Buchanan makes it official

Shame as I thought the team trek had for enduro had a good vibe, hopefully he finds another great team.

Wonder what this means for the rest of the Trek enduro team?

He does appear to be riding a Nomad, so possibly has nothing in place, unless he's signed a SC deal?
Yeah I wasnt sure if it was because he is there for the WheelLove premiere and didnt have a bike for some reason, or has made the move or considering it?

I’m pretty sure, if you’re a Brit jibber, it’s the law that you ride a SC.

Charlie harrison riding with loic. Loic captioned his recent gopro footage with a quick trip for testing. Cant remember if harrison is the one leaving intense so this might be fake news.

Spesh more than likely riding Magura because Formula Brakes (different than OEM Wheel/Hub maker and Formula suspension) is set to go out of business at the end of this calendar year.

I dont want to say no on this one cause it would be cool to see him on syndicate but I think him and minaar are just good mates, ive seen them ride in morzine together and theyve made fun of each other in what seemed like inside jokes on vids like wynt tv.

That will be awesome! But a confirmation in a “like” is like thinking a girl is into you becouse she “liked” a picture of you.

What's more telling, is the fact that Elliot Jackson was at the Santa Cruz Christmas party... it was a gathering of pretty much everybody who rides for them. This was similar to last year when the syndicate team was announced. My guess is something similar to mitch ropelato, not a privateer, but also not on the synidcate.

Jackson's working at Santa Cruz as CRM Admin... he posted a deep and nerdy review of PB data on his blog http://www.eliotjackson.com/2017/11/21/pinkbike-exploration/ and Santa Cruz Customer Service rep kyle harder linked a vacancy http://santacruzbicycles.applytojob.com/apply/uLJoCtcptV/CRM-Administra…

Working for a bike company does not always mean ride a bike...

Really? It would be interesting if he were working for the company behind the scenes but riding another brands bikes publicly?

no but working for 2 is sure to be a conflict of interest and i'm pretty sure that would be written in a racers contract. assuming his giant contract was 2 years which i think it was.

Doubtful. Elliot Seems like a smart guy. Maybe he's using this, if he actually is working at SC, as a learning experience for life after racing. Or to just expand his skill set... Or, maybe he's broke from fronting the bill on a new album he produced. Guy has gotta eat...
