1/22/2024 6:59am Nudging 60, no plans yet. Not particularly fit relative to younger riders, but I'm still stoked to get out and ride (just bought my first DH bike last year). I guess when I'm too old to ride my MTB I'll probably get a gravel bike to stay fit and call it quits. I mostly ride solo, or guiding kids groups...

I am really hoping for a barrage of announcements of good hearted riders on good hearted teams. After all of the 'goodbye" posts, I just really want that.

Kathy is one of the nicest humans I was fortunate to meet on the World Cup circuit. Always smiling, always took the time to listen, regardless who you are. Genuinely nice. I strongly believe that people with a demeanour like hers are an important part of what makes our sport different, special and approachable, close to the fans. Just had to say that. Mx

While I agree they might not be the best brand of bike out there, WCDH overall winner Matt Walker and junior World Champion Jordan Williams might disagree with your opinion of what a rider can achieve on Saracen bikes.

Thanks for sharing your insightful opinions on the nationhood of Wales and Scotland, however I feel they're wasted on the Team Rumors forum. Have you considered a speaking tour of Wales and Scotland? That way you could re-educate the locals and correct their misunderstandings. I'm sure you'd receive a warm welcome.

I think it's doing Meg White a disservice to call her just an "influencer" - she's a legit racer with multiple national level wins. As for sponsoring influencer over athletes - remember, it's a marketing arrangement. The sponsor picks the people to support who will most likely move the needle in terms of sales. If racers don't want to lose marketing investment, they need to get better at being like Neko - a perfect blend of athlete and brand storyteller. The modern athlete in any sport is a brand. Its just that MTB is very, very slow to come to...
