I'm sure there is some global marketing strategy I am not privy to, but I am taking CK over Buchanan all day. It would be sick to see Mitch R and Cody team up to bring some 50:1 style shenanigans to the USofA

And they may have picked that way.

I read that as a thank you for the past two years, nothing more. Says nothing about the future and does not say that he is off Yeti in any way - even though it does sort of read that way.

Would be ridiculously stoked on this, both riders have so much potential in multiple disciplines (EWS, Dual Slalom, DH, etc). They would complement each other's riding styles and make solid teammates, definitely crossing the fingers for that to happen!

How about Lewis Buchanan riding for Yeti?

Where does Cody Kelley end up in 2018?

#EWSRumors




Richie commented on a IG post by Lew Buchanan "Ace work bud" and Lew replied "See you soon"

Seems very likely that Lew Buchanan could be replacing Cody Kelley on Yeti Fox Factory EWS team?

Could it be possible that Yeti picks up a third athlete for their international factory team? Bring up a national team rider? Maybe someone new?

Does that mean he's back with the Athertons or is it just a send-out-to-everyone-we-know card?

"Powerhouse of riders to tie in with an old success story" from the Mondraker statement sure sounds like Bulldog comin' back.

"Constriction of funding."? Isn't it all just gonna trickle down? Biggest year ever?
