That'd be awesome if Markus is taking a stab of being "VitalMTB 2024 Team Rumors Troll Of The Year" , dethroning the 2023 award winner, Jesse Melamed. Between joining the FB intense bike ownership group, posting old IG photos of previous frame sponsors, etc. I've learned that if there's smoke, there's fire.. so I'm not dismissing anything that's been pointed out, but I've certainly got the popcorn ready to see how this one unfolds!

Training camp

and picking up his intense frames, used to ride for intense Uk and he is still supported by  Troy Lee uk. 
like what Jeff alluded too on insta

“Joe Breeden & MS Intense Racing” would fit the bill nicely

I mean the upstairs might be... bougie? Maybe is a price dependent situation.

Thanks, I know why Joe's there but I meant Felix; why is a Madison/Saracen youth rider hanging out in SoCal?

Can anybody still create a fake account like that brilliant comedian did with Taco Bell & IHOP?

Because somewhere out there, there is a certain @kidwoo who seems capable of assuming a false identity just to troll a bike nerd forum.

Sure but this account has over 2,500 followers and has MS Racing related posts dating back a long time.  Seems to be the real deal.  Could be trolling but seems I’d be surprised by this level of effort through this small Facebook group

Just my 2c on a couple of observations.

Bulldog is still riding a Mondraker, he's been in Rotorua for the last few weeks too. About 3 hours away from our home town.

Looks like he's been riding with Tuhoto a lot and a few other local's.

My guess is that while he's no longer on MS, he may be on some subset of a factory program from Mondraker. This also explains why he's been hooning around on a factory spec Foxy RR (insta shows this)

 

Speaking of Tuhoto, Nothing confirmed with him lately either. He was photographed on a pivot a few weeks back but then has also been out on Mondraker too.

 

Danny is in Queenstown, ripping around on a nukeproof... I think this doesnt tell us much other than he's possibly on a loaner or a bike he's picked up in NZ. What teams are confirmed on Nukeproof this year? after all the wiggle/CRC problems?
Coincidental that BK has just opened what looks like a workshop type situation with pivot in QT? probably but there is a chance. This is a Rumours thread.

 

Is Blenky still on Crestline? What Sam Hill up to?

AG on Yeti sounds extremely plausible to me 

Lastly, do we care to talk XC team changes or is this a gravty thread?

Well that’s a coincidence, because every time someone posts something even remotely interesting in this thread, I hear the X-Files theme song in my head…

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.  I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
