This is the most plausible scenario I've seen yet.
Would Balanche to Pivot mean Jenna leaves?
Craik to Scott would not bode well for him. They really are a French team. The other scenarios look feasible.
Goncalo Bandeira signed with Scott, he had a story on IG. He said that more details to follow.
I hope you’re wearing steel toe boots with all those names you’re dropping.
Jenna Hastings (I was in her vlog), Louise Ferguson, Ronain Dunne, Oisin O'Callahan, the entire Fox team. I walked up the hill with Jake and Sheafer and bought Pete a bunch of chocolate. Got Jackson Goldestone to say hello to my Mum. Vali Holl taught me German and Loic was fist bumping me in the start hut. There's too many to list! Vali's mechanic Matt and his wife Chloe. Greg the Physio. Charlie Hatton and Andy Kolb. Dan Atherton. etc etc etc
Some little pr*ck online who whinges when I post something???????? STFU.
These people matter to me! And what they care about matters to me whether that is signing someone or highlighting something and in this case it's something Noga Korem cares deeply about and when she's ready she will share what her 24 plqns are aand I might share it with you guys!
What I don't care about is some d*ick who can't take one simple comment. Next time I'm at a race I'll have another beer with Laurie and that muppet can sit online and post to his heart's content.
That comment really pissed me off. Have some heart for FS!
People matter and I apologise if I've introduced some controversy but people matter and I know a few of them.
Maybe something’s lost in translation, but you’re sounding pretty much like a serious douchebag. Hopefully you sober up in the morning and edit your post.
IDK, what I am picking up is he has many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany. We should take him very seriously and acquiesce to him throwing things that have nothing to do with rumors into a rumors thread. That said, I also don't think one should be banned for such a mistake.
Katy Winton off GT and on the hunt for a new ride in 2024. I really hope she can find something!
Buddy, lots of people on here have done lots of cool stuff, are doing lots of cool stuff, know many amazing people and are also very involved in the bike industry at many different levels or are those people that are racing. They just don't use it to try to boost and make it seems like their comments or opinions matter more than others. If you want to be taken seriously I'd chill and show some respect to all the people you name dropped enough not to use them to try and elevate yourself above someone else.
Yeah sure, a douchebag that cares that Vali has a youth program and Noga has a political aspect and doesn't appreciate other douchbags thinking these people exist entirely for your entertainment.

Screw ukraine, screw israel, and screw palestine. I'm here to find out what Gwin and Dak are doing next year. Take that shit somewhere else.
Does Pivot Factory Racing have the budget for Balanche? I would guess not the cheapest salary out there. And I don't think BK would kick his GF out of the racing roster and hire Balanche.
Absolutely noone wants to read your political posts, and your name dropping really isn't helping either. Loads of folk in the chat have contacts with high level names in the mtb world but dropping them like you are doing is just weird.
We are all here for fun team rumours chat not politics. Take it elsewhere.
There were rumors that Pivot is splitting into separate DH and enduro teams so this could mean there will be some resources availabe in the DH team, also Balanche has deep conections in the Pivot team with Emily being the coach.
so.... is Dorval Commencal really shutting down?
But notice how Emilie has been MIA for quite a while now? She missed half the season this year.
I know Cami got hurt at Andorra, but ever since Emilie has not been present at the Pivot camp. Whereas before she was there very round, even after MSA in 2022 when Cam wrecked her collarbone.
Maybe there was a falling out after Bernie started dating his 19yo employee?
Irony of arguments is they can won by simply NOT responding.
The thing about the Scott team being French? From a dude w/ a New Jersey tag line. Not sure I understand your meaning on that one.
And if someone like Craik or Coulanges or Pinky or Dak moved to a team like Scott, they'd be in a great position.
1. Because they'd have a team to race for
2. They'd be on a FSR platform
3. Team management are close, personal friends I've shared bed sheets with & patted down several times in a "friends with benefits" sort of way after sharing a long night of fine food & wine. But...I digress. Tis a lie and a waking dream.
Emilie is on the Making Up the Numbers podcast and hasn’t indicated any split with Pivot and has explained why she didn’t go to North America with the team pretty extensively. Partially cost and partially to take care of Cami.
Is this still the team rumours thing? Asking for a friend.
Well we know where the trolls that get banned from other forums end up.
Team rumours/gossip
Killian Bron to Transition ?
Is BK seriously dating Jenna? Wow!
I heard Taylor Swift wanted Gwin but then found out he was married and went to Kelce to get over him.... TRUTH!!
Let's stop the BS and keep on track!!!
This years team rumours thread is one of the worst. No hype. No good rumours.
A bunch of bitching and name drops. Dick swinging competition followed by gossip and other bs.
Let's make the TEAM RUMORS forum great again here people!
i'm pretty blown away to have to say this to grown adults (i assume) in our forum, but every time someone trolls or says something you don't like, quoting it and explaining why it's lame/unsavory/kooky/political only makes the thing you dislike live on for days. in the history of the internet, has anyone ever changed their mind and said "you're right," after being challenged/critiqued/criticized/called out in a forum? not that i'm aware of. the garbage has been moderated for now. if you don't like something said here, use the thumbs down, move on, watch it die and it'll be forgotten. if you believe something is worthy of discussion (or a pissing match), start a new forum topic outside of here.
New here so not sure of the efficacy of info but can anyone corroborate the above?
Not sure if this’ll help, but id be surprised if they do. Considering they are one of the higher profile commencal teams you’d presume it would be some of the smaller commencal teams that would shut down before the higher teams. Just a guess 🤷♂️
What if a larger team loses the title sponsor? One of the very few that is from outside the industry.
