On the latest Pinkbike Podcast (Episode 37, @ 74min) Ben Cathro talks about his plans for next season. He plans to setup a small Privateer Team with 3 Riders, including himself as team manager and rider. This would be awesome, please make it happen!

Good combo! When your sponsor has only one descent front tire it must be refreshing trying something else Wink

It wouldn’t shock me to see him on the Syndicate with his pal Luca.
Agreed! Dakotah is such a humble guy I would love to see him smash it in a friendly team environment with Luca Shaw. Although it seems Angel Suarez will take that spot I really hope they can make room for one more team mate! Dak deserves a ride!

I don’t know. Maybe they just realized they don’t need those big names anymore to sell bikes. It seems they’ve placed the brand where they wanted it to be. After all their bikes are constantly sold out anyways. So what’s the point in more promotion when you can’t fulfill more orders.

I hope they’ll put much of that saved money into customer service. At least that’s what Flossmann hinted at in an interviewer earlier this year.
They definitely made it a point to sign a TON of well known riders a couple years ago to establish the brand more and give it a cool image. What you're saying is probably all it is.

That being said, I do understand it's all business but part of me also feels that it isn't going to make them look very good to other riders because it could be seen as them seeming to "use" who they sponsor and then chuck them.

Till will tell, but if you try to say anything of that sort on the other site people don't like it very much lol

Simon Andreassen to Cannondale confirmed! Saw him riding locally on a Specialized but in Cannondale kit 2 days ago.


If you google his name + Cannondale you stumble across this match with release date 1.1.2021:

01.01.2021 — Simon Andreassen skifter hold: Det er ønskeholdet Feltet.dk er ... første gang i sin seniorkarriere skifter han Specialized ud med Cannondale.

Following the link does not yield in anything: https://m.feltet.dk/nyheder/simon_andreassen_skifter_hold_det_er_oenske…

Angel Suarez just posted a video on Instagram of him riding something new. I’m not technologically advanced enough to grab a frame from the video to see what it is.

On the video he appears to be riding his YT somehow. Either old clip or trolling or who knows.

Yeah but thanks for the support and not listing SC makes me think something in the works...

Is he actually sponsored by SC or just rides their stuff? Since he's sponsored by Sram he could more or less ride anything...
