Its pretty common for early press photos to be on whatever bike they could get to them immediately, so its often the previous years stock-standard bike thats a size too small with a few minor parts that aren't sponsor-accurate. Then you'll slowly start seeing new content with the proper spec for the new year. It always seems to be way more manic to get riders their proper kit in time for the race season than it would appear from the outside.

Mr. Moi Moi , Kasper and Angel seem to be like the only ones left. Seems to be something going on with the Specialized Enduro team too since they haven't released their team roster yet. Saw somewhere that Transition is putting together a "Factory" team... That still has to be announced.

everyone knew. anyway "so so sad"

5Dev: "Our chainring sells for $150." Absolute Black: "Those are rookie numbers."

Vergier bent some in a crash. Most likely the change is because Rheeder is off Trek, and Trek isn't going to help Title out anymore.

Something interesting to note about the fort bill entries. Dante silva has moved up to be on the canyon cllctv team rather than canyon pirreli

Youve put more effort into that than I have done in my whole career.

So rad! Now what can you tell us about that new Smuggler, hmmm?

The actual question is: Why would a champion let YOU (- as in: the team he came up with) go? Especially if the combination of rider, bike and teammates works this well. This is obviously pure speculation, but I bet it comes down to money. RM isn't a big brand, they don't sell that many bikes in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they can afford to pay him a big salary. The ugly reality of it probably is that Jesse has been doing it long enough just for the love doing it. He's probably at a stage...

I can confirm that an australian enduro rider that used to race DH, a canadian enduro rider that recently left an american brand factory team, a german enduro rider that left a german brand after 9 years are ALL part of a new Factory team of a big German direct-to-consumer brand. They've been shooting and shuttling in Finale last week.

no it doesn't, actually. shimano dura-ace track gourp 7710 debuted in 1996 and has not had a single update since. there's no reason to replace it. just like saint works, best brakes in their line-up, ain't broke, don't fix it. sram is the reason things come out so fast now, they don't wait until a product is fully ready, they just release it, and update every 2 years. shimano just doesn't do that, they are a bit because of the competition, but i guaranty shimano would still have us on 11 speed and front derailleurs is sram didn't shake things...

Came here to say: “Lewis Buchanan rides hard” ”Lewis Buchanan bottoms out” “Lewis Buchanan riding POV” And so on and so forth.

did not have this on my team rumors bingo card

Union Crackhead Internationale

Pierron - Drappela - Coulanges

Annnnnd the Syndicate just crapped their pants....

I highly resemble that remark! How dare you Sir! And just you wait until page 60!

Pah to your reasonableness - if there was any reasonableness involved, do you really think this thread would be on page 59?

Jack Moir's been quiet lately

Thats a bummer i was hoping itd be SC. Hope theyre paying him buckets.
