All

Not related to the transition stuff above, but considering Martin Maes is following FMD on instagram and the only other teams he follows are his previous teams and brands, I think it's quite clear what is going to happen with Orbea and FMD after the Orbea shut down. Would be interesting to see how FMD does enduro stuff or combine into one team and do both enduro an DH, maybe a little like YT is doing already. Didn't think they'd go for a brand like Orbea though.

Abby Hogie you mean?!

that's my red website username :D giving the credits where it's due

they just went through the 40 pages of rumors here and sent it 🤣

not exactly "new" as this was the setup intended for the cancelled Nines earlier this year. She might just be riding her spare frames until the reveal of a new sponsor (if so)

Her parents probably don't want her to be BK's next girlfriend

From what I've seen, from a euro perspective the girls are going to have some tight competition amongst the first years. Both the Rosas (Zierl and Jensen) and Lina Frener. Add to that Aletha Ostgaard and there's four big contenders for a podium. I'll add Cassandra Peizerat in the mix, but well have to see if she stays racing DH (she's also a growing talent in the alpine skiing world) For the guys, Is Cohen Bundy a 2008 or '09? It's really sad to see Cash Shaleen out of action, he would have made quite an impact and we have...

Durango 2030! Start the momentum now.

cast bar is a giveaway too seeing as they seem to be the only team using them

Hart to Norco seems somewhat likely given the TRP stuff and fresh gold fork

Maybe it's been discussed already, but what are the requirements to be considered a team? Do all the rider need to be on the same frame sponsor? Do they need to share a minimum number of sponsors? (I.e. could Gwin and Neko be on the same "team" but ride different frames?

Loris is not mucking around, he’s got himself onto an absolutly dominant team for next year. Hopefully there’s no clash of the titans with the big personalities. After his stripes this year, next year should be a supreme one. All rumours.

The difference between the 2 is that Red Bull's events are private events, organised, produced & broadcast by them. They can invite whoever they want, no one can argue otherwise. WBD are organising World Cups on behalf of the UCI, the world governing body for competitive cycling events. They should be completely neutral & the only way to be free from bias/influence is to go off points for all teams. Personal opinion... I don't agree with handing control of the highest level of a sport to a TV production company to shape it how they want. I think I might've...

Or the current one maybe.

Norco will have a World Champ? Danny Hart seems - to me anyway - a great fit for that team.
