You're right

Italian brand but they recently opened up a Utah HQ. I believe they custom build all their North America orders in that location. Springs and components of those builds still probably come from Asia, but is Yoann saying he only rides parts that source raw materials locally?

He tries to work with locally sourced companies when and where possible. For instance, I'm not aware of any companies making tires in North America.

Barelli posted a story with covered up shock and crank, which I think heavily points to the one company that makes both.

Also about Ethan Sandro, is he the first second generation star racer, ie like father like son? I know Brunis father has been racing whole life but he was never the Shandro caliber star of the sport with kid jumping ahead in big steps?

Eli was a top level mtn bike racer? Never knew that.

This is a forum to discuss and speculate sponsor changes among top level mtb athletes. You didn’t know that? Who cares what you think....

Well I guess you are one of those “wannabe” loosers. Sad to see that riders can make $200 000 for just posting cool shit when there is top 30 WC riders that’s paid $0. Something off with the industry in my mind. I’m fine to see two posts about Barelli but this is overkill. I will stop here, back to the TEAM rumours please.

Come on man! Barelli is one of the coolest people in the sport. He is also a former racer. Perfectly appropriate to discuss him here.

Some lads really took the piss talking about zinc here this year, it was so frustrating to read all that. Let’s not get stuck in a conversation about Barelli’s ethical choice in sponsors. Still loads of people to announce new teams. Really interested in where Brannigan will end up

Kye A'Hern off Canyon CLLCTV!
I shouldn't be so surprised considering the speculation about a potential American signing.

Greg won't be around much longer. Also, Kathy was probably happy with the 3 lads and didnt want to mess with the environment that she liked. But she probably doesnt make any final decisions on roster...

Love it when people write Greg won’t be around much longer…… the same Greg that is the current world champ! just let the guy keep riding… he has a lot more years left in him. why walk away when your still a contender!?
Would be rude for him not to ride his 25th season after all.

Tuhoto liked mondraker bikes post about the carbon DH bike December 24th also follows both MS team and mondraker bikes too.

Doesn’t seem to follow any other teams or brands other than union and zerode (being a kiwi brand that’s normal)

I’d say there is strong chance Tuhoto joins the bulldog

Is that official? Every time I see someone say Commencal 100% I never know if they’re guaranteeing it’s commmencal or specifying their goggle sponsor Smile

Kye A'Hern's departure makes the much-repeated Luca/Canyon rumor even more plausible. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

If that's their bike; someone short, on the Black Box program, and from France.
The Speshy Enduro page has a French flag with a question mark by it.
