Are you saying Rob Roskopp will be racing for Unno in the Vet Pro E Enduro class? When Pon Holdings bought SCB, I thought Rob Roskopp took a corporate job with Pon? Maybe not or maybe he did and no longer works for them. Or maybe PON HOLDINGS bought Unno, too!! #M&Arumors #boughtoneuptoo

Rumour has it we are announcing Mark Wallace has joined the Norco Factory Team in 3, 2, 1... 

Anyone here with a Norco insider... This is also your subtle reminder that they are watching the forums lol.

The other site confirmed he is out as CEO.  No details but they got inside confirmation that Rob has left Santa Cruz. 
 

interesting comment from Rob

Ran into Mr Melamed on Saturday on Seymour. Anyone want to hazard a guess what bike he was riding? Smile

I thought Joe Graney had been CEO since 2016? Vital did a podcast with him 2 years ago.

The little bit about rob I know i wouldn’t say it’s too surprising he’s happier doing stuff his way whether he’s associated with a brand or not.  Wonder if rob is backing that Unno dh team at all.  Would be cool if he was back on circuit even if he is no longer the syndicate owner in the eyes of fans.

Following the disastrous season of the reality TV show from the site which shall not be named, the coolest guy who got shafted out of a win still ended up on Orbea anyway. Good for Eric!

Tarmo should have won it.

As for Rob, wasn't he the founder of Santa Cruz bikes??

If they were looking for "the whole package" then Eric is clearly the one with personality and the speed. Tarmo is without a doubt a fast racer who should also be picked up by a team. The winner is just a freerider with a big Instagram following.

Yes he started Santa Cruz Bicycles in the mid 90's after his relationship with Santa Cruz Skateboards as a pro skater.

If someone can definitively pinpoint what bike this is based on actual details in the photo I'll paypal them $25.

Rob Roskopp loves racing, I thought Syndicate race team was his personally, it will be interesting to see what happens with that.
