Imagine Jesse going to scott with their new genius st.
Not entirely sure why an enduro world champion would go to a bike brand based on then releasing a 150mm ‘trail bike’?
surely he’d be more interested in the Ransom which is their dedicated enduro race bike.
One of these kids has a VERY famous parent. If you lot think you’re so good at sleuthing, work out which kid, and who their parent is… go!
Yes but everyone on the scott team rn is riding the genius and maybe they will just put on a 170mm fork
Is Felix the son of Fionn Griffiths?
the truth is out there…
Yeah - his mother was at an uplift day a while back and all of the dads were falling over each other to help her out (I think he was too young at the time to be unaccompanied).
On a different note, surprised that Jordan Williams to Specialized hasn't been announced yet - I've heard it's been a done deal for weeks.

Wasn’t Commencal 100 manager the one who was a part of the pierron n word controversy? I’d imagine a lot of sponsors were not happy and perhaps were not willing to renew contracts.
Yeah, Pierron went for a "sensitivity" training camp with Monster energy at the Hungarian f1 GP with Mercedes. That solved the problem
Definitely not.
She's a lifestyle "athlete" now. Between her coors light sponsorship, ford bronco deal and her painting work, There's no need to head back to racing.
I have chatted with her before. HEr view of the racing world and the toxic behavior from sponsors made it feel she really had no interest heading back between the tape.
It was the Commencal '21 team manager. Muc-off pulled their sponsorship immediately and the team ended up dissolving after the 2021 season. Thats how Angel Suarez ended up on Commencal/100%.
I'm going to go camp out on South Mountain and see what I can find. Geronimo laps yesterday just a few miles from the Pivot HQ. Fox has a presence in Phoenix now too, though it sounds like he's off Fox from the goodbye post the other day.
PFP not going for 5
Malene Degn spotted on a Lapierre??. New Factory team?. Since she is off KMC Orbea?
Kmc Orbea don't exist anymore, it's Orbea Factory Team and she's not in. Plus, Malene wrote a piece some weeks ago toi thanks Orbea. I wonder were she's going... Maybe Lapierre is back in XC with Sram and Mavic at least !
Who’s his mum? also a ex racer?
Yeah she was a racer, Fionn Griffiths was one of the top female riders, a class act on the bike and off with a real passion for the sport.
She put a lot into the British scene, as well as racing she also ran race teams. I think she also use to be managed by Martin Whiteley at one point.
Yeah I remember her. Great rider! checked her Instagram page, still seems to be riding. No post about having a kid, must keep that stuff private. Good on him and the rest of the team for getting signed, they be in good hands with Matt as their coach.
That’s because she’s not his mum.
I'm going to guess Posh Spice
SCB had to let go of Roskopp to open up the budget for Jesse M!!?!?!?!
That’s what I was kinda of thinking…. but didn’t want to bring it up. so who is his mum… and is she famous or what?
the truth is apparently WAY out there...
Suarez on Alpine stars and fox...
Maybe gt?
Maybe they need to mulder this one over a little more in their scully
It's actually a decent possibility when you think about it. I mean I feel we all can see Wyn becoming a Manager of the GT team in the near-ish future and until that time he still gonna get out there and race and do his thing with Wyn TV. ... but I do imagine GT wouldn't mind having a guy who if can stay healthy physically and can Duke it out with the top 10 guys.
The MOTHER in question isn’t known for riding bikes… she’s an actress.
Gillian Anderson
While none has officially confirmed, I think the right tense is she “was” part of that crew, while she and Kaos were together, which seems to not be a thing anymore.
