It would be great to see Pagey back with the team 👍

I'm so happy to see NP back, one of your bikes inspired me to get into riding! I really want to see what's cooking with that rear end on the prototype Dissent too 🤔

Buying a company that made the pedals & front wheel that are still runnin' on my bike 3 seasons later. Good move.

Awesome to see Nukeproof rising from the ashes! Onya mate! Best of luck for 2026 and beyond.

Hi all, I'm the 'Gosling' being referenced in the Bikeradar article. I had meetings in Les gets with five teams, YT being one and I'll start by saying that Gunnar Franke (Team Manager) is one of the best guys in the pits running a great team with awesome riders and staff. However we (Nukeproof) don't have the budget to go from 'no team' to one of the best, and highest budget teams in the pits when today we are not even selling any bikes. I also feel that we are not the type of brand that wants or needs one...

The forum has spoken.. Dak truly has an international fan base of at least 1 person in many countries.. Your loss, Mondraker. You had a global star that represents the hard working people of the world and you dropped him.. So, besides a bike and sealant sponsor, we need to find Dak some outside the industry money.. I'm thinking he could bank with a good hair product care deal.. But, in all seriousness, I hope Dak finds a good deal for next season.

Redbull was less about being American.. and more about having the financial ability to support my dream. Ha.

As much as I am a Dak fan, I'll agree with you that missing half a season due to an off season, off the bike injury isn't a positive thing in the eyes of a sponsor. It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up on a US based team with a focus on the US series that seems to be moving in the right direction. As for injuries, I wonder what some of the injury clauses look like in these contacts?

I encourage you to have an opinion, I just think if you’re going to scrutinise the guy publicly you should atleast be accurate in your reasoning. I hope where ever he ends up it’s somewhere good, he is always the top of my list of guys I want to see win the race, intense would be a good outcome - he talks openly about how much he enjoyed that bike.

Holy shit. Healing vibes to Adolf. That was one of the worst slams I’ve seen in a long time. Praying he’s going to be alright.

Or, Norco. Team being managed by a legend that was the king of tinkering with frame adjustments until the day he retired. A team that has a F1 engineer. From and outsider perspective. I could see Norco being a good fit, logistically. - Team that supports outside of the box thinking for bike set up, and the money to do so. - Team that has $$ backing to support riders traveling abroad for long stints. -When Greg started managing Norco, he brought Cathy back in to help manage all the logistics and take care of the riders. Now, lets toss...

current mondraker is a factory team for at least 2 seasons! MS (Markus Stöckl) WAS mondraker (till 2023), then intense (2024) and is now zerode.

I was on board with the 'lets not pass judgement with no information' thing with Daprela... Until he made that post where he was like 'the internet needs to stop bullying me because "everything has been handled" Or whatever he said. Like... He worded it VERY specifically to never actually say 'i didnt do anything wrong' lol. The only thing he spoke definitively about is how the internet has to be nicer to him. At that point, even if completely innocent, he comes off like a whiny, entitled brat. To my knowledge he never went on the defensive of saying...

I’m sorry, but Daprela doesn’t ‘deserve’ anything. Racing at a World Cup level is a privilege not a right. It’s beyond just being fast, you also need to have certain aspects of professionalism and be enjoyable to be around. Regardless of what actually happened in the ‘incident’, his continued behavior in the aftermath is uncouth and any team should be hesitant for that alone.

Striped sleeve, as in National Champ? That's Pinky

I'm not proud of my country right now, but I am proud of Dak.

I root for Dak more than anyone in the field. Not because he is American. I like his story. Getting into the sport later in life. Grinding as a privateer. Coming from a humble background and a part of the world far from any DH trails. And then, sort of like Benoit, just improving year after year to the point that he was one slippery turn from winning the rainbow stripes. Now after a massive injury he got back to 4th place on 1.5 legs. Insane. I like his style too, sneaky smooth and smart racecraft. At MSA I thought...
