Heard from a little birdie that Forbidden has a couple riders lined up that will be announced soon, not exactly sure who but allegedly it will put them top 15 on points easily

Edit- IMHO It would make sense that at least one of which would probably be female as they're light on that front. Probably one to replace Brook as well.

Top 15? I'm trying to think of who is left...

I think they would need more than 1 new rider to get them into the top 15. Not many options left.

They have the opportunity to do something very funny by poaching Wallace from Giant.

Reece is going to pull double duty (and double salary!) riding WC and doing Freeride stuff. So sick.

So no TREK at UCI DH in 2025? I thought today was the last day to declare a team?

I did see that rumor, but I thought today was the last day ,UCI deadline for team registration? I have seen no official announcement from TFR.

Just saw a post from Ami Kenyon, I don’t believe she has a team lined up for 2025. Anyone have any insights? She’d have points wouldn’t she?

Looking at the top 22 teams in points from January, all the way down to Gwin racing, we've seen or have pretty legit rumours of "Here is our team that plans to be at all the WC races this year" from everyone but Gwin and Forbidden.

Are we about to have a few, oh shit math is hard moments?

Gwin to Forbidden?

teams can register by the 15th and announce whenever they want. in the past many teams have been announced by the UCI before the team releases the line up themselves.

That Trek team is stacked with future winners IMO. Sick to see the Union system working, sad to see it disbanded.

She didnt make any finals last year, so few points in the bag. Seing how tight things are I dont see any openings for her.

With how poorly things went last year and the rule changes for this year, I fully expected them to pull the plug. Curious if what I heard lines up but I am just stoked they are not walking away.

Well shit. You’re right. Didn’t see that. That sucks. He was ripping just a few years ago.

Where were we discussing race numbers? I’ve just seen an email with the Specialized numbers: 

Bruni #29

Iles #99

Williams #17

At this point Goldstone is missing a chance if he is not taking #11 as his number.

In their instagram comment responses Specialized gravity seem to be hinting that this is not a complete team and they may announce a woman after all. Thoughts?

Please explain. I don’t get it. 

It looks like Reece Wilson is #11.

As Izabela isn't mentioned in the Gen-S lineup, it might be her transitioning to the gravity team?

I would love to see Izabela joining the gravity team but I’m still not sure if she can train after that horrible car crash that she had.

On the subject of riders choosing numbers, kinda funny that Oisin o callaghan calls himself "Double O" but can't choose 00  because the list of numbers starts at 1

Well that sucks...

Mr. Iles chose the #99 because of Stevie Smith and his 1199 Points at that specific Crankworx season. That Number means a lot to canadians, especially to the people in the Sea to Sky Area around Whistler. As Jackson Goldstone is from Squamish, it kinda would make sense for him to pick #11, as that would bring the 1199 back to the Worldcup circuit.
