She’s Parton ways with Canyon

Vali had really limited options i imagine. She will not leave SRAM/RS. So that means either she ran her own team or signed with Canyon, Trek or Commencal. Canyon have Marine and Aletha, Vali would not go back to Trek as she was vocal on not liking the bike and Commencal muc-off have Myriam and maybe just too many top tier riders to also add Vali? So the only option was Commencal Les Orres which is also run by her coaches. My hunch, as I said previously, is that Vali's personal salary from sponsors these past few years was probably...

You do know she's heavily pregnant just now, right?

Here’s the thing. People get hired into positions of power. They start thinking “I gotta do something!!!” The problem begins when “do something” turns into “change the thing”. The “something” they could do is at all costs protect the core identities that surround the current position. With all the current fuck-ups in business branding you’d think some lessons had been learned. Nope, they can’t help themselves. I actually appreciate that the logo on my 2025 Fox Factory DHX2 is exactly the same logo that was on the shock on my 1994 Cannondale Super-V 1000, and on my Fox Factory Twin-Clicker...

I look forward to Jesse having more time to dedicate to trolling all of us nerds. His former teammate Remi seems to be doing well over at quarter hp. Hope he's happy with whatever he ends up doing. He legitimately seems like one of the nicest guys in mtb racing.
