sspomer, what's the penalty for breaking an embargo? This isn't the first time they've done it but they seem to think it's worth it

It's was on pinkbike but was under the commencal user account so it was commencal who screwed up by not making it private. So I would assume the liability lies with commencal.

Translated from the French post:
"Let us put an end to the suspense, if there were any more. This is a major turning point in his career. Loris Vergier joined the prestigious Team Syndicate, led by triple world champion Greg Minnaar. This is the first time that a Frenchman joins the structure. Vergier, who has lived for many years in the shadow of his buddy and teammate Loic Bruni (world champion in 2015), has signed for two years with the Syndicate. Like many paddock drivers, he had always dreamed of it, but he also had other motivations ... Luca Shaw also joined the Syndicate. The two young drivers now have the heavy task of ensuring the future of a team that sees definitely leave the legend Steve Peat as well as Josh Bryceland."

Or maybe just racing some DH aboard a yeti. The yt thing seems a little like a setup. I think the real news in that comment from Gwin was that the Mob is getting bigger even without the addition of Richie.

"The pilote leave his old friend loic to live new adventures and a major turn in his career.
Some time ago, Loris said he was leaving specialized gravity. It was time for him to take a new step and give a new "boost" to his career (ok, sometimes my english is a bit light). This is done and the young pilote is living a major turn in hi career.

We spent a day with loris, end of november, 3 days before he flew to USA to start his new life. Read his exclusive itw in the next issue of vélo vert N°295, available 30th december"

You're welcome Team Rumour :-)

Looks that way, so that would make it Troy, Ruaridh, and who else?

I'll bite on that. Interesting theory since we don't know where he's going to land yet.

I would guess the one on the right in that pic could be mark wallace. I couldn't see metailler being added to a factory team.
