Racing is way cooler than selling bikes. It’s rarely the best financial decision.

Specialized Gravity have Rosa Marie Jensen on the team, she'll be a second year junior in 2026. It looked to me like the Specialized plan was to develop their elite women's talent with Yankova, instead of buying an already fast female. Sadly Yankova got injured and decided to retire, so now they want to bring Rosa to the top I assume. Maybe they will buy in an already estabhlised female, but I don't think there is many out there on the market? Or am I wrong?

Since we're talking about juniors and whatnot...does anyone have a stat of what percentage of junior men and women respectively make it in consistently upon transition to elite? Some interesting stuff I see from the 2021 class for example.. After Izabela stepped away from the sport earlier this year only Gracey is a real contender for the win in the elite category, with Phoebe able to get podiums. Jackson, Jordan, Lachie and Oisin are all on the sharp end, with occasional good results from Davis and Cappello this year. Rest are either gone or barely make it into finals. Which...

I put a new Gambler on order. I’m ready to give it a shot! (Not my bike, this was team bike at Lake Placid)

Maybe you could pay for it in two separate installments

I heard somewhere that Warner Bros, Discovery +, TNT was up for sale. I'm hoping a philanthopist buys them and makes the WC free to air!

Dak and Frieda create a team with Ari Bikes as frame sponsors. The "Give it the Ol Yeeh Haww" team.

Open a who is the biggest Dak fan and my dream team with Dak forum, please. lol. No rumors from anyone else? Aren't contracts due in early November?

The Vital MTB forum Law strikes again 😂. - "given sufficient time all threads descend into Tech Talk"

Great to hear! The new back end is actually being tested this week by new team riders in a secret location...This picture was taken last week at the Belgian Cycling Factory, this is Dale McMullen (Nukeproof Lead Engineer) and Steve Jamison (Nukeproof Product Manager) discussing the new back end with a new rider (you can just see his foot)!

Hi all, I'm the 'Gosling' being referenced in the Bikeradar article. I had meetings in Les gets with five teams, YT being one and I'll start by saying that Gunnar Franke (Team Manager) is one of the best guys in the pits running a great team with awesome riders and staff. However we (Nukeproof) don't have the budget to go from 'no team' to one of the best, and highest budget teams in the pits when today we are not even selling any bikes. I also feel that we are not the type of brand that wants or needs one...

Maples to Commencal Les Orres with Vali.

Maples issue is that you can’t have more than four elite male riders with the new rules. Pierron, vergier, alran twins will be the elite men.

Neko seems to be a massive Dak fan is my reasoning and they really get on. Maples is a top rider and I can see him staying on a commencal just not the main team.

About the only drawback on the FW for Dak would be the low BB would prevent him from running 50% sag...
