Now it all makes sense!

Agreed

This is the kind of sleuthing the thread has been lacking for a while.

Definitely Jess with the long hair. Looks like her and Ethan Craik are testing at the same location from their Insta stories.

His right ear is too big

God I love you nerds...

Exposure Tweak Dante Silva?

Would love to see some off season follow cam footage of Dak riding Benoit’s wild ass loamers he builds.

Huge favor, but can you all screenshot and hard post instagram stuff instead of linking. Especially if it’s an instagram story? Some of us don’t have any Instagram and can’t view the links. Plus if it’s a story, it’ll be gone in 24hrs even if you can view it. Cheers mates!

yaaaah, Mister Norton has been liking Benoit's (Coulange) last few posts. They're team mates alright! (i'm such a nerd for digging this up).

Vali showing off the key team sponsors for 2026, Troy Lee, DT Swiss, Muc-Off and Renthal. Also showing us the shifter of a wireless DH groupset from Sram.

Clearly Dak. Conspicuously hiding his hands, avoiding #frecklegate 2.0. Second is... Dante Silva? The ears?

Scott just dropped a 24hr countdown to a team announcement with two silhouettes. One has long hair (Dak?) and one has short. https://www.instagram.com/stories/bikeonscott/3804164398135408512?utm_s…

In one of his follow up posts with Rudd, he said that championship winning year took all he had. Reminded me Nico Rosburg giving it all to beat Hamilton that he retired after. The cost is just super high at that level. A close friend played professional ball sports and when he retired I remember him lamenting, "i am just so tired of being told when to workout, what to eat, where to be." Most of us enjoy bikes (and sport) as an escape, at the top it's the opposite. If Jack can get some backing to continue on youtube...

Chimpy is a fucking legend. I just hope we get to see more Moi Moi TV either at world cups or in Aus (or hopefully both).

I like Dak but I think some vital users have a slightly biased view on him. Sick guy, love listening to him, still very fast. But I think it’s very healthy and appropriate for sports teams to sign new younger talent.
