It would be crazy with the cost increases for WC teams, etc if Neko and little Frameworks could have signed and supported a rider like Suarez. Maybe Whiteley is working some "contract magic", or secured an outside sponsor. With Asa in Jrs, and Angel in elites there could be Frameworks podiums in both classes. That would be insane for a brand that has sold about 60 frames to date! Going to be an interesting year.

I don't get the downvotes for this, its team rumors, not team news, that's for Jan 1 and One Ghost is teasing some stuff until then to make people question stuff. If he just said everything, he'd stop getting the info to do so. These threads have been, in the past, for cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. Have fun with it and don't be so frickin serious, silly season on here used to actually be silly and everyone's making it out to be such a grind the last 2-3 seasons. Make some shit up and enjoy it. Give people some...

Sam’s sat with a smashed foot in a cast (that’s only recently been taken off) for the best part of half a year. That’s how I’d expect him to look. Hope the CRC / Nukeproof riders and staff get some things sorted out, it was a large umbrella that supported lots of people.

Seriously. The only thing lamer as a pro sport than e-edr is e-xc.

Anyone besides me think that the performance note in Bex's post is to imply that Yeti found a way to get out of her contract by essentially making something up? Like perhaps she had bonuses that she was entitled to or an automatic renewal of her contract if they didn't find fault in her. Pointing that part out makes it sound like she had to be fired for cause or her contract would auto renew so they just made it up because the standard wasn't specifically stated as a ranking # in the contract and Contract language was intentionally vague...

Top 3 overall. Podiums at multiple rounds. More social media presence. Who knows? They do. Brands expect a ROI, this is especially difficult in sport that increasingly less people watch or care about. She certainly won't alone in not having a ride in '24.

I mean how could it NOT be AG? ...I'll check roots and rain but I'm pretty sure Gwin satisfies the conditions (elite men and "been on a podium"*) ! M.Whiteley is managing the team, talking long term, N.America, has a long successful relationship with Gwin, it's just too damn perfect. *the way he said that was perfectly understated..."been on a podium"...this dude RUMORS! Great podcast. Great guest: go listen to the Downtime eps with Whiteley from last year if you haven't, they were great. His WC1 / WC2 format sounds fantastic. Guaranteed TV time for the top 20 from the...

Polygon factory racing no longer, leaves more riders looking for rides for next year

The Boomer World Tour. Because everyone else is too poor.

Since I did Trans Madeira two years ago and Trans Nomad this year... Please no. These races are an experience first and foremost, keep it the way it is. The fees have gotten insane (2650 eur for Stone King Rally...), but still, it's an experience. Of course you race there, but it's more about experiencing new locations, food, terrain and meeting people you otherwise would never meet.

In other Frameworks news, Neko confirmed, on the Downtime podcast, that Martin Whitely will be actually managing the Frameworks team this year (last year, he was more of a consultant with Neko managing).

Nah dude. It just isn't funny. Neither the original post or your response. Saying as much isn't being "woke", and the need to bring up being anti-"woke" every time the majority of reasonable people deem something inane is the most unintentionally ironic "snowflake" behavior. I know you don't want to be a snowflake. Back to rumors please. Kade to join Deathgrip on the ultimate free-racer squad.

Any comments relating to the sexual orientation of a rider in the Team rumor thread is just childish. Keep it on topic

Jack Moir has Brixton clothing, Knobby underwear and a local Toyota dealer as outside of the bike industry sponsors. Australian Telco Boost sponsors Caroline Buchanan, Sian A'hern, Ellie Smith, Duke Millington as well as the Canonball Festival at Thredbo. Boost are also the Telco sponsor of the Thredbo Resort all year round. They also sponsor a bunch of surfers, moto riders, skate, snow and wake boarders, musicians and a car race team. Australian underwear brand Knobby sponsor Caroline Buchanan, Sam Hill, Wyn Masters, Sian A'hern. Like Boost they also sponsor a bunch of surfers, moto riders, skate, snow and wake...

To be fair this was immediately underneath the quote from Pagey. **Editor's Note: this quote came from before the public revelations of financial woes at Nukeproof's parent company Signa. We've followed up with the team but were told that nothing can be said at this time.

Interesting... I wonder what Sean Leader is going to do, now. I can see Gwin really working on turning Windrock into even more of a development location for youngsters to get support and coaching in the sport.

Gwin now owner of Windrock.

i'm pretty blown away to have to say this to grown adults (i assume) in our forum, but every time someone trolls or says something you don't like, quoting it and explaining why it's lame/unsavory/kooky/political only makes the thing you dislike live on for days. in the history of the internet, has anyone ever changed their mind and said "you're right," after being challenged/critiqued/criticized/called out in a forum? not that i'm aware of. the garbage has been moderated for now. if you don't like something said here, use the thumbs down, move on, watch it die and it'll be forgotten...

Hopefully that maybe is soon
