Well, it is missing its head.

Looks more like a Turkey to me, and was drawn on American thanksgiving so maybe that's all there is too it... or it's some reference that's going over my head (no pun intended).

This guy was 38 at first round

And the Sam riding a Transition was #38 on the cover of Dirt..... Stik, I can't tell if you're hinting or being sarcastic since you didn't make a cool drawring.

Hill was #27 at Rd1 this year, and #38 in 2011, but people here are gullible and can't tell fish from chickens. Well played.

I really don't think Sam Hill is going to CRC, there is no WAY they are paying him enough money. The new nukeproof bike is pretty sick and I'm assuming that the team would go to SRAM if Sam joins but they already have like 5 guys splitting the budget. That would be a big downgrade for the #5 in the world....Sam Dale on the other hand is already a good old UK boy and would fit the team perfectly, just like Al bond did last seaon. They would dominate the local UK scene with Smith, Bond, Buchanan, and now Dale too

Agreed.
Also, when Nukeproof unveiled their new whip, the Pulse, many pointed out the obvious: it looks very much like the Transition TR450. That makes the cartoon even more insightful Wink well done Mr Artist. Well played.

You kidding? CRC is a multi million dollar/pound company. They could definitely afford to pay Sam Hill if they wanted.

Perhaps they are cutting their team and only having a few top riders!?

Who knows!


Madison Saracen are also a UK brand who are getting in a new rider. Rumour has it...

I doubt it's a junior woman, so probably not Tahnee Seagrave. I bet Todd would love to see Richie Rude on the team, but I assume he's currently claimed by Yeti....

Stumped. Who's a fast junior who isn't moving up in 2013. Thome? Bueller.... Bueller?

Is Loic Bruni still a junior next year??? I don't think GBR has many top level male juniors at the moment...

Well no, Youths are not permitted to race in the World Champs.

Don't you think someone like Taylor Vernon would be considered for the GT/Atherton team?

I've never heard of him before since I'm not from the UK but teams have sometimes taken unknown youths who have potential like Troy Brosnan but I assume he would have to be pretty tight with the Atherton clan to be considered for a paid riding spot...

Keep in mind Capt 23 is talking about the management company and not TWR specifically. Those two entities aren't mutually exclusive.

My guess is either Mick Hannah as a pre-cursor to signing him to TWR as Gwin's good friend and a ripper in his own right. Or George Brannigan (more likely), whether Brannigan stays with Devinci is up in the air! A few more weeks and all will be answered!

I'm stumped. The third part is the United Airlines logo, but that's all I can figure out.

Doesn't the second draw looks like the outer line of "This is Peaty" logo? What, he's taking is kid to the states? I don't think so...
