Not a rumors and speculation but team dynamics.

Finn and Jordan having their best seasons in years whilst Loic is out. What does it mean?

On the Downtime Podcast, Chris Hall, Neko Mulally, and Olly Morris were speculating that Specialized can give just that little extra support. They only have so much budget to allocate, and when Loic is on the box every week, it makes sense to try and keep him there.  

Also, Jordan and Finn have both independently said that their mentality just sort of clicked this year. Finn finally got a strong training offseason this year after chronic pain in years previous. He then got the confidence to know he could do it. Jordan said he had some mental struggles previously, even starting to hate his career choice. He got too far into having a process and checking boxes for progress, and he said instead he really just needed to learn to love riding bikes fast again. He just started going out there to ride his bike and have fun, and that's what worked for him.

Eleonora Farina walks away from her spot on MS Racing to get back into the game on her own terms, taking some pressure off herself to try and find her form again. Good look Eleonora!

Is Danny Harts contract with Norco up at the end of the year?

How long is Orbeas deal with the Seagraves? I have a feeling Tahnee will retire if Myriam Nicole does as well.

I think tahnee has some years left.  She’s like 5-6 years younger than myriam.  She’s got time to cash some more checks traveling with her boyfriend.  Lots of women are choosing to have kids a bit later these days if that’s a pursuit of hers.

If Tahnee retires early, I won't be surprised. She seems to be dealing with concussion symptoms and rider are taking that more seriously than we've seen in decades past.. She can still uncork a race winning run, but at what cost? Still so much that is unknown when it comes to TBIs...

Brutal for Finn. This was his strongest position going into the break, was it not? 2nd overall with 3 to go? (in a season with the biggest names struggling or out)

Speshy went from how cool is it they are still winning to... How cool is it they still have a rider left in the series...

If you want to have more than one child past the age of 35 and any past 40 there is generally a good amount of effort involved to hedge your bets.  Over the age of 35 is technically a “geriatric pregnancy”.  However it is a route that is increasingly common especially for women with high end careers like tahnee.  There are also plenty of career women who have traditionally taken a break from their careers or effectively retired in their late 20s and early 30s to start a family.  Rachel was around tahnee’s current age when she hung it up to have a child.  (And at 35 won a race as the bad ass mom she is).  But now there are quite a lot who extend their careers while still planning to start a family.

I also certainly didn’t imply my comment was advice.

Got any stats on how weird it is to just start talking about this though? Unprompted discussion about prime baby-making conditions is not safe behavior in the big two-six, dude. 

(I suspect you don’t view your helpful numbers as unprompted. This is likely the core issue.)

Can talk about anything in the big two six without offending someone it seems.
