This is getting annoying. Is Gwin trying to pull a Lebron James?
Odd that it is taking this long to finalize and I can only imagine there may be a very large degree of mistrust working with him due to his past dealings.

So Nukeproof now have 2 teams (Factory Racing + CRC/Paypal team), like Specialized with the Factory Racing (Brosnan) and Gravity Team (Bruni) ? Or I misunderstood something ?
If yes, looks like we didn't saw them coming with so much money.....

CRC always had two teams - the official CRC team and a 'junior' Nukeproof team.

Jacob Dickson is not on CRC, he's on Nukeproof Factory Racing. Read the press release above, it has the details. We got some additional info about the Nukeproof structure from Rob. Here's what he said.
"We have a Junior development team (Jacob actually rode for us some time ago as a youth) and this is the natural next step up.
Jacob will be running himself with support from us at the World Cups where possible. Unfortunately the big trucks and tents will have to wait, as we can't run more than one full factory team, but the opportunity to run a rider like Jacob was too good to miss, so we will be helping Jacob as much as we can. We want to put a program together that allows him to be competitive. As he is local to our HQ, Jacob will be a great rider to test and develop future products from us."

Yup, I read the article. Just wanted to show that KTM sponsoring a DH racer isn't that far-fetched after all.
renner (FMX superstar) riding a DH bike in his spare time with his KTM-branded jersey on is considerably different than KTM sponsoring a mountain racer.
Race Ready eh?
