This is not to take away anything from Dunne, I think he's one of the top of the heap right now, especially in the long run, but he can be a bit ride or die, which has come through a few times this year with big results or none at all with crashes/smashes that caused DNF's or low placements, or podiums with 10-15th places otherwise, which is amazing don't get me wrong Dak on the other hand, even missing half the season because of the non race related accident and having to rebuild from not being able to train or...

Today's results plus everyone becoming a huge Dak fan over the last year following along with his recovery... Mondraker not resigning him would be brutal PR wise lol

Missing the pinkbike classic of "lady ridden" 😀

I wouldn’t want to bring it all the way back to Europe if I didn’t need to.

Slightly off topic, I wonder who Brett Tippie will ride for now YT has gone down the pan

Who had Minnaar for world champ in 21?

Does AON have the budget for someone like Vali? That doesn't seem likely..

Exactly. It was also an attempt to re-rail the team rumours thread.

I havent watched it but sometimes I imagine this is what the film "12 angry men" is like

from live uncaged to live unpaid…

Yt paid team fees to ESo or UCi to enter this year. It would be a nice gesture to give that money back to the Mob riders if they are owed portion of their contract. Riders definitely need a better union because these big bike companies have too much leverage and face no accountability. YT should be banned from world cups for 5 years

this is the way!

I completely agree with this. As much as I like my job, there's no way I'm paying to do it. I feel like YT could have gone about this differently. If I was a YT rider, I'd be doing what Oisin is doing, which I don't think it's hurting his future team chances.

Vali doing making a conscious effort to cover the YT logo with her hand in the interview.

Velocio was acquired by SRAM March 3rd, 2022. Vali has a long time sponsorship with SRAM. Velocio's history with SRAM goes back to 2015 when they shared sponsorship of the UCI pro cycling team Velocio-SRAM, and it continued until they approached SRAM to see if they wanted to buy the brand which they did so.

Just watched the video, apparently team manager Gunnar is paying a lot of things out of his pocket despite absolutely not having to, now that is dedication and what a legend of a man. But in the end he also says all of the riders contracts have been/will be terminated so they are/will be free agents

Looks like she’s pitting with Rock Shox and OC and Kolb are on their own. Oisin said in Wyn’s vid that the team guys are keeping it going without support from the brand

We don’t have a team supported by mdk or any team at all… I sincerely wish they would help certain Spanish rider who’s currently privateer and already made it through finals 3 times this year, much better than a lot other people with plenty of resources… someone give Dani a chance!!

vali‘s on her tues, but looks like in the rockshox pits.

Vali has had a number of personal sponsors, many of them for 5-10 years: Adidas Five Ten since 2016 Alpro since 2023 Ergon since 2016 GoPro since 2019 Mini since 2023 Oakley since 2018 Red Bull since 2018 Saalbach since 2018 SRAM since 2016 Rockshox since 2016 Sweet Protection since 2025 Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres sponsors: Commencal Schwalbe LesOrres Bike Park Rockshox SRAM MTB TLD Duke Racing Wheels Muc-off Northwave Renthal Cycle Products Time Tioga usa Fidlockbike Feed back sport Acros fasap training There are a few clashes notably Saalbach v LesOrres Bike Park, Saalbach being Vali’s home.
