Yoann Barelli to Kona. Follows no other bike brands other than Kona and also follows their communications manager.

With Rhys Verner off the Kona Gravity (shitty for Kona) it opens up a spot for another sponsored rider.
Not Kona.

Local company or locally built? I can think of one company that is building things in the same province.

Not Kona.
Maybe he'll be on WeAreOnes frame and wheels since they manufacture in house. Yoann definitely seems like he would be all over having domestically produced gear since it's environmentally friendlier since it isn't getting shipped across the globe. Could also maybe be forbidden frame?

He's also posting reactions to his post in his stories, trolling seems likely :D

Suspension bike that’s gonna be big the Carbon shit is great but I can’t wait to see what Chromag brings out

Someone somewhere said Aggy is retiring, which would bum me out because he is my mountain bike spirit animal.

Yea that looks like the new Jekyll for sure.
Word on the Boulevard was that he was Young Talent.
But with the New Marketing MGR for C-Dale a Utah Local that may have changed.

I wonder if he’s referring to the Foon skis he is taking a picture of on his feet? They are a BC ski maker.
