This is team rumors, not complain about boutique brands. Start a new thread.

Regarding Prokop: Rock Machine is Czech ”value” style brand, that offers a lot of bang (read: specs) for the buck. Basically generic Taiwanese frames with better parts than the big guys. Most Eastern European countries have such brands: Poland (Kross, Romet), Slovakia (CTM, Kelly's), Bulgaria (RAM, Cross, Drag, Pulse), Hungary (Magellan, Gepida), Czech Republic (Author, Rock Machine) etc. MSC is a Spanish brand that the Lacondeguy brothers raced for. They have also run the European Maxxis program back in the day and Fabien Barel raced for them, but also David Vasquez (the current UCI technical delegate for DH) Mickael Pascal...

Looks like Jack's riding the SRAM/Rockshox Commencal, so I don't think it would be Commencal 100%. But there is room on the 100% team and I couldn't imagine Moir joining Commencal Vallnord or Dorval

And Stephane Tempier on the trek XC squad

From Jack Moirs Instagram. Commencal, Commencal, Norco and another bike I can’t make out?

Brannigan joins Propain Factory Racing, here is the full announcement from Propain: We are over the moon here at Propain with our lineup for 2020: Henry Kerr is moving into his 4th season with the team and although his first year as an elite was no reflection on his impressive junior results when he took 2nd overall in the World Cup series and won the British series, we believe in Henry’s ability and know he is training hard to make it in the elite ranks. While Luke Williamson’s 2019 World Cup results didn’t reflect what he is capable of, now...

He got his best EWS result on the Rallon (Whistler 2019) so it's too bad Orbea let him go. I hope he gets another chance with a factory team.

No, Alex is saying that's how he feels about it, because he had very different conditions during his run, so in his mind he "stole" it. Which is a rough thing to carry around IMO, especially when he then went on to face quite a bit of bad luck/injuries etc. Wishing him well!
