Can't be Danny, everyone knows he is riding a Nukeproof!
I haven't heard much about him lately. Someone said Raaw a while back? Maybe that's still possible but they are waiting for the V3 frames to show up and he is riding other bikes in the winter.
Wouldn't he be running the old Devincis then?
It would seem they are in fact, two.
Jill and Bryn on Pivot:
---------------------------------------------------
Pivot Cycles Welcomes Mountain Biking Icons Jill Kintner and Bryn Atkinson to the Family
Tempe, AZ: Pivot Cycles, a leading name in high-end mountain and gravel bikes, proudly announces the addition of two legendary cyclists, Jill Kintner and Bryn Atkinson, to their elite roster of athletes. Jill Kintner, a trailblazer in mountain biking, has excelled across six disciplines, earning accolades such as a BMX Bronze at the 2008 Olympics, three UCI 4X World Championships and 25 Elite USA National Championships. Beyond her athletic prowess, Jill's passion for design, reflected in custom Red Bull helmet graphics and full-scale van wraps, complements her fierce intensity on the bike.
Bryn Atkinson, a pivotal figure in the Aussie invasion that reshaped downhill racing, joins Pivot Cycles as a multifaceted talent. With multiple World Cup top tens, victories at prestigious events like the US Open, and the Pro Gravity Tour Series overall title, Bryn's smooth and powerful riding style has left an indelible mark on the sport. In addition to his racing achievements, Bryn has seamlessly transitioned into filmmaking and photography, contributing significantly to product development and testing for industry-leading brands. His dedication to advancing the sport makes him an invaluable asset to the Pivot Cycles family.
Chris Cocalis, Founder and CEO of Pivot Cycles, expressed his enthusiasm for the new additions, stating, "I’m super excited to have them on board. Jill and Bryn represent everything that is great about the sport of mountain biking. They are incredible athletes, but first and foremost awesome people. We are honored to have them join the Pivot family."
Jill off RedBull?
That pic is insane.
Must be, no helmet or hat which are Red Bull standard for photo ops.
I second guessed it, because the Pivot ad reads "custom Red Bull helmet graphics", but you're right. No helmet or hat tells me that she's off the silver and blue lids
Nice catch!
I wonder why, it's pretty unusual for folks to leave/not get renewed isn't it?
Can anyone confirm if today truly is UCI team announcement day? Ahm giitin' all jittery. PS, I would like to suggest we refer to this day, whenever it is, as: 'Listmas'.
I happen to be friends with one of the first Red Bull sponsored mountain bike athletes, at that time, you were considered a Red Bull Athlete for life. My friend still gets Redbull helmets to this day and she hasn't raced professionally for almost 20 years. I have no idea if she is still compensated or just considered a sponsored athlete. I think once there began to be a lot more RB athletes they went to the more traditional "contracts" with specified lengths and could be renewed. For example, I think Brook Macdonald just announced a few weeks ago that his RB contract was renewed.

That's awesome!
Gwin has no 2024 team listed.
New "BNC Racing" team with a load of privateer Brits - presumably a joint effort to form an elite team?
Important to note that this list from UCI is incomplete. Look up Frameworks for example, it is just Neko and Colin. Bex is still on Yeti as a rider. This is not unusual, the UCI list is often wrong. Either they didn't update it properly (likely) or some teams are not completely settled yet.
No Sam Hill on the list …….
or Katy Winton……
was this ever confirmed?
DIMITRI TORDO: COMMENCAL ENDURO PROJECT
we like dat sheet!
What is this?

If it's not an error, it might be a way for Kade to stay on the WC circuit should he want to do the odd race. Same frame/suspension sponsor?
Some changes for the Canyon Collective Enduro Team:
- Gloria Scarsi moves from the Pirelli team to the factory team
- Jack Menzies has moved from the (now finished) Polygon team onto Canyon
- Mr. Bomba has re-signed to Canyon, but onto the e-bike team. I'm sure he posted back in December that he was moving on, but the post has since been deleted...
Poppin in here this morning...
Y’all should listen to the Inside Line with the Union. It’s explained in there.
This was talked about in the inside line episode with steel city media’s Joe Bowman and the man the myth the legend, Spomer

If Danny's on Continental Nukeproof, we're in dire need of a knee analysis for this one ;-)
Good to hear, obviously I missed the official announcement..
Now we just need an announcement as to where World Cups can be streamed in Canada.
Pivot Factory shows all their riders as DH except for one EDR-E.
