Steve Peat and Laurie Greenland both rode at North Nibley yesterday on their E Bikes, Laurie was still riding Mondraker from the images he put on Instagram. Bit of an odd place for Peaty to go to though, it's very local to Laurie and he rides there often but Peaty isn't usually around that area. The Syndicate rumours could be true?
ORRRR Steve Peat to Mondraker 2022.
You heard it here first folks!

Any more murmurs on Connor or Miranda leaving Kona and going elsewhere? Anyone else filling their spots on Kona if they are leaving?

I'd say the last paragraph in that IG post by Miranda confirms she's leaving

Connor still references Kona in his IG bio and continues to tag them on his posts, leaving little room for speculation for him

I thought someone here posted a rumor that Kona was shutting down their race team?

Kona is getting out of the Pro Athlete game and going all grassroots.

Jolanda Neff moving to the states full time? Sunday morning McDonalds coffee crew in Pisgah Forest said she was making an offer on a 1.65million piece of property. Guess the Swiss athletes ain’t doin too shabby.

So if Luca is on Canyon hypothetically, who loses this game of Musical Chairs? Surely not a 4 man megateam!?

Troy (would bet my left nut he's staying)
Mark (probably bet my right nut....)
Kye? Young fella won Jr Worlds and is getting faster all the time...

Help me Ja Rule!

That would make sense being that she's close with the whole team already. But Rocky has had the same team for a while, which would lead me to believe that they're likely paid pretty well. So would they be able to afford another athlete like Miranda on the team?

I'd say Jolanda is a cut above the rest. Wink

Connor to Syndicate ? haha but all jokes aside.
He's an amazing rider and I know Kona is a factory ride but feel Connor would benefit from having a different bike and some faster riders around him on a proper team, maybe Mondraker would pick him up If Laurie leaves

If it goes that way, does this mean there will be just Commencal vs Canyon in 2025?

I'm fairly sure that Kona is disbanding the factory team for the 2022 season, so unless he went the route of ambassador/youtuber (which I don't see him doing) he would need to make a move.

Winning a gold medal does typically afford one some nice opportunities..

There is the option that Kona is getting out of being the Team but still provides the frames. It seems to be the way things are going lately.

Troy has a long-term contract. Mark is the one who could leave. a couple of star names on that team, they wouldnt be able to support 3 top ticket riders., especially with jack on the enduro side.

The big red S adding a lead female on the enduro side of things. Not sure if this was covered earlier in the thread.
