Except in the press release, Fabien says:

"“It is a great opportunity for our factory team to welcome Thibaut with his young age next to experienced riders like Troy and Luca. I have been following Thibaut's progression for many years, and his passion to win and determination are unmatched. I believe we have an incredibly strong team for 2024, and I deeply look forward to the coming season." - Fabien Barel, Canyon CLLCTV Team Mentor."

Watching the Downtime Podcast that was recently posted with Alan Milway has reminded me of Dante Silva 

is he still on canyon CLLCTV or not? I see he’s still tagging them in recent posts on his IG and wearing a CLLCTV t-shirt on the podium at a recent US race 

but the podcast only mentions Troy Luca and Thibault 

and the team announcement only mentions the same 3 

so where in the world is Carmen San Diego  er I mean Dante Silva 

According to Barel, Silva is with the CLLCTV. It was bit odd he tagged three boys and Johnset but not Silva.

Only a few more days left before all teams need to be finalized right?? 
to recap, AG, Mark Wallace, Bulldog, Danny Hart haven’t announced anything official 

which women haven’t signed yet? Or haven’t been announced 

 

is Rachel Atheron gonna do any races this year? 
 

saw a TS57 post this morning, a gym pic, she’s looking ripped and ready to go for May already lol 

are we gonna see Tracy Hannah do any crankworx DH events or is she busy as a mom? Is she still team manager for NS? 
 

1 more month to RedBull hardline NZ

A bit off topic, but can anyone explain Tahnee's 57 thing? Is she sponsored by Heinz?

Really wish we could go to permanent # plates in DH.  Let's you put a big # on your jersey & gets WAY easier for us to ID riders coming by when # plate, sleeves & back all have your consistent #.

What is with Propain Factory Racing? They actually wanted to come back in 2024 after the year break in 2023.

In the MUTN Podcast Martin Whiteley said, that he was in discussion with propain to manage the new propain dh team for 2024 and onwards, but...

In the MUTN Podcast Martin Whiteley said, that he was in discussion with propain to manage the new propain dh team for 2024 and onwards, but it got postponed by propain and Martin committed to manage frameworks. So it's unlikely that there will be a team in 2024. But he also said that they have strong ambitions to have a strong team if they return to the world cups.

It would be funny if they announced that they only wanted to come back with an average team :D

Per the latest Downtime Joe Breeden now owns Intense Factory Racing. Shocked

It’s the old resolute racing team which Mikayal Parton was on. (She’s back to being a full privateer) Owned by Oscar griffiths father 

I don't understand what that means...

Yoann Barelli just announced he's off EXT suspension. Wonder what he'll be riding next?

Dude, I feel you, but they can't get more basic things figured out, like listening to the riders if it's safe for them to ride that damn semifinal or not. It's pretty much like if your house is on fire, but what you care about about is that the lunch that you are eating doesn't feature enough wild salmon and caviar.

I'd like to see permanent numbers too, but it's not exactly the main thing that we are missing. We are missing VENUES. At least two big ones are no more this year. Riders are struggling to find teams, brands are not sponsoring racing anymore.

I heard a rumor that Cube would have a Factory supported XC squad, with 3 riders. Bart Brentjens KMC Team getting support from Ridley and potentially adding a young Canadian talent to the roster.

The Forbidden DH bike would be a good match to Bulldog's Hulk Smash riding style.

On a scale of 1-10 the chances of him riding for forbidden are a super-nought

I'll show myself the door

He's been spotted in Roto-Vegas riding Forbidden..🤔

Gwin trolling the netz on a Thursday.
Meanwhile, Richie's out running around all of Pisgah over the last week or so with Kahn, Neko and who knows who else in the marshy, monsoon weather with nary a pic of Gwinner.
Granted Neko's most recent pic has a rider hiding behind Kahn, so you never know. 

With WindRock having been iced in until yesterday, maybe someone will spot him at Rock Creek & break trust by sending spy pics.  After all, the E13 video was shot in his AirBNB up in Hendo, not far from Rock Creek, but pretty sure it's old footage like the wrapped M1.

 

I only downvoted to get you to an even 10 down votes. Otherwise I'm with you. What is Gwin riding?

Here is the YouTube video from the press release and quotes from Tegan and Fabien! 

We are really happy to welcome the young “Canadian Cowboy” Tegan Cruz to the UR Team. Tegan has shown speed during his junior years and we are ready to support him as he deserves for his first year elite in 2024. Tegan just got his DH NS Bikes Fuzz built up and went straight to shoot this video on the North Shore and as you’ll see for his first ride on the new bike and he already feels at home.

 

“Here it is! I am super fortunate to be joining NS bikes UR team. A team with a solid history at the top of the sport! Excited to join a great group of people. Lots to learn coming into my first year elite, I am fired up to get up to pace on the new bike and get to the races!” -Tegan Cruz

“Tegan is one of the most talented riders of his generation and we are excited to help Tegan reach his full potential. Last year luck was not always on his side with injury so I believe he has a lot more speed to show. Also It’s been only a couples of weeks we have worked together but it’s really nice to see such a appreciative and positive kid.“ - Fabien Cousinie, NS Bikes UR Team Owner

All the Nukeproof stuff is crazy, are any Nukeproof teams even going to exist next year? What's Sam Hill going to do? He seems content not racing and just being a moto dad at this point.

I thought I read Feb 1 is when the UCI posts the team lists? Is that correct?

bike on the ground looks like the old style forbiddens in the rear, dreadnought?

wouldn‘t he ride a supernought if he was on forbidden? maybe a loaner.

The dreadnought is such a capable bike, but it’s very difficult to make it playful on jumps so I can imagine if you gave it 50 more mils of travel it would never want to come off the ground.  I think a lot of forbidden free ride team will probably still stay on the dreadnought

Looking at the comments on his post it seems like the team is continuing, but I'm surprised given their financial troubles. Hopefully they sort everything out, because from everything I've seen online they seem like one of the nicest groups of people in the industry and they have a super cool brand image.

Gunnar Holmgren - was confirmed some time ago. I thought he'd end up on Trek, the same as his twin sisters.....
