That could just be a RedBull connection. Greg also gets to play at Foxhunt.

"Attention: Maybe today at 4 pm there will be an info bomb on MTB News regarding Robot Bike Co ... what do you think it is?"

Are the Athertons to Robot Bike Co. Rumors true??

Robot Bike Co does follow Rach and Gee on instagram, they don't follow too many other DH riders.

This could be! On the Insta-Profil "Ream-Tumors" you can find a sketch with the athertons and a robot! I thought it's because of the square head a link to cube...

But ROBOT-Bikes still making more sense!

Unless they have taken it on as an ongoing concern looks like RobotBike have gone pop anyway:

https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/have-robotbike-gone-pop/?amp=1

That said, having a look through their IG, they don't follow many people - but they are following someone who is rumoured to be financing the Atherton deal, whom would be a really odd person to follow, when the rest of your interest is bike related...

Lots of insta movement. Guessing 3pm announcement.

My bets on Robot just because it's so left field.
