i‘m guessing todd shumlick of performX could be their new teammanager. he was the manager of the norco team the prior years and is also the personal trainer of gwin and other pros. additionally i sawe him comment and like the last couple of intense factory racing posts.
Keen observation. I'm leaning towards Todd Shumlick managing this team as well.

Here's a fact for you.

Naming sources isn't a good way of keeping sources.

I'm totally with you on that. But that sounded more like ”it is true because I say so”. Usually, when people have sources, don't necessarily mention them in detail, but give some sign of their existence. This being a rumour-mill, though, I guess it's also pretty likely that knowledgeable people just throw things around in order to find out how the public reacts.

By the time I caught up on all the posts before it, the post above mine was 3 minutes old, and I still refreshed the page to see if anything new had leaked, this obsession is verging on a disease!

At this point I don't even care where riders end up, I just want to see who in this thread actually knew what they were talking about.

Is there a prize for the most correct answer?

Well known "secret" but confirmed that Kate Courtney heading to Scott-SRAM factory team. Not sure if any of you care about XC but still has to do with new team moves.

My favorite XC racer, Jenny Rissveds, has an interesting post(s) from a couple of days ago:

https://www.instagram.com/jennyrissveds/?hl=en

I think one of the best untold recent sports stories is what happened to Rissveds following her stellar 2016 season.

If she returns to international racing in 2019, then women's XC will be the most exciting cycling discipline to watch, hands down.

Lars Forster joined the Scott-Sram team also.

Not much untold. She had a very bad treatment from the Swedish Cycle Federation, lost both grandfathers in a short period and was knocked out by a heavy depression. She was also quite fed up from focusing all her time to training, not allowing herself to focus on fun stuff unless her performance would gain from it. She just started training purposefully 10 weeks prior to last years National champs which she aced. By the looks of it she will return, but I will not have any hope that she will come back on top just yet.

Her biggest win is coming out from what seemed like major depression. If she competes, it’s a bonus.

Agreed. She also showed courage going public about an eating disorder - something that affects male and female cyclists more than is talked about.

It almost seems criminal putting Zee spec cranks on that.

Those are TRP's. You can tell by the lever. Both TRP and Enve are both in Ogden Utah. I don't see Enve dumping that kind of money into Gwin. But Gwin is still riding for TRP.
