Lemoine off canyon

May be it's nothing but I have seen here couple of rumors about Troy Brosnan. Currently the Canyon CLLCTV Factory Team is having their firs test session to prepare for 2024 in France and as I saw from Fabien Barel's stories, Troy is not with the team. May be he just didn't want to make the big trip to Europe before the holidays, but who know, may be he is off to somewhere else. He is still posting Canyon content tough. Let's keep speculating

I don't think people are hating on the coverage because it's trendy to do so. They (myself included) are hating on it because it's an objectively worse experience as a fan compared to the RB days. The commentary from Ric and Cedric is largely asinine. I realize there's a lot of time to fill, but was Ric paid per mention of the race venue? How many times did Cedric say, "he's not stopping the bike!" when someone was going well. Uh, okay, well it is a DH race, stopping the bike is antithetical to winning. Aaron Gwin was the only...

I will preface that none of these comments are directed at any specific people in this forum or others, these are my observations based on riding all year, vital, PB, etc. I think it became trendy to hate on the new DH coverage, don't get me wrong there were problems but I felt MSA coverage this year was much better than redbulltv's of MSA last year. I also think there is this weird idea that gained traction in which people are saying that the UCI are trying to kill downhill and things of that nature. I really don't think the...

agreed, but more money from subscription fees and team entry fees to UCI/WBD has made viewing more challenging and a lot of racers/team managers explained that last year provided a less valuable experience on site w/ pit space, access etc. to me those aren't benefits. we have not heard what the race-day product will actually look like next year (# of racers, format etc). if it's limited pro field (top 30 men and top 10 women only in finals), i won't subscribe. i love downhill racing, vital will continue to sink tens of thousands of dollars into having lawlor and...

similar to what @Fresh Bike Service, Inc. says, purely based on the countless anecdotal cases i've heard of people not tuning into 2023 live race footage, i'd be skeptical of live viewing numbers from 2023 matching 2022 and earlier. BUT neither red bull nor gcn/disco/wbd share those viewing stats, and maybe it's a USA-specific thing i'm hearing about. maybe the bulk of views come from other countries where people watched both seasons/platforms more equally. with that said, the "red bull years" can still be watched, free online. https://www.redbull.com/int-en/live/uci-mountain-bike-world-cup-2022-le… - this probably doesn't account for too many new views once the...

Since this is Team Rumours, heard from a friend who lives in Cali, who heard from a friend, that Norton and Pinkerton will be on Mondraker. I assume that is the new Mondraker factory team. As for Intense, Jeff said on the Vintage Downhill Podcast that they will be focussing on young North American talent, so I guess that they could maybe have an own factory team of juniors, but also be a frame sponsor on MS. I honestly hope for that and it would be a genius move, that could maximise their exposure, with these two fronts. A side...

Well shid

I finally opened an account because I finally found something interesting to share. Aluminum Atherton Prototype. Supposed to be there more budget friendly build. I think this was caught at the Dyfi Bike park

what does this mean for team rumors

Hey all, just wanna say this is my first ever post here. Been a reading the forum since after MSA this year. Some much good chatter 🙂 This recent confirmed news of Greg leaving Santa Cruz Syndicate is nuts. I really thought we’d see him 1 last year with SC then retire. And the rumours of him signing with Norco is bonkers. Norco is more of a lower budget factory team in my opinion but what do I know lol absolutely nothing. Norco just let go 2 riders, Jill and Bryn I think 🤔 so maybe that frees up enough...

dang! 4 of the same news post within a minute of each other. #teamRumorsSnipers absolutely nuts greg won't be on syndicate anymore.

Not only is the GOAT rumor nuts, but the rest of the MUTN podcast was fantastic. Thanks, @George Thompson and crew, I’m an even bigger fan of Kolb now!

i would have thought he'd be riding a Bronson

In my experience as a sponsored athlete, I found a surprising amount of sponsorship and financial support by being a familiar face at regional races, where I was able to consistently be at or near the top of the results sheet. By contrast, chasing the national series or the World Cup dream was EXPENSIVE (like 5-10x more expensive) and getting anything less than a podium at a national was effectively meaningless to sponsors. As a sponsored athlete, it's important to remember that your job is not to be fast or win races. Your job is to sell bike products. If...

I really hope that Dak and Pinky aren't going to Mondraker. No one has really seemed to kill it on their bikes in a while. I'm hoping that the MS Intense rumors are true for Dak. In his Downtime Podcast appearance, he kept talking about "consistency" being key to his success. If you listen closely, he's not talking about his own consistency (although that's part of it), but having consistency in bike and setup being necessary for his success. He also talked about being in a really solid, comfortable place moving into next season. That would indicate, to me, that...
