Katy Winton. Not a peep from/about her.

Syndicate was my obvious guess (especially with the departure of Loris), [edit: plus with her longevity on YT, it would make sense, it seems like Syndicate is looking for riders for longer term commitments] Nukeproof / CRC runs SRAM & RS so it couldn't be them (her comment about staying with SRAM leads me to assume that team she's alluding to a team without them as a sponsor)

Cheers. Completely forget there are events going ahead with all the oddness right now around us all.

😅With this crowd it's looks taken on another planet from an European pov!

regarding the remaining riders and team-spots here are my predictions: vali höll -> trek frames with TLD/SRAM andi kolb -> mondraker (markus pekoll is/was his coach and is still pretty involved with MS mondraker) remi thierion -> syndicate (if they even choose to pick up a third rider)

An mtb website just posted a "likely" cancellation of the Olympics. Note that this came from an offhand comment by a government official picked up by Reuters and spun into much more than it should be. People involved in the Olympics still continue to get comms about it through email and are in constant contact with their colleagues in Tokyo. There are no gossip or even murmurs of a cancelation at all. Truth is, Japan won't need to announce anything until March. A notable fact as well is that no national sports federation has categorically stated that it will not...

Please stop talking about frigging tyre. Noone wants to be reading a debate about how specialised makes their tyres as everyone knows they suck.

"managing his own program" Ben Reid let's out a huge sigh of relief.

Run the cassette until it stops working. Shops that push people to buy a new cassette with every chain are crooks.

Call me crazy, but doesn't that frame SAY Trek on it? Or is that not Valli?

Who?

Vali will ride Trek frames in 2021

Yeah, safe bet. Maybe they are waiting for some contracts to be up next year.

So, is a new session coming? They definitely need an actual xl frame and their current design might need a revamp. An high pivot abp (split pivot) session could be nice. If it's coming, then when?
