Just to add further Loic speculation into the mix, he posted up on Instagram to say that his trip to San Diago in Jan is all booked. Doesn't Commencal have a US HQ in San Diago that it uses as a winter training base for it's European athletes?
Rumors of a new bike from Norco in the works also. See if they developed into something.
Rach just made a going away post, from GT, but them on Trek is "old" news. Brooks not tagging trek anymore, be interesting to see a trade between GT and Trek.
Thats Taylor Vernon. Going to be sweet seeing them on those bikes!
Is anyone else almost disappointed that they aren't doing something totally unexpected?
My first thought is, looks like Maes isn't with them for sure now. Shame for Dan really. What's also a shame for Dan is the fact he got to design and build a bike that was exactly what he wanted to race on.. and then barely spent any time on it due to injury.
I'd be really intrigued as to what he chooses to ride for enduro from Trek. Seems like the Slash would suit him best? Anyone got any thoughts on that?
Loic, Loris and Finn are not on Canyon. There are too many conflicting sponsors.
Loic is travelling to San Diego for an Internship with 100%, some of his other sponsors are based there too. The bike brand is based in Northern California, so I guess that will be on his agenda too.

A couple of the sponsors do seem to be the same (100%, Schwalbe) but the others are not (Fox vs RS, SRAM vs Shimano). Then there's the post by Loic about wanting to be with Blenki again.
With twr gone Maby Martin will be his team manager?
I doubt it. Martin owns the World Racing team. Trek was the frame sponsor much like MS, who now has Mondraker as the frame provider but used Evil and Intense in the past.
I can see Martin coming up with a new program with a new frame sponsor. Do not forget, he is also the agent with his 23 degrees to many riders, especially from NZ.

Of course! 100%. I forgot they were in San Diago. I imagine Loic will do some promo for the Aircraft helmet whilst he's there? If Gwin were to start a new team, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if Lolo went to the Big S. I would be surprised if Loris didn't move wherever Loic goes though.
As for Martin Whitely, the guy's seriously connected and experienced. It wouldn't be shocking to learn that he's already done all his business for 2016 and is just waiting to announce it.
The Athertons are in Portugal/Lousã, for the first tests !! Probably more news in this facebook, from a local rider/photographer facebook.com/twentyfourm/
Just saw this on pinkbike. The pictures are already deleted.
Norco has to be picking up someone big!

Gwin is starting his own Team being backed by an undisclosed american company outside the bike industry.
Enjoy
Sorry.......

"I c what u did there"
but it wouldn't work.
Proportions between south and north seem a bit off but Santa Cruz is for sure in the north!
