From PB-"I just found out about the allegations. And I have to say, I’m not shocked. There was always something about him that rubbed me the wrong way, even when he was seeing some success, I wasn’t stoked." You see this is the level of informed discourse we should aspire to on here.

get your popcorn as pinkbike got a little derailed thread on pompon article ; )

The adverse publicity just from the allegation may have been enough for them to let him go. I would have thought he would've been charged by now if the police (and the prosecution service) believed there was a case, seeing as this goes all the way back to last summer. From what I've seen he hasn't been, although I don't know if laws on confidentiality are different in France to the UK. I say this because a guy I know was falsely accused of rape, was charged and named by the press within a couple of weeks of the accusation...

Departs from 2 teams in 3 months. Now has "advisors and lawyers" to deal with the rumors surrounding the circumstances. I'll withhold judgment until more facts come out, but I'll be very surprised if Daprela comes out of this clean.

The Vojo article has been updated to include a response from Thibaut.. https://www.vojomag.com/news/thibaut-daprela-sexprime-on-a-clairement-e… Vojo managed today to get in direct contact with Thibaut Dapréla who spoke publicly about his double departure in just a few months, first from the Commençal team, then from Canyon CLLCTV.

Dam Ream Tumors, just when I thought I was out, you PULL me back in!!!

Thibaut is biting his tongue holding the truth back.

I edited it because I can't say for certain that that's the case, but if even I had heard the rumours (with no industry connections/insiders), I find it impossible to believe that someone like Barel wouldn't have. Even if he hadn't, someone in the team absolutely would have done, and again I find it hard to believe it wouldn't get raised. However, I don't find it impossible to believe that someone high up at Canyon could be unaware of these rumours, but then be unhappy if they found out their new marquee signing has a fairly big black cloud over...

I have some industry intel and the IG comments might not be far off. This could be a very dark day for the sport, let's hope more info on the reason for the split gets public. Being silent here only gives the rumors more weight and space to grow.

Gwinn and Dak on GT frames (Which will also be the hire bike at Windrock) and will be racing under the Windrock banner.

Has Kerr ever been to windrock? Maybe Dyfi is way better but thought windrock should be in the conversation for best dh park open in winter in northern hemisphere. Sorry not rumor 😳
