If Mitch is going to KHS, I hope that the paycheck is a good one..

Could be trolling but Anna Newkirk is dropping some supreme “Commencal” hints on Vali’s thank you Insta post.

looks like the new Troy Lee A3 could be announced soon, i like what i see

On the latest Pinkbike Podcast (Episode 37, @ 74min) Ben Cathro talks about his plans for next season. He plans to setup a small Privateer Team with 3 Riders, including himself as team manager and rider. This would be awesome, please make it happen!

Marzo is being pushed as the *Freeride* brand while Fox is staying the *Racing* brand. This is why you see the likes of Zink, Brandt, Boggs, the McCaul bros, Gully, Turpin etc. All switching to Marzocchi in the last year. Meanwhile all the racing teams have stayed with Fox.

Fox surely wants to promote both brands, but not as competing brands. Seems thier approach is to promote Fox for racing and Marzocchi for freeride.

That pretty much confirms Trek I reckon, with bontrager for shoes and 100% for goggles and kit

Santa Cruz website now. So I guess nomad is coming very soon. And the filename is "my21_hero_nomad3.jpg".

Nah, I think that is just for MX, when he rides moto on the off season he usually wears clothing brands different from hes bike sponsors. I seem to remember him wearing TLD or BELL helmet last off season...

Of all the big bike manufacturers out there, the biggest one seems to be awfully quiet. They probably have a very lopsided (in a good way) balance sheet at the moment but mum's the word on anything in terms of mtb programs or sponsorships. For both XC and DH, there hasn't been ANY news at all from Giant. No rider or bike rumors or new sponsorships or even backroom personnel changes.

Trek has a plenty good reputation in that regard. They have Tracy mosely as a uk/legacy ambassador and winton has not been getting great results. Rumor is trek is dropping a ton of cash to sign vali and I can only imagine Rachel’s bonuses are a big reason atherton bikes is possible. They also are paying neff a big paycheck. Winton should hopefully end up with a contract somewhere. Hopefully she gets back to form where she ends up. But pro sports is extremely competitive and there are a lot of talented girls out there looking for a contract.

Looking a bit closer on the ol' gram I kinda think that may just be a Zeb. They do a grey for that fork which that looks kinda bluegrey to me The plot thickens!

Could be going to Cube with Remy for a BC superteam.

Yeah I think it was last year (2019) that Yoann switched from the Commencal enduro team to being a SRAM athlete that rode commencal frames

Can Yoann's leaving Commencal be related to this? He was heavily Sram supported and I think was even sort of a development rider with them while riding Commencal. Maybe with that link drying up Yoann is staying with Sram and finding a different frame supplier?

A big name woman just left YT frames & I will let you guess the rest LOL.

Loris also of Shimano as well...

I find that frame hard to look at. I feel like I'm looking at a deformed version of a Nomad.
