All

Jordi would be stoked.

Also, did anyone see Aarons comment to Dak in his post. "Will miss you brotha" Uh... Aaron trolling? Or they are splitting ways?

It's a......Cube 215.

reading is hard. my name is right under the homepage post.

if intense factory racing isn't intense factory racing because intense isn't a sponsor, that means intense factory racing is shutdown/dissolved/whatever you want to call it. even if there is a team w/ the same management/players, it won't be called intense factory racing therefore intense factory racing ceases to exist, right?

No we wont! GB and Andorra, plus other countries are in the landmass that is Europe where these rounds are held. The EU is a collection of countries within Europe that are part of a political and economical union. They are European rounds, not EU rounds.

Tbh I'm disappointed you haven't made a coffee with a dual crown in the reflection to troll us all 😅

This guy seems like he has some inside industry knowledge 🤔

More like I finally have the option of a downhill bike so I want to see what all the hype is about. I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.

I wonder how exactly the uncaged setup works because there’s no way Jack Moir isn’t getting paid to run sram. I wonder if they just use it as an excuse to pay riders less because they’re “free” to pursue personal deals?

Precisely. I think a very, very smart move for Forbidden. She’s got a very strong following on the U.K. Instagram/YouTube bike scene (if you’re into that sort of thing). She posts regularly, engagement is high and she comes across as very friendly and approachable. All great attributes for a brand ambassador and it won’t be costing Forbidden much more than a couple of ‘free’ frames a year. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I’m all for paying racers good money but if all you sponsor are racers you’re missing out on a huge portion of the riding market. Most of riders don’t care that much about racing.

Everyone off IFR. IFR is no more.

This no new bikes notion is false, but more of a discussion for the Tech Rumours thread than this one. Norco did end its XC race team in 2023, they had rising stars, or at least contenders, in Gwen Gibson and Carter Woods and just let it die...

What are you on about? Danny is pretty active on social media and has great engagement with his posts, 230k instagram followers and 70k subscibers (50k more than Troy Brosnan btw) on his youtube which he posts good videos on about once a month. Of the top dogs hes for sure one of the more visible outside of racing...

That's Hannah Bergemann

Nah its a Pivot.

But notice how Emilie has been MIA for quite a while now? She missed half the season this year. I know Cami got hurt at Andorra, but ever since Emilie has not been present at the Pivot camp. Whereas before she was there very round, even after MSA in 2022 when Cam wrecked her collarbone. Maybe there was a falling out after Bernie started dating his 19yo employee?
