It has to be a guess, and a rather bad one. Mullaly on Scott seems pretty sure. Mullaly/SRAM/TLD/Intense is just one of those american dream plans I guess. Just like Gwin with Trek, then Gwin with Specialized...

Sometimes it's refreshing hearing the whole word endurance instead of enduro enduro enduro. I looked real hard… Is that a new Kona under Connor or is this older Kona footage?

Good point but I didn't mean it like this. Strangely enough for me people like to see things from a nation perspective. And this is not exclusive to America (Bruni on a french bike for instance...).
This "american dream" was one of the sales pitch of Gwin for him moving to Trek and it became "California Dream" when to Specialized. But this is out of topic. At what time should UCI teams officially register? Then we may learn much more about the transfers!

How can you pitch an 'American Dream' to an American who is already on an American team (Yeti at the time)? I think Gwin moved for other reasons (money/support/factory location etc).

Agree about the reasons, but in the ned that's what Gwin said. I'm not inventing anything here. It was probably in an interview for Dirt Magazine.

What should we take from this? Are there any familiar faces, other than Palmer?

That pic of Palmer is from the inauguration of the Intense Store in Madrid..

From the news about the new v10:
"About two hundred revelers showed up for the invitation-only bash, including a cadre of yet-to-be-announced additions to the Syndicate Team."

Any guesses?

I smell a trap! Maybe? Neko might not be the rider we are looking for. Could there be more subtle hints in the picture? Who is that sitting next to Ratboy that you can barely see in the window reflection? Or even better who is that taking the picture. Kind of looks like the side profile of Marc Beaumont?

As for Neko anyone pickup on the last rider in the "Most respected mountain bike riders" line? Seems to point even more to Scott?

Hiring a young gun would make sense though with Greg retiring after this season?

Something interesting about Intense's WC team:
"Bernard Guardia, Brian Lopes, Chris Kovarik and Shaun Palmer have been discussing the best strategy for the new team, and there is not going to be just a one-year view, it’ll be a long-term program built with real integrity. We won’t be going in a buying a rider, the big companies can do that, we just don’t have that luxury.
We’ve been watching the fast junior riders, for ones that we can help develop. They will be riding our new yet to be released downhill bike, they will have day to day coaching with World Cup legend Bernard Guardia, and guest coaching with Shaun, Brian or Chris.

So we have signed three young riders, one Spaniard, American and an Aussie."

Also, I got a little excited by the statement about "six new frames in development" & "We don’t have a ‘super enduro’ bike as yet".

Interesting...I'll have a guess at Ferran Jorba Prats (based on age/world ranking) Luca Shaw and Jack Moir.

He's been on Fox products for a long time, syndicate run Fox, and Scott runs fox, so his shirt says absolutely nothing.

Truth. Good call. They could all be hanging out before or after a hush hush Fox product preview while Peat and Bryceland were in town for the Santa Cruz Chistmas party slash V-10 release.. And I second the San Pligrino team roumor. Love the stuff.
