Love how they are stepping up with team rumor, last year it was way too easy to guess most of them. Eliot on Zerode?

Team rumors stepping up the challenge a bit?

My best guess is is Cam Cole on Yeti. Can't think of what other company could be associated with both a hairy beast and a black bike. The kiwi horse is definitely Cam Cole.

Cam Cole's nickname is big horse, and he's from new zealand

Elliot Jackson is not a hairy beast (and it's not wearing slippers)

Also, Zerode is probably not yet in the position to have a high profile WC presence (If they did I'd expect to see a cartoon with them becoming a frame supplier to an existing team, not picking up individual rider). That and nothing in the cartoon really suggests anything related to a gearbox frame. my 2 cents.

I'm sticking with my Cole/Yeti guess

Is anyone thinking that it's an Evil Undead riding the supposed Cam Cole (not sold on this)?

Yeti doesn't really make any sense

Dirt have just dropped the news about Lapierre next year, and Cam Cole is missing from the list. (http://dirt.mpora.com/news/lapierre-announce-2013-world-cup-team.html) I don't see Yeti picking up a rider such as Cole, as they see them selves as a development team, and so choosing Cam wouldn't fit with what they have done in the past few years.

On anther note (with nothing to do with the drawing), my bet is we'll see Bernard Kerr on Scott for next year...

I can see the rational of adding Cole to the roster. Yeti has always had a development aspect to it, but until this past season have had a consistent podium contender in Jared Graves (first in DH and then in 4x), and later with Gwin. Richie and Elliot(?) are coming up for sure, but not quite consistent top 10 pace (yet). Cole would be a good choice to fill that void in the roster.

Guess thats not true since they just announced that Blenki is back on lapierre for the season. My guess is that the hat rider is gonna be bernard Kerr, they love their UK guys on that team lol
