European Cup 2025

Brage X Skog sykkel would be a legendary combo of Norwegian huck-yeah.

Danny landing at Norco Brage will do some sick viking shit like forge a bike out of fuckin Swords or something and put a set of Bombers on it. Hell yeah!

No, no, no. It's not your fault. Don't beat yourself up over it. It's your daughter's fault. Blame her!

hopefully Brage winds up with a good sponsor.

Why am I imagining this in Danny Harts voice ?

You know how rich dorks move into the cool neighborhood and then start complaining about the nightclub’s noise and the neighborhood starts sucking and becomes lame and they’re all looking around like what? That’s what this feels like. Union embodied the passion that truly drives the sport. Their whole thing was to help, not to earn. Pricing them out is not better for anyone.

Long live The Union. A fraction of the budget and a bigger stack of results than so many high-dollar teams out there. Their absence tells the story of things to come.

100% looks like Ellie with her Union helmet in the pics to confirm the rumors!

I would LOVE to see what he could do on a propper DH bike and a proper team setup. I always feel bad for him, he got so shafted in 2019.

Looks like Jolanda Neff on Cdale!

It's obviously not a surprise but when a company like Trek with a bike like the Slash to sell can't see the value in competing at the EDR it really hammers the point . Under normal circumstances Hattie would have her pick of teams , but at the moment ? Hope she finds something decent for next year .

new #USDH team! sure hope to see more! BGR Mondraker/Ohlins Team Announced Saint Charles, IA - BGR Mondraker/Ohlins is pleased to announce a two-rider team focusing on the Monster Energy Pro Downhill Series Championship. Downhill racers Kallie Stewart and Carson Morgan join team manager Clint Mongan for the team’s inaugural season in 2025. Kallie Stewart is fresh off a Monster Energy DH championship in the 15-16 Cat 1 girls class and will be making the jump to the Pro Class in 2025. “I’m really excited to have the best people and brands in my corner for this important part of...

Junior womens class is gonna be stacked in '25. And with the fast juniors moving up to elite, women's racing is going from strength to strength. Rumor wise seems most of those those junior women racers you mentioned will be on factory teams or close to it? Zierl - Cube Jensen - Gen S Frener - Norco Ostgaard - Canyon Factory Any others?

I think the thing that makes people suspicious of WBD and UCI is that WBD and UCI keep doing suspicious things (including well-documented meetings with certain team managers but not all team managers and forcing them into NDAs as tight as not revealing anything even to athletes on their own teams in order to be in those meetings).

OTB podcast just dropped an interview with Lachie Stevens-Mcnabb. No juicy team rumours but that kid has a good head on his shoulders. So many references to we or the team or The Union - obviously aware of the support and role of the team to get him to where he is.

I fear it's going to be a shitstorm when it comes to WBD allocating those wildcard spots. To my mind it should be teams ranked 15-20 (surely that's the fairest way?), but I doubt it will be that simple. I can see WBD jumping through a lot of hoops to get their preferred teams/riders in.

And in my opinion, this is the problem. It's going to come down to personal opinion & relationships & that's not a fair way to run a sport.
