Faction Collective Team Rider Yvan Metrailler continued his strong finishes in the first edition of the Swiss-R project on the Glacier 3000 in Les Diablerets, Switzerland.

Last year Yvan won the largest and final stage of the Swiss-R in one of his local stomping grounds of Crans-Montana. Winter is in full swing and the kickers are getting bigger so The Faction Collective looks forward to seeing Yvan on more podiums during the three remaining stages spread over the whole winter.
