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

in our pit bits vid, you can see YT (not sure if all or just some) in the forbidden pits. 10:04 mark

the riders are probably in the right to view the contracts as terminated for the reasons you stated, however they'd likely need lawyers to avoid any legal liability if they were to just walk away / sign with another team right now. the season is in its final 2 weeks with back to back races, and I'm sure the riders / their agents (if any) have neither the time / interest / funding to pick that fight right now. another likely factor would be how long they have left on their contract. the other aspect separate from any contract breach...

9/29/2025 6:07pm lol. Spomer just fanning the fires. Related but unrelated - why is the 2025 thread pinned but not this one? Surly we can move on.

Not that I don't believe you - but didn't she just get off Trek 2 years ago? Find it hard to believe she's going back.

9/29/2025 9:06am Yes. Contracts are bilateral - they hold both sides to the terms set out. YT failing to pay would almost certainly be a material breach of contact, terminating the agreement and freeing the riders from their oblations as defined in the contract. We've already seen Osin race in unbranded kit so at least one rider views their contract as terminated.

At least for this year the points are calculated at the end of October. So any rider on a team adds their entire years worth of points, which means mid season transfers count toward the new teams total.

9/26/2025 9:49pm If you're not getting paid then do you really want to keep working there? Entry fees, hotels, and maybe flights might have already been booked and paid for. I would assume they stay on the same kit/bikes because, well, they have been riding them all year, are well sorted, and "free". If they wanted to change them out it would...

I think this just an artifact of Dak being the only Mondraker rider at the US Open. He probably doesn't mind racing the 'privateer' life for one event to be able to have his own personal van and dog with him for the remaining World Cup rounds. I'm sure he'll be back with the team in New York. I mean unless something really weird went down and even if he is ultimately leaving, he is under contract until the end of the year I would presume.

9/26/2025 9:22am They never really "closed". Cyclepath PDX took over the spot and the brand from the get go. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJcCyM1J5lK/ The FTF brand has been retired (along with the founder of FTF and the reason for closing in the first place).

If you’re not getting paid by your employer (allegedly), then that’s also a breach of contract on their side…

9/22/2025 6:58pm Not so weird and I think you're totally on point. There is a 2026 registration deadline however which they might blow. Funny, this being an orderly German company restructuring it wouldn't surprise me if they had to set aside money to pay the team for the remainder season.

9/22/2025 2:29pm Ya, your point is the one I was circling around. The second part of this fever dream thought experiment is - Soooo... an interesting outcome would be: YT folds and declares it immediately, a riders signs to a new team "for the period starting at the moment announced for the dissolution" (and probably before the last race), they sign with...
