I heard: -Ex-Lapierre Team now on Specialized -Gwin was asking so much money of Specialized he was kicked out, knocked at YT's door, was declined as well and probably signed with someone else for less money. Not sure on how reliable that is, but most of the stuff I was told by that source turned out to be true!

That's awesome news! I was right about Wyn and Brook to GT, though! Didn't know about Sam Dale!

What about the European Cup, isn't that exactly what he talks about, a series with similar tracks to the actual world cup to prepare and screen riders. He doesn't mention it at all, even though it consists mostly of current or former WC tracks.

I heard from someone involved with them, that YT is not ready to build a big DH team yet, but they are looking to do that next year. I doubt Gwin would go from Specialized to YT, let's be honest, that would be a huge downgrade. Their bikes might be great value, but that's not of interest for a professional...

That would be a downgrade, from a legend to this waste of alloy... I saw that thing in person, it looks just as fugly and fragile as in that picture.

Will be running a Banshee Legend for the 4th consecutive season for DH (2nd season on the same bike) and I'm about to sell my Banshee Spitfire V1 probably for a 2015 Giant Trance SX.

I heard YT had plans for a big team in 2017. Gwin probably thinks of most US citizens as his dudes.

That KTM rumour has been out for the last few seasons, I'm not sure about that! I heard that Canyon took over the Lapierre team as well, from a source inside the business (clothing) that I trust, but there's so many rumours out there right now that I'm not sure if even the insiders know what's what anymore! It's fun...

I'ld say the problem was just a lack of maintenance! My experience with Suntour is, that there's a huge difference in quality and the dampening isn't very good. Some of their forks feel nearly frictionless at first (some are just horrible out of the box) but on the trail they are quite slow and harsh. I had a Sektor for...

His family said to wait for them to do an official campaign, I think you should respect that!

Yeah they put some hours into those things, but with limited space, you can't expect to own the mountain. pretty shitty attitudes there. berrecloth is like the godfather of all this shit, he wants to use part of your line you freakin say "of course dude, enjoy!". WTF. give a guy a break. it's bad enough having to risk your life but to also have to beg someone for permission like COME ON.

I thought our sport was above this. Riders should be understanding and help new and injured riders. You should be able win on riding, not hogging prime real estate. I was always a big Graham A. fan, he lost one today. He was always seemed like a down to earth, fun loving rider - his winning race record - isn't his appeal. The Claw just says the right things - true ambassador of the sport. There should be a rule that last year's line is open for this year. The work last year was last year, not this year. This...

Big mountain riders are among some of the toughest and most badass dudes in the world...... Until they start building rampage lines and they turn into a bunch of 12 year old girls. Someone should get Aggy some syrup for his bitchcakes.

Why does it seem to be consensus, that Gee Atherton "doesn't have much left in him"? The guy isn't even 30, right? He is ultra consistent, super fit and mentally strong. He's already had seasons with lots of 4th and 5th places and came back winning the overall, so why would he be done?

How was I saying that? All I said was that they had a completely new platform out in no time and that it seems to work (from all I heard), I didn't even mention Barel's results. About that Enduro vs. DH discussion: Why do so many of you think that results in DH racing have anything to do with people...

Bruni to Canyon? He just got a working bike at Lapierre, the Canyon DH bike ist probably worse than his old Lapierre. On the other side, Canyon managed to build a capable Enduro bike in no time when Barel signed. Rude to Rocky seems a realistic senario, he was posting stuff about wishing to ride DH on his instagram all...
