I think Gwin will be on GT...perhaps. Bryceland will be on Evil, Minnar will be on Trek, Stevie Smith will be looking for something faster so maybe lapierre? Rennie is obviously on Intense, Cedriq & peaty will stay on Santa Cruz but I can't say about anybody else really!
I do think the V10 suited Minnar but who knows, the Session is a fast bike. It would have been interesting to see him go to Specialized/Monster energy I think. I wonder who yeti will replace Gwin with?
Minnar is ridiculously fast on W/E he puts his leg over so I doubt it matters but 2012 season will be incredible to watch!
2012? We first have to start the 2011 season...

EDIT: and it was said that CRC are ending the Intense deal. So what, Nukeproof bikes for the people left in the team (if Matti and CK really do leave)?

Intense are you setting up a factory team then? Smile

Did I hear that UCI will move from 4X to Dual Slalom next year? Man I hope so.

Might that mean that a lot of DH guys will go back to racing Dual and become two event ponies?

And might that mean that certain riders become more valuable to certain teams?

Hmmmmmmm!

why didn't he pass to Bloomberg, hes alooone on the left!" why isn't goalkeeper coming out to him, what an idiot! They should not buy this prick from Barca nooo!

I can already see the DH version of that: three experts on a couch with a beer trying to sound knowledgeable to each other: why did he took the line to the right?! Hill just cleared these roots after jumping off the log to the right! noooo! shut up Andy he couldn't do with Fox 40, only guys with Boxxers can hit that!
man, its fun, to guess....

if you dont like it, dont read it....

Surprised there are no Gwin or Minnar threads. Heard he was doing Trek for a three year million dolla deal. And what about Gwin? GT perhaps?

Specialized did that with hill. In two years, they got a world cup overall and a world champ.

"He also scotched rumours that his team-mate, and former world champ, Greg Minnaar would be switching to another team this year, saying that the South African has also committed to another three years with Santa Cruz."

That's from last year. He could have bought out the contract, though.

It appears it's still the same team (Monster and the personell), they just switched the bike manufacturer from IH to SPec.

with minnaar and whitely doing a deal in bringing in those helemts minnaar uses...... AND being signed to 23 degrees it could be already nearly under way. no matter what way you look at it Minnaar will kill it on what ever he rides

Pretty sure Greg signed at least a two year deal with SC this year. So that would mean no changes until at least 2012. Since when does Dh pay that high anyway?! Just sayn'!

It has been confirmed that Minnaar will again be on Santa Cruz.

Gwin is moving to Temecula . . . wonder what that means?!?

Gwin moving to Temecula means he will be riding a Trek with Leov, Mosely, Neco and Willow.

Neither Goldman, Bryceland, Minnar nor Peat live in Santa Cruz or California. Just the same as Hill and Bronson dont live near Morgan Hill. (although you may be on to something there, i just noticed Hill > Morgan Hill.
