 So we all know that's not a uno bike. Suarez to GT maybe because of the sponsors? (Clearly he is on fox and Alpinestars)

I’m sure no one needs to be told this as it’s MTB’s worst kept secret, but whilst we’re talking about spotting free agents on new bikes in the wild… Jordan Williams has been spotted multiple times at Dyfi Bike Park on a Specialized.

In her latest Instagram story, Katy Winton looks to be riding Continental Kryptotal tyres. GT were sponsored by Michelin last season, wonder if they are switching?

Would mean another loss for Michelin...

Given how Michelin DH tires have basically disappeared from the market, I wouldn't be surprise if teams were having supply issues and are looking into switching tire sponsor. Their enduro tires range seems available online, but it is definitely fishy that they came out with a brand new line of high quality tires for the gravity market and two years later you can't find them anymore. I checked on MS Mondraker IG and some of their riders were not riding DHxx-branded tires last season (could just be prototypes). However this is just wild facts-less speculation.

Guess that's just an old bike of her back from the Canyon days. Seems like she now is on a full Giro kit and no longer on Unic.

If Jesse is going to Canyon, sorry if I've missed it but has anyone been rumoured to go to SC? Are they likely to have an Enduro syndicate?

AFAIK the only EDR rider they still have is Mark Scott who's on their "Free Agent" program...

I'm guessing santa cruz is spending enough on the syndicate to not be keen to have an enduro team. Even if they should have one, for how overpriced their bikes are.

They look like the “raw” carbon wheels from I9/WAO

I'm not reading too far into the Iago & Cannondale idea. Sure his partner rides for them but I don't think that means too much for his bike deals...

Curious who this could be 🤔 Already addressed it’s not an Enduro racer in the comments.

I'm guessing specialized means Jesus, announcing the second coming and apocalypse.

I think it’s pretty much nailed on/guaranteed to be Jordan Williams. Has been seen on a bike with Renthal/Ohlins suspension which is a Specialized setup. He’s just not been officially confirmed yet.
