Frischi Tells His Amazing Olympic Road Race Story

We all know that legendary Thomas Frischknecht won the silver medal in the inaugural cross-country mountain bike event at the 1996 Olympic Games. But not many people know that he piloted his Ritchey Swiss Cross in the Olympic road race the very next day after someone from the Swiss team withdrew at the last minute.

We're thrilled he was willing to help celebrate Ritchey's 50th anniversary by sharing this story with us in his own words!
