With talk about Danny doing his own thing/team and Athertons buying a defunct company to start their own brand and Gwin basically investing in Intense, could we see someone setting up a team with non-frame-related sponsor (gear and outside sponsors) with a relatively big budget and get someone to design and build a bunch of one-off, proto style bikes and make dunno, a new frame specifically for each track or like Nico used to do it, designed around the world champs track?

I definitely think you are missing a bike... But solid review nonetheless, really enjoyed that! Although I think you went halfway on this.

This is great, love the new format, very informative and also very entertaining, If ever there is a plan to do new category, may i suggest testing the crop of new steel full sus bikes, this category i think is the hardest to get a demo thus would really benefit this review format. Can't wait for the next batch and racing coverage.
