Still wondering about Katy Winton... I haven't even seen a rumour pop up about here, so their either playing it cool or things are weird for her. She's one of my fav riders in the EWS in general since she's clearly having so much fun out there and can't absolutely shred.

But she does, sadly, have performance issue because of the consequences of a concussion if I'm not mistaken. :/

I hope she takes care of herself and maybe even takes it a bit easier, I wouldn't wish for her to go through the same thing Lorraine Truong went, who sadly, in her mid 20s, through traumatic brain injury, lost her racing career and an engineering job with BMC. Sad

TBIs are nasty.

100% seems to be having alot of concussions while rider are wearing there helmets , Reese Wilson, Katy Winton, Mikayla Parton... just to name a few in the last months........I understand they are percentage wise more likley because half of the riders wear a 100% helmet but its still something to think about. I know they are one of the only companies NOT running a dual density eps foam, I wonder if thats part of it. But it may just be the amount of people riding them. eh food for thought I guess

+1000 on this one.

I thought she was in a solid place last season with a few top 5s(?). Trek deserves credit for supporting her during the last big concussion, but it feels like factory teams as a whole are too quick to move on from riders that were injured while representing said team.

I really hope we get some good news about her soon.

The chin strap on the 100% aircraft comes back really close to the throat rather than sit under the jaw/chin which could also cause a high chance of whiplash in a head impact or fall. On the other hand sometimes a helmet can’t help in a crash and you’re getting your brain rattled regardless. If I remember right Reece’s crash was an insane high speed direct head-to-tree impact after going over a berm in Maribor and the helmet probably saved him from significantly worse injury

Damn good eye right there.

What’s interesting is that the Kona EWS team bikes all ran Diety parts, including seat collars.

Dharco pants are nice and comfortable, even during cold days.

The interesting bit is shandros. Is Andrew still managing tfr or are they moving in a French or euro direction like several of the big teams have.

From that other site...

"Rounding out the team crew is team physio Phillip Bacher, athlete performance manager Andrew Shandro, and Managing Director John Dawson."

Yeah I’m wondering if Andrew is managing tfr and trek/rockshox or if tfr is moving in a new direction. Two teams with that much talent sounds pretty insane amount of work. Maybe loris is bringing on his own people.

Ethan is on the sidelines because of a concussion (another one for the 100 % concussion lineup?) and Andrew is still managing it.

But that's TFR, this is not TFR, this is Sram's, supported by Trek team (TLD clothing...).

Bottom part of the search results was - lower down the page I screenshotted had Phil's anouncement with that line - Remy's announcement is still blank other than the picture.
