Mate, I think you are confused. No one is arguing about the existence of a Mondraker team. MS team is switching from Mondraker to Intense frame sponsorship. David Trummer riding an M1 and all the Intense and MS social media posts back this up. Mondraker is starting a new factory team. Ronan and Pinky look pretty solid. Dak still posting riding his Intense DJ bike suggests he could end up on MS to replace Brook, but earlier rumours suggested he was going to Mondraker. We'll know soon enough.

Came here to share that and saw that somebody disregarded it as grandfather's contract and so on. I don't think that's just disrespectful, but it's also missing the point. The man is sponsored almost his whole adult life and complete professional career by the same brand and just enleghtend gis contract, all while the industry is in awe about stormy waters and dropped pros. Why is that? Because he is Hans? Because he knows the right people, has ties? I don't know, but he said himself in an interview (probably in an older podcast on this very site) that the...

Possibly, Mondraker has experimented with idlers on their old Summums. It's tricky to be definitive with the photo cropped the way it is eh. C'mon teams, just put us all out of our misery for gods sake, haha

I am going to shout Ronan on giant. After that post back on page 51 or so, people thought it was an Unno. Reece Wallace recently posted a bike check of a glory. Made me check out the new 24 reign. seat tube/clamp are similar to Dunnes pic. Cool if so, a gung ho brand (in the past). Maybe a good sign?

jsut because one rider follows another, or a team, doesnt mean they are changing teams. at the end of the day these are all riders following their buddies on social media. no different than the rest of us. we all shoudl stop worrying about who follows who when it comes to team rumors... unless there is an actual "can't wait to be on the team with you" i wouldnt look to far into a like or comment on someones post.

Except in the press release, Fabien says: "“It is a great opportunity for our factory team to welcome Thibaut with his young age next to experienced riders like Troy and Luca. I have been following Thibaut's progression for many years, and his passion to win and determination are unmatched. I believe we have an incredibly strong team for 2024, and I deeply look forward to the coming season." - Fabien Barel, Canyon CLLCTV Team Mentor."

In which case I'll bet that Commencal Muc-Off will shortly be announcing the arrival of two junior riders.

“It is a great opportunity for our factory team to welcome Thibaut with his young age next to experienced riders like Troy and Luca…" So much for the rumors of Troy going to the Syndicate.

First big piece of news today (but not the last... ;-) ): Ready for 2024 with new roster The SCOTT DH Factory welcomes Ethan Craik (GBR) and Gonçalo Bandeira (POR) as the latest additions to its roster for the 2024 DH race season. Nimes, France, Jan 4th. The SCOTT DH Factory adds no less than two talented riders to their ranks, recently signing young racers (20yo each), Ethan Craik and Gonçalo Bandeira, for the 2024 DH racing season and beyond. The two young men have a promising future in the sport given their highlights from last season. They will join...

I wonder if it's anyone. If they'd planned for that GM pension money to be back in the bank to sign the rest long term last year, they might just not have had the room in the budget.

To me, IFR posting on Norco would imply Seth Sherlock has signed with them. Canuck/Canuck
