More or less confirmed. The bike is too big for her (the seat lowered is higher than her crotch standing by the bike, it should be at about that height lifted up) and she rides a Scott.

Damn. I was kinda hoping he put a hand on somebody else's bike just to troll team rumors.

Me too just because it's funny that the riders and teams get to have mess with us.

He's messing with us so hard.

Probably in retaliation for all of our doping jokes.

Haven't they been using OneUp guides for a few years?? Maybe they get a choice of which components are available from the sponsors.

Richie re-posted these 2 stories on his IG.
First pic, 3 specialized Enduro bikes and 3 yeti bikes.


Second pic/vid, 6 names tagged:
Sedlak327, rides specialized
paulserra2204, rides the Enduro with dvo fork
Richie, rides yeti
Jakobsnow1, rides yeti


2 names left, perform_training and kellymtb, so does that mean Codi Kelley is on specialized or Yeti? can't find out what bike Todd rides...

New Sender at the Collective?

I think it could be a new frame, too. That kink/hunch in the opper side of the top tube behind the stem is new in my opinion. The current Sender's top tube seems to go straight down.

Also note that fork bumper and cable port are in two different locations whereas the bumper covers the cable port on the current Sender frame.

Also it looks like the linkage is different too!

How do you see the linkage from that picture? 😜

But yeah, different position of the fork bumper on the current one and no kink in the top tube, it goes straight down from the headset, perpendicularly to the steerer.

I wouldn't dare comment on the mulletness from this picture though...

Todd rides an Intense usually (TM for Intense Factory Racing). My money has been on Cody heading back to Specialized (he used to ride them pre-current status if I remember correctly? Keener spoke highly about him years ago too, so it could be a great fit).

regarding the mulletness: the sill of the window in the background is level and the front tire is clearly taller, so they're either messing with us (entirely likely) or it's probably a mullet.

Canyon is a sophisticated enough brand that these pics are almost certainly vetted by multiple folks before they go out. It doesn't mean they don't mess up tho...

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don’t get whole “Jared Graves watch 2020.” The dude is legit fast and talented, but I find myself unable to root for him and Richie due to the lack of an explanation for their failed tests. While Maes’ situation was likely different, I thought he handled the situation admirably.
