All

I'll be dead before new saint drops.

Excuse my French, but could we fucking please stop calling bikes "analog", "acoustic", or -the worst I've heard- "bio"? Bikes are bikes. Ebikes are something else. Now get off my fucking lawn you punks!

Hoping Finn can return to form this year.

Except that RB sponsored the WC series from 2023 to 2025 with branded jumps, podium, arches on the tracks and start gate etc... I don't think there is much more too it that monster offered big dollars.

Scrap all the rest of the team rumours, this is the only one that matters. Need to get Gofundme together to buy the rights and launch the team.

I think Adidas being a title sponsor of the Norco team is pretty big news. They are a huge and well recognised brand, so it's a great thing for mountain biking.

Interesting team name for the Norco riders (no mention and adidas on the race division socials at the point of posting).

The Forbidden Izzo spotted in the wild today…

Kasper Woolley on MS Racing confirmed

Regarding Crestline---This all points to AG divesting from Crestline in terms of being an investor, OR possibly more likely, he's still invested but shifting to a completely silent partner. To the point he will actually ride Specialized E-bike while on Frameworks. Reasons being: -The "Team" e-bike sponsor is Specialized. Crestline is not under Aaron's list of personal sponsors. Which means he's going to be riding Specialized E-bikes. Or unbranded Crestlines, which is awkward either way. -Specialized hasn't seen Frameworks as a competitor to this point, but Crestline may be a bridge too far, so Gwin had to 'go dark' on...

I saw the wildest thing ever. I saw him testing the bike and there was a bald eagle following him the whole way each lap! It was incredible. Never seen anything like it. The American dream team growing

Just thinking aloud here. In the beginning of the little podcast, Gwin mentions Mikey (Delesalle?) flew down to test. So, can we expect more announcements/riders on the extended Frameworks family? Any juniors on Frameworks Racing, this year? Future Frameworks will (presumably) continue?

I'm not even from the USA and I'm stoked as hell for this!

Does that mean Gwin no longer has a stake in Crestline or that Crestline is no longer making DH bikes (acknowledging they were already super limited) and just focusing on e-bikes? Will Gwin be training on Specialized e-bikes?

Aaron Gwin on Frameworks is official. We have some cool pics from test camp and exclusive interviews with Gwin, Neko, and Aaron's mechanic, James McAllister here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/aaron-gwin-joins-frameworks-racing-tr… #USDH

Also looks like Crank Brothers wheels, previously they were using Reynolds.

Spy shots of the new Syncros DH cockpit for Dak!

@DontWorryImAPilot thanks for the idea. We found Daks new kit and teammates.

Looks like they are committing to a 'young' team with Ronan, Pinkerton and Clarke. Hopefully they work on getting a young up and coming female racer too

I think that should come under Dream Rumours, rather than Team Rumours.
