All

wouldn't ride/rep a brands bike that owes me money too.

I kinda feel like elites is a clean slate for the juniors, they'll be whatever banana they are based off of their results after the first few races. Max or Till would be the talk of the town if they were instantly beating their older team mates to podium spots. I'm thinking now though that it's actually someone like Nathan Pontvianne that is going to Norco, young, fast and french. I can't see commencal in general never mind the team letting either Alran go just yet.

Ok probably not right take coming in but, what if it's maples to frameworks/Scott, Vergier to Norco with past mentor Minnar, and Vali to the Commencal Muc-off main team. I know Loris just signed it's unlikely but can't think of many other fast franchise outside Coulanges and Daprela and I don't see Norco grabbing either.

Judging by the old Blackbox suspension and that colorway, that is the last Canyon Moir had when he was on CFR, so not a new bike, see this post https://www.instagram.com/p/CietO0Gs4jp/?img_index=1 Will be interesting to see if he actual signs for them as a "free agent", especially seen as Canyon's marketing budget took a hit with lower sales etc..

Interesting about the Frenchie to Norco, as there were only two French juniors who consistently qualified in junior men's last year and that was the Alran bros. And I can't see either leaving Commencal (we saw Till training with Amaury last week anyways). And there were no consistent French female juniors last season either? Hmmmmmmm

Does anybody have infos of the release date for the new Cannondale? Regarding that the article on the other site was a couple of months ago and the frame looks almost production ready I'm getting impatient.

Danny also had a couple of moderate injuries that flew mostly under the radar this season. IIRC he broke a couple of ribs at one point. I'm a bit surprised his injuries didn't get talked about more.

Tippie in Peaty's man cave... Must mean Tippie to Santa Cruz.. https://www.instagram.com/p/DR-HyaajyxX/?img_index=1&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZ…

Barney is no longer the mechanic for pivot.

Can anyone provide an update on who is going where, what new teams have formed, or what teams (besides MOB ) fell apart. Kolb -> SC Holl -> Commencal Schwalbe O'Callaghan -> Trek ...

Anyone watch Danny’s latest vlog on YouTube? He’s riding a Norco but doesn’t mention anything about them like he has in previous vlogs. Doesn’t show any Norco branding either. We know he signed with Norco for 2 years but maybe there was some sort of buy out so Norco could find a younger rider who’s top 10. ? Never know until sometime in January or when teams start announcing their lineups publicly., Would love to still see him on a Norco though

Negative. Saddleback is the UK disti for TLD.

Chris and Wyn were both saying “Dak to Scott” on the latest Downtime pod.

For world cups Norco has Danny gracey Erice bodhi Lena. Who would be leaving ? Hasn’t it been confirmed Danny’s on another year.

Chromag have that new purple frame bike thats been doing the rounds on display in the shop, freeride bike not a dh bike they said, full aluminum crab link. Looks really nice, the name was blacked out, coming out sometime in the spring.

That’s an idea, perhaps bin the stock pads and put some galfer greens and unknown rotors to get the most out of the motives 🤔
