Leaving the Union is a good thing, means they got picked up by a larger team and that’s the purpose of the Union team.

As a reference you could say this week is the pinnacle of cyclocross. Pretty much a solid week and half of racing. Spectators pay to attend the race unlike DH and the organizers want to the best riders there so the racers get appearance fees. The top riders like Pidcock, Van Aert and MVP get between 15 -20k euro per...

suggested thread to separate from Team Rumours. First up Redbull Hardline slated for July 15/16 in Wales. Will be interesting to see you enters being that its not at the end of the season now but 2 weeks before World Champs.

Neko and Asa are on Fox. I can’t see Alpinestars putting this out so late in the year if the rider was leaving in a few weeks. And don’t see Frameworks being a team that riders have different sponsors. From a sponsors perspective if you are going to sponsor a team you want the whole team, it’s a lot easier...

The GCN app and GCN+ streaming service were the dedicated app/service for watching bike racing. From the GCN closure announcement video it sounds like they were doing fine, and performing above WBD's expectations, but this is part of a much bigger push by WBD to consolidate their streaming services to save money/boost subscriptions. A quick reminder that WBD are something like $50bn in debt after their merger, and were losing over $1bn a quarter at points in 2023. The ease (or lack thereof) of people being able to watch bike racing wasn't any part of this decision.

Ronan was on Conti/Nukeproof so the team could continue with a different bike sponsor. Sam Hill was Nukeproof Factory so would be more effected.

Well then the team will fold. It’s SRAM’s program so if they leave there isn’t much of a team left.

One team flying under the radar with an open spot(s) is Rockshox - Trek. With Vali going to YT it’s either find a rider or two or fold the team. Can’t see them carrying on with just Tegan Cruz. Could see them going for Dak if he was leaving Intense. Plan B Ollie Davis and Ethan Craik?

Yes and we’ll never know the true numbers between RB and Disco so comparing YT view is the closesr we’ll get and why I prefaced that it was finals vs semis.

Crankworx must be loving this. Personally I think that any teams/riders that are on the fringe of qualifying should be considering doing more CX events. Comparing the YT numbers but given it’s finals vs semi finals the Crankworx views are quite a bit higher. If they were to add 2 more races they are only 1 behind World Cups. More...

I will preface that none of these comments are directed at any specific people in this forum or others, these are my observations based on riding all year, vital, PB, etc. I think it became trendy to hate on the new DH coverage, don't get me wrong there were problems but I felt MSA coverage this year was much better than redbulltv's of MSA last year. I also think there is this weird idea that gained traction in which people are saying that the UCI are trying to kill downhill and things of that nature. I really don't think the...

His last contract ran until 2022 with some good results. I doubt that he would only sign a one year deal after that for 2023.

Yeah I got sucked into Flo before and never again. I do like to watch all the cross races over the holiday season but Flo just used the local feed with Dutch announcers. No option to change to English.

Jan 1 is new contracts go into effect. Brands will spend the next few weeks/months to built content to announce the new athlete or team. UCI will release the official team rosters days before the brands are scheduled to make their announcement.
