I doubt they will make a belt drive bike.
Have they gotten enough points for a team with only Charlie on it and the junior with none ?
If you think what rumors have done to Daprela is bad wait til you hear what Daprela did to that woman
Tried to link info on GT but I’m apparently a moron.
Go to bicycleretailer.com
there’s an article. Should explain things a bit better. I’ll say, it doesn’t look good

Some of this contradicts what Phil, Skills With claimed in his video. I wonder where the truth lies.
instead of gossiping about some riders relationships here are some actual team news:
team 31 (jenny rissved‘s squad) is off ibis cycles.
Camille still riding her V5 frame (no surprises here), no mention for Commençal buuuut
still tagging Fox, Michelin and Shimano. Anything to dig?
saracen farewell vid
Not a lot of teams running Michelin still. Scott is the only one I can think of with Fox / Shimano / Michelin.
Changes afoot at another team.
Did I miss something? Is Kolb off Atherton?
There have been pretty strong rumors that he's moving to YT, even though he's not technically finished his Atherton contract.
rumor was he would join the YT mob, but he has a contract for 2025 with atherton… we will see what happens in the new year
edit: hogfly beat me to it.
I know this isn't the conspiracy thread but I have a feeling that many brands are secretly happy with the new World Cup format. The big teams have less competition and the small ones might secretly be excited to be able to say "Oh Shucks, we will have to disband given these new constraints." I am sure that many people at these companies want to continue the team, but World Cup team budgets must have been feeling pressure in the last year or two. I wonder if brands were more on board with the changes to the format than they let on.
Tell me it isn't true!
If Daprela joins PFR and maybe even the rumours of Camille.... is that how BK will get his PFR world cup win?
There was heavy rumours at a rider camp last week of one of those 2 going to PFR.
Is Pivot itself in a position to side sponsor a factory rider but under PFR? - as i understand it currently, BK gets given a certain budget and they do their thing and whats left is his(has to give himself an income to live & he explained this in a podcast)
Tough times for Rocky Mountain… seeking creditors protection.
Being discussed here https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/will-more-companies-be-shutting-dow…
As far as 2025 Team Rumors go, I can't believe the Rocky enduro team will stay intact. Tough times for Remi, Lily, Emmett, et al.
Scott were riding Maxxis this season so that doesn't make a solid clue :

(still, Scott for BC and Camille would not be a bad guess)
Looks like Reece Wilson could be on a commencal. If his Instagram isn't just trolling.
The rider in his clip is completely covered so who can say, but he's already been trolling this forum so that could be what's going on again.
Pretty sure thats max rendall
All I can say is heck ya! (Insert dentist joke here).
Has to be trolling, its fun when the pros engage and play along with the rumors. When is Jesse Melamed going to be a free agent again? That was a fun offseason.
Huh, now I'm trying to think of which team was running Michelin and I can't think of any. The last big one was Nukeproof before they went poof.
Dorval Commencal, but unless they've done some wild switcharoo, we know that it's not them.
MS Intense runs Michelin
On hindsight, Jesse Melamed dodged a bullet by moving to Canyon 2 years ago.
All the best to the Rocky Mountain and GT riders, mechanics, and staff. I hope we see these bikes racing again in 2025.
I heard he’s Not far off being one in 2025
Surely theres some more enduro rumours ?
specialised having a change up with no ebike?
