Greg Williamson to Commencal/100%! Announcement below:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The COMMENCAL / 100% is ready to kick off the new year with a fresh face - we're excited to announce that Greg Williamson has been added to the 2020 roster! Williamson had a fantastic 2019 season with consistent Top 20 results and was finally able to crack the Top 10 in the final round at Snowshoe with a 7th place. He will be a great addition of experience to the team, joining Hugo Frixtalon and Thomas Estaque. We wish him all the best for this coming season and are excited for what this team can achieve this year.

Greg Williamson : "I’m very excited to join the Commencal / 100% team in 2020! The team is stacked with a great bunch of people who know how to race fast and also have a good time in the process. I’m currently out in New Zealand putting lots of time in on the new bike, which has been amazing so far."

Hugo Frixtalon : "So keen to start another year with the COMMENCAL / 100% team! Some new goals, new project, new team mate. I'm working to be more consistent on my physical skills this winter and I hope this will pay off step by step."

Thomas Estaque : "I feel my team is growing each year and I’m excited to evolve with this crew around me. I consider the arrival of Greg as an opportunity due to his bigger experience. My off-season is going pretty well, I’m in a good pace between my goals and my physical preparation. Can’t wait to hit the race tracks, ready to shred, to fight and to send it!"

Pich Georges / Team Owner : "I feel this trio can shine on any Sunday with consistency and an amazing style. Greg and Thomas are used to World Cups Top 10 for the last 4 years while Hugo’s progression never stops to grow. We’re also pleased to add Fizik (saddles) and RaceFace (cockpits) as new sponsors."

That pic could be from a couple years ago during a training trip to SoCal or a visit to 100%. That's Canyon's Carlsbad, CA office and the bike you can make out looks like its just on display in the lobby.

The Slash is the only FS bike in the left in the Trek line that hasn't seen an update... Considering that the latest Fuel got pushed a bit closer to the Slash, I'm interested in what happens with this new version...

They are French speakers...

le lubrifiant is french for lubricant...

when writing in a second language, its not far off to get to "lubrificants"

lubrificants lubrificate your chain and stuff... like to make it become lubrified...

Here is the full announcement from Polygon UR regarding Joe Breeden:
----------------------------------------------------
We are stoked to announce young blood to the Polygon UR team with the venue of Joe Breeden! When you have such a talent looking for a team, we felt that we had to give him a ride!



Joe is a 20 year old rider from the UK and before riding World Cups, he was playing football at a high level. He fell in love with bikes after a friend took him to Revolution Bike Park. In 2017, he got a silver medal at the junior world championships in Cairns. His first year elite was a bit of a blur after a severe injury and last year was his first real full season. Joe did a couple top 25 at world cups and you might remember that with a little help from the weather, he qualified 1st at Val di Sole. Joe’s future is bright and we are excited to work with him!



Joe will race all DH World Cups and he will also do a selection of enduro races.

“I am beyond stoked to be joining the Polygon UR team, they seem like a great group of people and brands. It is by far the biggest team I have ever been on and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together!” - Joe Breeden

The proto Supreme Vallnord were racing on last year is now official;

"The benefits are numerous.
The stiffness has been increased to gain precision and avoid any loss of energy.
With a new idler pulley position, the pedalling efficiency has been improved.
The new kinematics combined with a new main pivot point allows the bike to be more nimble, and allows the rider to reduce the SAG without losing any comfort."

This kinda makes sense, would buy a 29er Remedy that is essentially the old Slash
