ALL WBD/WC DISCUSSIONS please post to the 2025 RACE TALK thread here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/2025-race-talk?page=9 this is team rumors.

There you go, Jesse dropping hints. Picking up a Wish.com sponsorship? Wishes he could spill the beans, but can't...because he's Forbidden to? "Your fun"....UR team with Funn components?

I am. And thank you! So happy to bring it home. Wish I could tell you all I know, but that would ruin your fun!

I'll eat a YT warranty frame if that's true (trick question, YT warranty frames don't exist!)

I can't wait for a Wilson vs Thirion woods section again.

May the rain gods come, Thirion will part the steep mud seas.

I think Specialized Gravity is managed by Loic's mechanic. Might be something related their budget. But I saw that Izabela was in US for the team camp with Loic, Finn and Chris. I think she has factory support but she is in the development team...

Calling it now, Thibaut Daprela comes out swinging to start 2022.

You make a good point, but I can't agree with you when you throw Orange in the mix on the same level as YT. When Martin built Global, Orange was already a respected name in downhill racing. Not with the accolades that Global was about to bring them, but Animal/Orange was a force to be reckoned with in the British scene and even on World Cup level and they were Minnaar's first real team. Robin Kitchin, Tim Ponting, Steve Geall and Adele Croxon were on that team. And then there was Royal Racing/Orange, with Rich Barlow and Neil Donoghue well...

I actually check classifieds regularly for a 240 that's a good candidate for a motor swap. My buddy's shop has done multiple 240 swaps with 2JZ engines. This is their latest one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wAW2aFHsaU I almost bought an AWD 70R this past weekend but it sold in like 20 minutes after getting listed..

Getting a car sponsorship would be so sick, but I got a chuckle out of him saying he's been "dreaming of driving Volvo since he was a kid" (more or less). Volvos when I was a kid:
