Aaron Gwin to Kubota. Heard it here first.

I miss the 'illustrations'.

remember years back that guy that leaked about 5 things that all come true, was it reamtumours or something like that. Danny Hart to cube, athertons to start a brand etc etc.... need that guy back.

The thing is you're not making it fun. As mentioned above....in the past reamtumors and this thread had drawings, cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. You're in fact adding nothing intellectual, insightful or entertaining. Child's play. But again, you know and we don't. You must sleep so good at night.

Perhaps the guy from FSA who handles MTB teams commenting that he knows may give you a clue... or maybe it doesn't...

kids these days have no patience and want everything NOW

Yeah, he indeed sold his house. With that and the truck he's renewing I'm thinking next year he will be stepping out of racing himself (or downscale a lot) to help his sons follow the MX dream...

It seems to me that there's a lack of proper journalism in mountain biking i.e. who's asking ESO, Discovery etc the difficult questions given what Discovery's investment was supposed to bring to EWS.

Knew they were buying it to remove choice. WB/ Discovery has stated elsewhere their intent for sports streaming is to make it a single BULK purchase of ALL sports related content. So basically...whatever single sport interests you & you want to watch, your only choice (the opposite of choice really) is to purchase their $79.99 sports package. They essentially force EVERYONE to pay $80 around the world b/c you can't pay to see your sport any other way. Shittiest, dirtiest thing ever.

Demanding wasn't the best word. I didn't mean it to say SHE was demanding a paid salary. I'm saying that signing a top 3 or top 5 (Yeti expectation) woman for the 2023 season would require a salary. I do think that her adding the performance thing is flaming Yeti a bit. Most riders are not re-signed or let go because the didn't reach performance expectations (be it results or social media) and you never hear/see riders posting that in their 'goodbye/contract termination posts'. It's a reality for all riders, but seeing them put it in a post, makes people...

I mean how could it NOT be AG? ...I'll check roots and rain but I'm pretty sure Gwin satisfies the conditions (elite men and "been on a podium"*) ! M.Whiteley is managing the team, talking long term, N.America, has a long successful relationship with Gwin, it's just too damn perfect. *the way he said that was perfectly understated..."been on a podium"...this dude RUMORS! Great podcast. Great guest: go listen to the Downtime eps with Whiteley from last year if you haven't, they were great. His WC1 / WC2 format sounds fantastic. Guaranteed TV time for the top 20 from the...

Polygon factory racing no longer, leaves more riders looking for rides for next year

You're dangling some seriously meaty sub-text sponsors. Now I'm hungry. It's seem that I insulted the woke mentality folks lurking in this thread by stating they're woke if they get offended by juvenile inuendo. And now...we've awoken their downvote button anger. They're probably furious that our comments don't disappear like on that woke site.

I think this theory makes sense if: -Gwin is injecting cash into Frameworks by buying 49% stake in it right now (probably for pennies). -The extra cash allows Frameworks to get bikes (trail & enduro bikes most importantly) into production within a year. -Gwin, as 49%, owner gets his portion of profits from the business until he sells his shares or is bought out. If Frameworks ends up being successful on the saturated market (questionable), Gwin would be setup for long term profits. Gwin is in the final portion of his career, but even in this market, he could still...
