I doubt it, but it would be cool. Kinda like how Tomac went to Yamaha after people thought he was washed up. Maybe Greg thinks a change of scenery would spice things up and get him back towards the very, very pointy end. It’s no secret he had troubles with the bike at the beginning of the year, and the obvious mechanic swap mid season. Maybe he’s over the Syndicate.
I believe he's going "Reg Dunlop" with a brand that would certainly get the reference...
Reg Dunlop from Slap Shot?
So he's moving a team to Florida?
Ha. Meant rider and manager.

Suzanne to an all girls team.
Heres a new one, vali hoell to scott?
Logo that Vali is hiding under hands looks like it has some YT angles to it.
Brendog on Pirelli too, he's been Maxxis since Jesus was a boy...
I presume they are all together for promo vid/photo deal, which sponsor do they all have in common?
Brendan was already on Pirelli this year. The only sponsors I think he shares with Marine are Scott and Fox... he's running Hayes brakes and SRAM drivetrain, and I think she's on the usual Fox/Shimano.
I think it’s filming a deathgrip2 segment. Read somewhere awhile back they had to wait to film a couple parts so some riders would be in the right sponsored kit when it came out
This checks out, the Deathgrip filmers have been putting on IG they are also in the Pacific City area right now...
Ronan Dunne is IN south africa right now isnt he, think I've seen it on his instagram. So Irishman riding a Unno in africa
On a podcast with Rob Roskopp last year (downtime?) he talked about how he was riding the Unno ebike, and how good it was.
Think her to TFR has been the most obvious off season change. Trek did what they did with Bodhi last year where they 'support' the rider until the off season where they then sign them. Sasha was in the TFR end of season photo so presumably she was gonna be on the team
Was there ever any follow up on this? Rob had just been let go from SC, and was talking about some amazing tech for ebikes (my best guess is some regen braking or different fuel/battery) but I havn't seen anything about him or the idea since.
Unno is all over his Insta, IIRC there was a bunch of chat the first time he posted it (right after he and SC "parted ways" which also caused a lot of chatter): https://www.instagram.com/rob_roskopp/
Seen Greenland and Brosnan hanging out together a lot. Brosnan was on a Hightower.
Brosnan to Syndicate?
That'd be wild, I figured Brosnan as a lifer with Canyon, and for SC to afford 5 very high profile riders would be shocking given the climate of the bike industry nowadays
Has it been discussed the rumours of Jill kintner moving over to Yeti?
She's connected to the Forge and Bond company so maybe it's a F&B/Yeti program or something for her.
i would have thought he'd be riding a Bronson
Mate only thing I can see coming from this is either Greg leaving and Brosnan becoming the high end 'veteran' or Troy was borrowing Loz's bike
Since that isn’t Nukeproof the brand, I’m betting we will see that team pick up a new frame sponsor, which most are eluding to being GT, with possibly having Wyn involved somehow?
More referring to dunne being there, but the fact they tagged bluegrass in the comments and no mention of nukeproof could suggest a frame swap
He was running schwalbe when riding for claudio at velosolutions…..
Someone said that one major team will split in 2 with the same frame brand. Would it be syndicate with Troy and Laurie on the new team and on SC ?
SC North America & SC World teams? I could see Jackson and Pinky as the N.A. team and Laurie and Troy the World team.
