From what seemed a relatively quiet year for rumours has now blown up to be one of the busiest surely ?

Shaw, Greenland, Fearon, Maes, others and now the Commencal 21 team.
I know we know where a few of these riders are going but whos off to Mondraker ? Where will Wallace go if Luca goes to Canyon and have to let him go.
Atherton Racing need to sell bikes and see results after Rachel had a baby, Gee destroyed himself and they have now released Millie maybe a top 10 male rider heading there way ?
Will GT bring someone in to race DH as Wyn doesn't really put in amazing results and Maes was part time at best.

All I know is I love it and cant wait for new riders on new teams and prototype bikes!

Wallace to Norco?

Also Wyn is content maker and that's his value for brands, not his results.

That is correct

Although not surprising (as she's left Ibis) Bex's last post is saying thanks to POC.

Fearon is more likely to be on Pivot, Bernard has always said they have been "like" teammates throughout the years. Especially now cuz emily has moved on.

This would be awesome news! Bernard's videos are essential viewing during the season. It would be great to see Fearon go through the race season.

Fearon’s mechanic/team manager was on the downtime podcast recently and it sounded like they are a pretty tight unit. I’ll be interested to see if it’s the same team setup with a new frame sponsor or if Connor goes somewhere new.

Atherton have a very low key very fast Austrian on the team, and getting a top 5-10 rider might be too expensive/a hard move for them to make as it would signal the first time in years it is not an Atherton sibling as top male/femeale rider on the team, and that always seemed to be a point of pride for them, wrong as it might have rubbed on many people outside the industry (inside they seem to be actually quite well liked as far/little I can see).

Would be interesting though, the bike looks good, would be cool to see if anybody not named Rachel can win an Elite WC on it.

Christopher Blevins off Trinity Racing. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a spot on the specialized factory team.
He's been on Speshy his whole career, I don't see that changing.
They learned their lesson with Kate Courtney, gotta keep that Red Thread going......

Blevins is also a Durango boy, and this town has lots of Speshy connections/history.

Pretty sure that was mentioned up-thread and I hope it's true, I think he and Bulldog would be a fantastic combo!

And The Syndicate allows for different clothing sponsors. Perhaps this is the beginning of different parts sponsors too?

I read it as goodbye; if he's going to the Syndicate no more Renthal for him... (If he's not going to SC it still narrows the possibilities down a bit).

Greenland saying "goodbye" to Renthal on his latest insta post or maybe he keep riding it on his new bike ?

Macdonald's insta bio omitting MS Mondraker or any other supporting brand?

Didn't Nina start her own team last year with SC and have a roster of riders with her? I can't see her shutting it down that quickly although I'm happy to be wrong.

Her IG post on the 22nd December is being interpreted as a final thanks as she steps up to a full team ride with the Syndicate

Greg leaving O Neal after what like 10 years? That seems shocking
