All

Had no idea you lived under a bridge.

It's cool, love your coffee and donuts!

I've done some more extensive photo enhancement on that photo Jesse posted, and there's absolutely no argument as to where he's going. This is 120% concrete, congrats on the new ride Jesse!!!

Millie is another in a line of youth who hooked up with the Atherton Academy, showed enough potential to be brought to the races with the team, and ended up with a contract and potential career. I have little doubts if they really wanted to the Athertons can scrounge up the cash for Kolb. They may not be a major sponsor as a frame supplier but they are still continental's trade team, and major sponsors for trickstuff, endura, and a few other brands. I think it's just a question whether even top 5 guy's results really brings any needed credibility...

With Millie, I am not sure whether it was a budget thing behind leaving Atherton - her social media presence only ever seemed to pay a very limited acknowledgement of the team (compared to what you see from the rest of the team riders). Her Welsh presence was clearly more focused around the Seagraves (for obvious reasons at the time) and her riding seemed focused around what they were doing - in some ways giving more media focus to their brands rather than her own. Not sure (nor interested) if her relationship is still on with Kaos but the rare...

Listen to the first 15min of the new Making up the Numbers podcast and its stated as a "rumor" by Emily Siegenthaler. I'd think she would have a bit more insight than most people on here but def not confirmed. https://singletrackworld.com/2022/10/old-hand-and-young-buck-greg-minna… They also mention several other potential moves but pretty sure they have all been mentioned earlier in this thread.

With Flo Payet retiring there is likely a spot open on the Scott team.....time will tell.

GG to Trek would be Trek looking towards the future... As for Kate getting married, having a kid doesn't necessarily mean she would be done racing. Some time off, yes. She wouldn't be the first racer to come back after child birth..

I was dying reading it. Not sure what backwoods area they are from. Women are allowed to vote and drive in most places of the world of you didn’t know.

The Kate comment, straight out of the 19th century. jeeeeez

LOL. Sorry. complete brain f up. I was thinking "RedBull" not Trek. Will edit to save my embarassment

dude, where have you been the last couple of years??! :D as stated above emily betty is riding for canyon since 2021.

It would be super awkward if EB is still trying to be an asset to Trek since she rides for Canyon

I heard Cody Kelly's shampoo and conditioner requirements are killing the Specialized enduro team budget. Takes a lot of cash to keep those golden locks shiny. That combined with the American Dream's skin tight pants addiction, it is surprising they have anything left to pay the riders.

Charlie Murray wants to prove you wrong. Finished the season with 2 top 5s and only finished outside the top 15 at 1 race this year, and all that with a win in Trophy of Nations for NZ in his second year as a full time racer.

Isn't Charles Murray riding specialized? He had soem top tens this year and was with Eddy and Matt on team NZ winning Trophy of Nations.

Well, let's not discount Harriet Harnden's wins in women's elite EWS. But it has been a while since either of those brands had a win in the men's elite category.

everyone keeps putting PFP and Commencal together, but maybe the incentive was that all their DH riders wanted a better bike to train on, and there's actually demand for fun, short travel bikes.

wild shuffle in XCO mtb teams 2023 Vidaurre to Scott Colombo (BMC) rumored to Scott Pauline leaves BMC (maybe Ineos) Kross-Orlen will stop in 2023. Cink, Wawak, Litscher on the market Avancini leaves Cannondale KMC will ride Lapierre bikes after years with Orbea Sarrou and Sina leave Specialized (rumored to BMC) Decathlon-Rockrider wants Maxime Marotte

Edit; It seems Tredz (owned by Halfords) are now the sole UK distributor. Out of the frying pan...
