Edit - Could it be Specialized shoes? I don't know enough about the looks of Fox or Specialized shoes to be able to tell what they're wearing in the photo.

Who ever placed those brake levers needs to be beaten with a shoe.

I quoted the heel pic fox logo and all as well as Tanner-Carl's spot on text "fox helmets and shoes"

If you don't think a union boa looks a lot like a 2fo cliplite that's cool... I think they do.

Different strokes for different folks eh?  Some people like pineapple on pizza while others eat their slices crust first. Seen it happen. There were no words. I just left the table. 

My Magic 8 Ball says that as magical as Gwin and Rude together would be, it ain't gonna happen. Gwin riding a Yeti frame is the more likely scenario if it were to go that way. Neither side is gonna drop their sponsor packages for the other. 

I'm super stoked at the possibility of a gearbox on the World Cup stage again. My last memorable World Cup gearbox moment is of Benoit Coulanges' busting just meters out of the start gate. But if memory serves right, that was an Effigear and this one's gonna be a Pinion so problem solved! Laughing Gonna go grab my Pinion-branded tin foil hat and pop some popcorn in anticipation of the good news!

Admittedly mostly stolen from Singletrack Mag, but here's what is still to be confirmed (from what I can remember) listed roughly in order of how strongly they are linked to a team/sponsor:

David Trummer [Probably on MS Intense or equivalent team with Intense frames, all but confirmed]

Angel Suarez leaves Primal Unno Project Race Team. [On Frameworks, all but confirmed]

Ronan Dunne leaves Continental Nukeproof Factory Racing. [Probably on Mondraker, all but confirmed]

Vali Holl leaves RockShox Trek Race Team. [Probably on YT]

Ryan Pinkerton leave GT Factory Racing. [Probably on Mondraker]

Dakota Norton leaves Intense Factory Racing. [Probably on Mondraker]

Danny Hart leaves Cube Factory Racing. [Possibly on Nukeproof as a privateer]

Sam Blenkinsop [Possibly on Zerode]

Taylor Vernon [Possibly on Zerode]

Aaron Gwin leaves Intense Factory Racing. [Possibly on Yeti]

Brook MacDonald leaves MS Mondraker.

Tuhoto Ariki Pene leaves MS Mondraker. 

 

I may have missed a few or gotten something wrong so please chime in if that's the case!

I don't know how Dak is ”probably on Mondraker”, since most hints are suggesting Intense under a fresh MS umbrella. But I could be wrong. The Mondraker team rider announcement episodes beginning today will probably shed some light on this.

The Gamux team have been on pinion gearbox bikes in the DH World Cup for the few years…..

Based on Daks interview after last season, he said he was going to be in a good place. I think he’ll be on an Intense frame with MS Intense.

Factory team is Pinkerton, Norton, Dunne.

Only question left is whether Farina sticks with MS or moves to Mondraker factory team??

Honestly I think the Specialized logo on Frameworks team is just Neko being smart. He knows he can bring them on as a small sponsor and get the team supplied with loaner ebikes, road bikes, XC bikes, enduro bikes if needed. 

Fox is one of those companies thats all or nothing they are the same in moto. Either all fox head to toe or nothing.

One of Specialized upper management of over 2 decades moved back to WNC within the last couple years & Neko's known him a long time.

Whatever arrangement they have is well thought out & rest assured Fox ,Neko & the Big S are all in concert or it wouldn't be there.

That used to be the case. Sam Hill on helmets and goggles, Jack Moir on helmets, goggles and protection. And also for moto, Pro Circuit on Bell helmets and Fox gear
