With the MS Intense Team lineup announced, that puts Gwin on Yeti or Trek.
Since he lived with the Yeti folks in Colorado during his come uppance, I'm voting Yeti.
Deep inside, I want to be stunned by a full factory Trek Gwinner doing stupid crazy laps with Loris and Reeco.

Now that I typed that out, it's gotta be A.A. Ron & Rico Rudiculous on Team Yeet-E.

 

I think a huge reason for Yeti in the beginning was Houseman’s connection to Yeti

Yes, key freckles line up. Excellent work finding this! 
Mondraker not sponsored by ONOFF Components (who make that bar)... 

 

OnOff is listed on the MFR webpage.

I think OnOff is Mondraker's house brand of components, is it not? Their address is Mondraker HQ.

In a big turn of events, Dak turns to international hand modeling and quits racing to protect the valuable hands. 

I've seen that Seinfeld episode. 

Dak, stay away from any irons!

Ahhhhh interesting. ONOFF does/did not appear on the team sponsor graphic that was posted on Vital, the Pink site, nor the MFR Instagram (the places I checked before posting earlier). Must be recent update, hence them added at the bottom of that photo... Or did you mock that up? haha I can't access the MFG team page from the US to look---it's giving me a country error.

This is what peak athleticism looks like and I don't care what anyone else says.

No mock up, I promise.  Just a curious bystander (like most but not all) here.  Using an IPhone 7 if that makes me more believable.

I heard an otherwise off limits team might have two very big name riders next year...

Personally, I don't know if this is 100% true but I heard it through the grapevine of top riders, and if it is true then we are in for a wild few years of rider mix ups and possibly smaller/not dominant brands getting really good results

Drop some names, this is the least fruitful rumor I’ve ever read

Gwin, sherlock, delasalle on a new commencal team? Wish gwin would be on yeti to finish out though

1/19/2024 3:59pm

Gwin, Dak and Vali to yt ! 

I don’t think Gwinn holds a grudge against YT but they did him dirty the last time around so I highly doubt he’s returning to them

Brook did win Junior Worlds in 2009 (same year Steve Peat won), didn't realize that until I looked it up.

Gwin is going to end up where he can buy into it and management like at Intense

That’s right away going to cut out certain teams. It’ll be interesting to find out what he can do for running his program 

Mtbbeta wrote:

Or is he going to find a team that will just let him race and focus on nothing but racing to finish out his career? 

Just saying. From what I’ve heard…

Yeah I'll admit I zoomed in on both and matched some key freckles on both hands. Some are not as prominent in the mondraker photo but I'm 99% sure it's him. ... the whole process felt weird as hell haha.

As others have speculated/suggested, Onoff is Mondraker's "in-house" components brand. Their bars, grips, stems, headsets, seatposts etc. are fitted onto pretty much every Mondraker bike going. Think I've still got a set of bars kicking around the shed from my old bike.

Nah, it was more your insistence that there was no way Intense had a team this year, let alone 2 teams.

A lot of us were just hoping Dak would end up on one of them after he crushed last year.

But if he got two different Intense bikes to work for him, my money is on him doing it with Mondraker as well.

The haircut better be just a rumor though...

I'm seeing Mark Wallace in that blur.

What about Wallace, Macdonald, and Fearon?

 

Nah, that’s Magnus manson bike. Not race related but aggie commented on post and then showed a new blacked out frame in his story, reckon he’s going to be on a forbidden too.

Can't sort out the second champion but F me sideways... If Connor and Danny Hart are on the same team next year there's gonna be a lot of no talking and corner slapppping going on with that team. My two favorite racers on one team!? Hot damn! Make it be true!

Miranda Miller making a comeback to DH ? Probably unlikely

Vali on Fox and Continental? Which is weird because most YT DH riders recently announced a switch to Schwalbe tires. And if they were doing the uncaged thing in DH wouldn’t she stay with Sram?

Nice. But it looks like it's not her bike. Her appears to be in the background, as of the DT Swiss wheels, which she has always used. Also consistent with the Kryptotals. What's clear though is that she il trolling a bit and rightfully so.
