Just listened to the latest OTB . They have osin to Trek and apparently Trek wanted him to sign in the mid season transfer window but YT wouldn't release him which is pretty rubbish considering they can't or aren't paying him . Makes his own kit purchase protest pretty justified I reckon.

I honestly completely forgot about Matt Walker being on Trek, he had a very quiet season. Did he get injured?

Oisin to Trek was confirmed by 2 industry fellas on the weekend!

Rumours from Lake Placid that Greenland was spotted shopping and that Kolb might be going to Syndicate. Also sounds like the main rumour on Oisin right now is Trek? Maybe Dylan Maples to SCOTT if this is the case?

Does AON have the budget for someone like Vali? That doesn't seem likely..

On the broadcast during Oisin's run they said that he's got a deal inked with someone for next season already.

Shouldnt yt team rumours be in the team rumours thread? I confuse

This place really is one of the strangest “discussion” forums I’ve ever encountered. It’s like seven rigid dudes who really do not want to discuss much. Makes sense that after a couple decades of message boards the survivors include weird mutations, but damn! Very 80s Dad.

i came for the interesting conversations but i'm staying to see if fucking seth and butch start their own belligerent/snarky/iknowbetterthanyoudotcom forum

can't you just move such posts to a new thread instead of deleting?

i've deleted the non-relevant YT posts. start a new thread or take it to the bikeonomics (formerly known as companies shutting down in 12-24 months) to talk about the business/customer ramifications of YT's problems.

Riders absolutely not, but if someone buys the team, does he get to keep the points? Because there are a lot!

Why would you bring up the rumors your are upset get brought up?

I wonder if rogue racing is not continuing with him. Considering the success of the other riders, Thibault and his “rumors” may very well be a hinderance in getting sponsors. And rogue can probably get more points than thibault by hiring a up and coming or mid pack veteran female elite. Which seems unlikely if he is on the team. My guess this is his “hey I’m still available” post before msa. But It doesn’t seem like he’s changed his position of being totally innocent of any wrongdoing. And if that were the case I think it would come to...

not really any news in his post to be honest.

from live uncaged to live unpaid…

Yeah if you can’t honor your contracts you probably should be banned for a period of time. Nobody but yt is to blame for all of their problems. I tend to doubt Marcus will be in the position to relaunch the mob anytime soon anyways. But any league should try to get rid of sponsors who have proven to both been financially irresponsible and act in bad faith towards their riders.

Yt paid team fees to ESo or UCi to enter this year. It would be a nice gesture to give that money back to the Mob riders if they are owed portion of their contract. Riders definitely need a better union because these big bike companies have too much leverage and face no accountability. YT should be banned from world cups for 5 years

dude, they gave andi kolb a 4 year contract which didn’t even last 10 months!! it’s his first year on YT. and since we now know that YT wasn’t flush with cash for at least the last 2-3 years (thx to some forum members here). it‘s really shady to kinda trick him into signing when they‘ve been standing on weak legs financially for years!

I completely agree with this. As much as I like my job, there's no way I'm paying to do it. I feel like YT could have gone about this differently. If I was a YT rider, I'd be doing what Oisin is doing, which I don't think it's hurting his future team chances.
