Nah, the way I read that is CRC PayPal is no longer going to run a UCI WC DH team and focus on the EWS with Sam and perhaps a second rider.

Mike jone is Sam Hill's protegee nowadays. My guess is he is staying alongside ¿Troy Brosnan? On the DH circuit only to allow Sam Hill focusing on Enduro.

Not sure CRC can afford TB with Wiggle buying them out an all the redundancies been made it would be surprising if crc have a team in 2018. Nukeproof may seek other sponsors though to keep the team going?

Wiggle turnover was £180mil and they made they profit of £13.4mil according to some sites, they bought CRC as they were the next biggest online bike store so why not buy your competition and make more money I'm pretty sure wiggle/crc could afford any rider in the world if they wanted

Troy aint going to chain reaction unless they have a new better dh bike than the one they currently have

It gave Sam Hill a boost a few years ago, why can't it do the same for Troy?

Makes sense Brosnan is leaving Specialized, he probably got sick of wearing those garish costumes they keep pushing.

You're looking too deep. Maybe try the riders sleeve in the background, theres one answer.

Leaving for Norco? Does anybody have an idea where else he could be going?
Makes sense that he is leaving if canyon is trying to get the money for a DH team together.. (Brosnan???)

Carina Cappellari off Radon and on Ns bikes.

That bike must be quick as hell, looks like a Sunday, if Manon's on one of those she'll have no excuses.

Hmm shimano and Giro sounds a bit like Yeti... but it could be anything.
He's following BMC too.

Oh yeah! Because looks make a bike quick! I say it looks like a Trek, so she's in Rach time territory! Wink

Seems like a good fit...

I'm probably looking to Deep into this as Troy has probably shifted through a lot of old memories looking back at 7 years with Specialized... but he is tagging Sam Hill a hell of a lot recently, I can't see Troy going to enduro I think he made it pretty clear that isn't his game and I can't see chain reaction having a DH squad for 2017.... I'm probably reading into it too much.

They're both Australian. People can have friends and riding buddies across factory teams, you know.
