So happy they are giving a young prospect Steve Peat a chance, kid has some serious potential!
Thread is huge so maybe late to the party but Camille Balanche was on Scott skis in her latest insta story.
Anna Newkirk confirmed to Frameworks. https://youtu.be/CctoL0aF2Js?si=hOvEqaHvwt_x8et7
Also it looks like they’re on TRP brakes and drivetrain.
That was Emilie Siegenthalers Story that she reposted. Doesn‘t mean anything at all 😁
Partner perks? Lol. Don’t see too many people choosing Scott skis if they are paying retail for them.
Asa still on the team too

You forget they are Swiss and Scott skis is not far from where they leave.
Hulseboch & Griffiths confirmed to Syndicate.

Is it just me or do Asa and Anna look like they could be brother and sister?
Oops. Sometimes embeds don't display properly on mobile for me.
Asa, Anna, Angel: Triple-A grade DH Team. Forget a draft, what if UCI teams were beef? Who’s on your wagyu dream team? #whatiftheywerebeef
I’ve been listening to his biography on audio book when walking the dog, he’s just signed full factory for GT in California after leaving Team MBUK so I’ve no idea what Santa Cruz are doing poaching him from there.

Millie Johnset teasing something new..
Malene Degn has just posted she will be riding Scott bikes in 2025, who would have thought 😅 (doesnt appear to be in factory team though)
Specialized and Benno Willeit parting ways. Surprising and doesn’t sound mutual. I wonder if the corporate leadership at specialized is starting to shift to hired teams (like specialized gravity) across the board? End of an era and I’m sure he will bring success to any team that picks him up.

She is teasing something ”Super” … is she on a Supernaught maybe
Reece Wilson posted an IG story wearing a leatt coat and what I believe to be Schwalbe tyres (and still on 6d helmets) - insight into what gamux could be running
Jakob Jewitt teasing something for tomorow on his instagram story. Shows the rear triangle of a bike but im not sure if thats meant to be a tease or just a random pic
Valentína Roa Sánchez from Transition Factory Racing to MS Intense? Sebastian Holguin to MS Intense and Juanfer Velez to Intense Factory Racing? If this is true that’s great for the Colombian young guns.
Intense factory Racing ….
Camille Balanche to Yeti/Fox Factory?
Sam was seen riding a specialized with Fox last month or maybe in November over in New Zealand, do people who post on here actually follow what’s been mentioned or seen already ?
Spotted that this post has been liked by Max Commencal as well…
Self promotion here, but we’ve just dropped a new episode with Ellie Hulsebosch on her joining the Syndicate, plus plenty of other topics! She’s super determined and clearly fast as hell, can’t wait to see what the future holds

sometimes possibly some of us may have a few too many weed edibles and forget what we just read
Kevin Miquel parts ways with Specialized
Few rumor things I picked up on recently.
No mention of Martin Whitely in the frameworks press release. Is he gone?
No thank you or good-bye from Canyon to FMD, only to Tahnee. Strange.
Most of the big teams (if not all) now have more than one women, that's cool. Norco even have three. I imagine more teams will do the same, given the new rules. Mille and Louise Ferguson on Intense? Where is Monika Hrastnik going?
Commencal will go from five WC DH teams to two?
Will Trek and Mondraker sign elite or junior females?
