I have heard that daprela signed one of the biggest contract ever in dh racing with commençal as they feel he is the next big thing in the sport.
So no move for him this year I think.

That could be true bra and that Commencal bike is a proven winner so ... any idea if it was a long term contract ?

I hope were are not expecting too much from the kid, but he was flying under the radar in the last years. Not from the lads living and riding around Nice I know, but for the vast majority of us he was a nobody until now. I guess Finn Iles received most of the attention and now we are discovering another crazy fast junior.

The few facebook videos I've seen from Daprela riding around Peilles were mind blowing. I mean he was only 13-15yo doing lines many pros can't even dream of. And you could see the Master -Vouilloz- in his surgical precision. I always liked riders with an effortless style, Sam was always a favorite to watch but that Vouilloz guy back in the day when he was on it was from another planet!

Erm, this year we decided to document the Worlds in English. I don't know if posting the link here is a problem, but you should find some nice pictures inside and we are not competitors of VitalMTB, but rather fans and our site is local and small. If I offended anyone by posting here, I apologize in advance!

They have the money, but what about DVO ? Gwin is going to be Fox for life! Giant are due a new bike as the new glory isn't new at all been the same for almost 3 years.

Gwin to a bike that looks like a session, is the MOB property of YT?

So for example if he left the YT and the mob and went to GT. Would it be Gwin, Martin and a new rider? Or would Angel and crew move too?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Martin is the Team owner and he approached YT to be the frame supplier. I see it similar to the MS team, how it was MS - intense, MS- Evil, MS - Mondraker etc.

Didn’t we all think Gwin would be TLD for life at one point too?

the trek mob is the only constellation that would make sense to me if the gwin on trek rumours are true.

Makes me wonder if there will be any riders from Atherton Racing who will stay with Trek.

Some of you probably remember that Maes chose to remain with GT when the Athertons moved several years ago.

The way the Atherton’s run their team though, did Maes choose to stay with GT, or was he left there by the Athertons?

one of the "keys" is the link (or bond) between Maes and Mark Maurissen

I remember that the contract was signed for 3 years with one more year if both parts agree.

I once saw Kade Edwards liked a weed related post on the gram. Could he be on his way to Snoop doggs new WC team? Snoop D Smoked Racing. In which case they will be riding the new Huffy Puffy. Half carbon, half weed
