Bruni will be sticking with Lapierre, I believe blenky signed a 1 year contract with norco, so large possiblity.

However, i do believe shaun palmer will have his palm over.. the intense WC team if one to was arise.

keeping in mind the kovariks are both still riding intense?? maybe a kovarik comback?

The Canyon factory enduro team is sponsored by ergo - they are stated as ergos factory team on their website.

I believe Tahnee is sponsored by ergon herself and has been for a little while - but i did think that also.

Google managed to index this link 2 days ago. The article on MBA was taken down. The link goes now just to the homepage.

http://gravity-magazine.de/de/article/aaron-gwin-2016-auf-yt-industries

This article has a snippet of what MBA wrote. Towards the bottom. They seem to confirm that Gwin on YT.

Teams have to be submitted by today, but that will hardly get the ball rolling. UCI will post the team lists Feb 12, so the teams still have a month before being forced to do a press release.

Where can I get those MTB specific Moto boots. Are they enduro specific or can I use them for other things too.

Seeming as we are unlikely to have any confirmed Gwin news for a while here's something a little different

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOlIGim5wpw

It's from CNN about Julien Absalon and near the end he says he will retire after the Rio Olympics this year
I know this isn't exactly the site for XC stuff, but losing 2 legends in Peaty and Absalon from WC racing in the same year is pretty big I'd say.
