I would imagine that the ‘goat’ outline is about the Capra model bike….. Capra (genus) ‘capra is a genus of mammals, the goats, comprising ten species, including the markhor and several species known as ibexes. The domestic goat (Capra hircus) ...

The Commencal Ride Addiction team has had the odd NZ rider on the team over the years so an antipodean rider isn't unheard of. Commencal Muc-Off has strong ties to Australia with DHaRCO as their clothing sponsor while Commencal's retail subsidiary is very strong in Sydney and having a local Australian rider on the team would only boost their presence...

Toby Price signature air brake. Would point to an Aussie. Olly Davis?

I would speculate that the European market generally responds better to marketing in the form of bike racing (whether it be world tour cycling, cyclocross, world cup XC, or world cup DH) compared to the North American market. As evidence of this, it seems like the overwhelming majority of non-endemic sponsors of various bike racing teams, or series, do not sell their product in North America or at least are based in Europe. Elite level bike racing is also increasingly easier to view in Europe compared to North America. If this speculation is correct, I think brands targeting the European...

I think he got better towards the end of the year. Cedric was the worst of the commenting IMO. Ric did a really good job a few years ago doing the EWS highlight videos. Seems like he is the guy in the booth moving forward so hopefully he keeps improving.

Oli Davies is off contract, fits the tall and lanky build and had a good season last year which would have raised his stocks.

Unless the organiser has extremally deep pockets and is happy to loose money I can't see anyone or a business willing to organise a breakaway series that competes with the World Cup series.

There are a few other examples: FMD Racing owned by Tony Seagrave and has moved from a few frame and component sponsors over the time Atherton's run their own show with Dan Brown managing the team. Starting on Commencal, moving sponsors and now their own bikes. UR Team Racing owned by Fab Cousinie has moved frame sponsors periodically. Union owned...

To be fair, in the road cycling world teams are talked about more the way that Bizutch is doing. The team is really built around the sport director, and even when a team's entire docket of title sponsors changes, it's not considered to be a folding or dissolution of a team. In the case that Gwin is still owning the team, employing the same staff, and carrying all of the same bank accounts, the team isn't really dissolving; it's just rebranding. Team Garmin-Chipotle was never really shut down; they lost their title sponsors and became Team EF-Education EasyPost, but the...

More like I finally have the option of a downhill bike so I want to see what all the hype is about. I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.

Correct, Maydena was asked to hold any bids for a World Cup (EDR, DHI or XC) off until the 2025 season. Traditionally Australian/NZ held a EDR/EWS every 2nd year. DH and XC World Cups are far and few between and as a test event before the year before a World Champs (Cairns x 2 and Canberra).

Very close to some of my points I've made before in this debate. Keeping the cozy UCI run, RBTV broadcast series was always going to reach a dead end of sorts (probably very soon). In terms of potential for outside sponsorship etc. While things were great for lots of "real" fans. It's clear that the ones who won't now tune in care more for their entertainment than they do the sport. Which is fine of course. But, you can't have the cake and it it and all that. More prize money for riders, more outside sponsors, more professionalism etc... have...

oddly enough, i just received a text from AT&T saying "don't forget that Max is already included with your wireless plan at no additional cost, download the Max app etc..." I had no idea. So for me, it should be similar to what I paid for GCN last year. I'll take it.
