 60 podium places over the course of the last season. His new brand colleagues include overall World Cup winner Alexis Pinturault, Lara Gut-Behrami, Vincent Kriechmayr and Beat Feuz. A special motivation for the ambitious racer from Bavaria, who can also look forward to his future away from the piste. Luitz is waiting with his girlfriend the first child together .
