Magnus leaving Norco. I wonder if this makes way for Finn?

I wouldn't be surprised - but would the gravity team have got finn on board for no reason for the last two years or so

Finn's contract was for 3 years, which I believe carries through next year.

Just saw this about the Nevada State champs race down at Bootleg in Feb. It says YT are bring some of their racers. Do you think they are talking about Cam and some of his friends that ride YT? Or is this hinting at a race team of a few racers?

From what I have been told there will not be one. Too many warranty issues than they liked
for the 26 version.

You sure about that? I thought that they ditched Finn's brother.

MS Mondraker? Ragot moved on, could fit the bill judging by head tube, cable routing and fork?

I was thinking the same thing... right colours 'nd stuff, also a cheeky bit of the distinctively high seat stay popping through on the bottom part of the bike, near the cranks. plus they are down a female racer this year, as you said. The only thing is the team use Alpinestars kit, not fox... but thats not a major thing in the off season, and maybe she is just in it for the frame?

She was on marzocchi in 2015. My guess is it is just a prototype.

Have you seen a Mondraker head tube junction? No chance.

Plus, in the picture on Tahnee, you can see one half-ring of the coil on her shock. It shows the shock to be in a horizontal, or close to horizontal position - therefore ruling out mondraker, giant etc.

Tahnee: Transition TR500 possibly carbon prototype.
it's the right cable routing, horizontalish shock, Ride is willing to bet $ against what it's not and he's a Transition employee.

Jusso off Trek.



Well shit a brick! that has to be the best kept secret of all team rumours this year. Leavnig Trek for another team is not something that happens overnight. HAS to be Fabiens Canyon replacement, surely?

I think you're right, we can see that the rear triangle is made of alu with welds, but nothing on the front !

But I will not speak about the picture of Tahnée, not enought informations in the picture to compare :/
