Might have missed it but end of IFR in its current form seemingly confirmed by Todd Schmulik whom I believe was team manager the past couple years https://www.instagram.com/p/C1heuoKuF0V/?hl=en&img_index=1

Well it's January 1st here in Kangaroo Country.... spill the beans.

Long time lurker, but decided to finally sign up - as this post hits the mark. WDB Sports are running the MTB World Cup the same way many motorsport series are run; They win the tender off the governing body, and then they do everything; organise, promote, sell media rights, etc All the governing body does is make sure rules/ regs are adhered to.....

I Know its a bit offtopic but could someone tell me the story of Kade and the 100% / Fox helmet? Thanks

I think it was explained in the making up the numbers pod. Kade is an Red Bull athlete and therefore obliged to wear a red bull helmet in all competitions. 100% only provide a limited amount of red bull helmets to kade for the season. When he crashed in snowshoe, he totaled his last helmet and they could not provide a new one in time for the race. Jackson offered his Fox reb bull helmet as a replacement but 100% denied that. So he was not allowed to start because he didn't have the sponsor correct helmet.

Maybe a bit of a dead horse now, but Gwinny no longer tagging IFR.

I got the sense from the docu-series that they’ll still have a team and Ben is not racing to focus more on the team.

She is going to Norco with Greg.

Union to GT. Jack on the Numbers podcast said his team was working on GT as a frame sponsor but then it fell through. GT athletes also recently received an email about some new, exciting announcements coming up about new partnerships with athletes in Europe.

I agree with you, Greg puts a huge focus on the trust he puts in the people around him and the support they give creating a competitive environment that pushes him to 'that' level. The guy is a superstar but more than that he is just an all round lovely human with time for anyone. He deserves the structure and equipment for him to thrive!

Kathy is one of the nicest humans I was fortunate to meet on the World Cup circuit. Always smiling, always took the time to listen, regardless who you are. Genuinely nice. I strongly believe that people with a demeanour like hers are an important part of what makes our sport different, special and approachable, close to the fans. Just had to say that. Mx

Brook is off MS..... WOW, did not see this coming. By his personal IG post it seems as he is now without a team for 2024

damn, bruh. what about us 57 year old men that try to ride like we're still 18?? Anyhow, Greg seems to put a lot of importance on people he trusts to help keep a stable environment. I see him thriving on a team with he and an upcoming junior rider and his sponsors, kinda like Gwin.

Looks like Brook is also without a team for next year.

She's 65, pretty sure she is enjoying retirement in SoCal with the other sun baked grandmas dressing like they think they are still 18.

Sram drivetrain, fox suspension. Only brand I can think running that is atherton but doubt she's on atherton. Cube run raceface components and they are sram cranks. All cube bikes have raceface cranks

Would be good for Kathy Sessler to be Greg’s new team manager for 2024 , any idea what she is up to now?
