Cube is the only team that applied for a combined category team XC/DH. As they ranked 15 in XC, I assume they found their in for DH.

It must be true that cast is run by athletes and not by a competent marketing team. Just sad that those proceeds likely will not trickle back to those riders, but instead might need to invest in redoing all their branding if they don't want to run the risk of getting sued by the worlds biggest bicycle manufacturer. Cadex components...

Don't forget that aside the 5 seasonlong wildcards, they also hand out 8 wildcards to teams per each individual round. So we are talking 28 teams per worldcup race.

As Izabela isn't mentioned in the Gen-S lineup, it might be her transitioning to the gravity team?

In their instagram comment responses Specialized gravity seem to be hinting that this is not a complete team and they may announce a woman after all. Thoughts?

With Bikeyoke being a european company I don't think they are going to take the risk and work to create their own charging standard. It is mandatory for most small rechargable electronics, phones , tablets to use the USB-C standard to be allowed to sell in the EU market. It is a bit vague and less outlined when we talk...

Haha... different things. Hatherly is going to Jayco-Alula wich is owned by Greenedge Cycling, Giant just supplies the bikes. Where does the Jewitt rumour come from?

Yep, there are some smart moves that can be made here. It would also be beneficial for teams to ad more than just the minimum of 3 riders, as from now on the team scoring depends on the 4 highest ranking riders of each team ( category of rider doesn't matter) A team that would just bet on 1 heavy...

That's just how it goes into almost any industry. In the beginning it feels forced upon you, afterwards you get used to it, and after a while it feels like a pre-historic relic if you still spot one in the wild. Manual car crank windows worked fine for decades, and were a lot cheaper to replace than the motorized ones...

People talking about what Gwin might get paid on a "factory" team vs Gwin Racing are missing the point that Gwin Racing is exactly the same organisation as IFR was last year with Dak replaced with another younger, probably cheaper rider. He's been the team owner for a while. He's a good businessman and I'm sure he'll have some lucrative component and frame sponsorships lined up for the team to make sure it is well funded and he gets paid what he's worth. Intense is off the table. Not being IFR anymore confirms this. Frameworks is tiny and can't afford...
