I'm not 100%, but Katy Wintons last post sounds like she's got something else going on next season after her privateer year. Interested to see if something's up.

Dakota and Luca on FTW specials.

Due to airline bike weight restrictions, they will only be racing in North America.

Is Noga still on GT? She and Katy are buds and would make great team-mates!

We've already seen this before from Specialized couple years ago, they had some good and a lot of bad.

Worst than that was the las year he was on spz, one different outfit every race, it looked like a zoolander movie rather than a proper balls out sprint to the finish line..

I think the orange seal off-road team might be dissolving. From what I’ve heard He’s got some pretty big plans in the works for next year.

Neko officially off Intense via email.

He included two pics of Jack in his departure IG post, maybe it’s a coincidence but maybe he’s going to Canyon..? I personally doubt that but it’s the only clue I could pull from his post

Could Neko be going Provateer? It sounded from that podcast shared earlier that he might be putting all the pieces together himself.

Luca, Dak, and Neko are forming the Waffle House-Chik-fil-a-Bud Light-Honda mega team. They'll ride 1987 CR 500's with the gas tanks full of Milo's tea.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I know he loves racing, but he also has a ton of interests beyond just his personal racing.

Hell, I'd love to see him put together his own team with a sponsor.

Now that’s a surprise. Where is this and whose truck is that because it’s not Neko’s escape. Looks like the top of the parkway but not sure what he’d be shuttling.

that also might be Colin Mulally, who rides for Camp 3 and Specialized, and runs Troy Lee helmets.

100% that is Colin. Same kit he wears and he has a red demo. Boo @boogenman for stirring the pot with that pic.
