The tack welds look exactly the same on the bottom frame on both those pictures so I think you are right!

Could be saints but could be Formula. The lever shape looks like a Formula one.

I checked again and they could very well be saints.

Any news on Katy Winton? My hunch is she'll be on an S-works.

She'll be a podium threat, I believe, and Specialized hasn't had a high-profile rider since Graves and Keene. This is also the perfect time for the Big S to get a top rider to showcase what are currently rated as the top trail and enduro bikes around.

Didn’t know he was sponsored by Muc Off in the past. Also, are those Ride Concepts or Specialized shoes?

I agree their support for MTB, and many sports, is a bit conflicting.

But their athlete support seems very impressive. I always have the impression that their aim - in MTB at least - is to sponsor the best rider across a few disciplines in each country. So I wonder if there are a couple of other Spanish riders being eyed up for a special painted lid.

"once on redbull, always on redbull" is the mantra i remember. has anyone been boot'ed from the bull in the past? @Philip_Rossetti, care to elaborate on why he is poison?

I always thought that once you gained the Wings, you never lost them. Have any other riders been sponsored and lost Red Bull support?

Not Santa Cruz, the trails there are in the forest with loam and bigger treesLaughing

Kyle Strait was a bit one and he explained it in the vital podcast a month or two ago I think. There have been a few others I'm pretty sure but I can't think of who off the top.

Maybe he is following in the footsteps of fellow shredder Makken who (if I remember correctly) left Red Bull since he did not endorse the product he was forced to promote...

Anthony Messere is one I can think of who is still pretty young and lost his wings. Other guys I can think of are Nathan Rennie and Matti Lehikoen but they were both a little past their racing prime when they got taken off the team.

Kyle Strait, Bernardo Cruz, Paul Bas and Anthony Napolitan(bmx), just at the top of my head. I am sure there are plenty of others too.

As far as the whole red bull thing goes, Simon Andreasen posted today about re signing with red bull. I guess you’re brought on for a time specific contract then that contract can be extended to lifetime if the brand so chooses. Didn’t Travis Pastrana decide to leave Red Bull for a little while then go back after his Nitro Circus performance days were waning?
