Turning WC racing into a reality show is sadly best way to grow it.

Being a trend hater myself, Drive to Survive is exactly what killed my interest in F1. My brother's a fanboy now at least.

DTS made me want to check it out again.  I didn't watch the DTS until few years ago but it was a reminder it was a thing and then I found it was easy to watch again.  I checked out when it got harder to find on TV  in mid 2000s.

Can we take the race chat to either the 2027 race chat thread or the beyond gravity thread itself? These rumour threads have not been spécial for a few years.

Anyway, heres my bad chat: Bryceland commented on Pontviannes moto x post recently. I dont fully get an English canondale/pon athlète being at les gets. A santa cruz frame french team and Devinci (Québecois) rumours. On verra/ Lets see!

Thats what the Athertons did way back in the GT and Commencal days. They were kinda cringe, even for 2010

I mean... that is a full team spec on that Frameworks.  Plus looks like Fox helmet & gloves.  If that's not telling, I don't know what is.

Danny off Norco, but reads positive that he’s lining something up for next season. 

Making space on Norco for elite male?

Is the setup on the back of that V10 the same as what Andi Kolb is running?

Low key prolly tough sell when you can barely qualify.  At some point when you can’t be at the pointy end of the World Cup you don’t always keep all the sponsor's. Also a few top energy helmet guys have “tested” other bikes in black gear to not show who they are a few times.  Whistler wasn’t open before this post (assuming his contract was until this post) so he couldn’t be seen riding other bikes .

The guy on the V10 is Dan one of the owners of Burgtec. Hence the customer MX rear adapters

Gabe Fox is no longer managing the Canyon DH Team and has his feelers out for the next role on LinkedIn.

That’s actually crazy. 10 years with a very successful team. Seems like it wasn’t entirely his choice to leave…

So it sounds like Aletha leaving, Gabe leaving, and rumors of Troy leaving. I believe there was a rumor posted previously that the Canyon DH team was getting a bit haircut for 2027. Maybe that's what's playing out.

That’s insane! Wow. 
I have no inside knowledge, just a sportsfan, but Canyon is a pro ass team and if even two of those three leave it’s a massive fumble in my eyes. I saw them come through the woods at Snowshoe in a trio, elite men Brosnan Mark Wallace Kye Ahearn (iirc) and it was fucking rad: they were doing practice laps all uniformed up looking like a squad. It was legit, I loved it. Aletha Ostgaard is already a top contender and it seemed like the riders liked Gabe Fox…who are they bringing in, LeBron? 
Blowing it!

They discontinued their egravel bike last year too. Dipshits!

Kind of looks more like Elliott Smith which would make more sense since he's a junior in 2027 and Seppy will be Elite.

A shame about Gabe, the guys a legend. He's one of the rare background guys who are that guy that you know even though he's not a racer or team owner. He's always been front and center for his athletes at the finish line with Fabian. It would be great for him to end up back with a team on devinci maybe? Or maybe he and Troy will end up in the same place as they seem to have worked well together.
