Vali will sign for Trek. You heard it here first. Longterm partner of sram, been on a trek programme previously Trek dh haven’t had a race wining female for a while Trek changing sponsor on kit and other items into 2026

How dare you talk about vitals prodigal son like that! personally I think you’re a bit off in your take here, or maybe im off in my take, but I think frame works is the embodiment of home made hard work pays off.. and that’s Dak.

I quite like the idea of Laurie Greenland and Charlie Hatton on the same team, they have similar energies

Wouldn't it make sense for Frameworks to sign Dakota so he could help Asa settle into Elites and pass on some of his knowledge. Imagine how good It is for the Alran twins having Amaury and Vergier to train with

@sspomer can we close this thread since there is a 2026 Team Rumors thread, that already discusses the midseason team wobbles?

Listened to Wyntv from Vermont. Sounds like Gwin is all in for the WC next year. I bet Dak is joining the program for super team USA / Tennessee.

I feel you, but some hardtails are legitimately comfortable (when reframed as gravel bikes…) speci Fuse is stiff and sucks, epic hardtail is compliant and feels so good to ride. im telling you guys, the majority of the gravel segment has never tried a mtb (thinks they don’t need one, overbiked, etc.) or doesn’t even need a “gravel bike” (just needs a road bike with 38s and lower gearing.) the gravel category exists because people think road bikes can’t have 45c tires and also that mountain bikes are silly and unnecessary for singletrack. What we see in practice though is...

I think this just an artifact of Dak being the only Mondraker rider at the US Open. He probably doesn't mind racing the 'privateer' life for one event to be able to have his own personal van and dog with him for the remaining World Cup rounds. I'm sure he'll be back with the team in New York. I mean unless something really weird went down and even if he is ultimately leaving, he is under contract until the end of the year I would presume.

I know that today courses with alot of flow and huge jumps are the thing but I would love to see an all natural track come back. 2009 and 2010 Gravity East Series courses at Whiteface where winning pro time was 7+ minutes. Ask Neko how taxing these courses were! No machine work needed!

And, also, thanks guys for cleaning up someone else’s sloppy work!

Yo, also on the trail crew. Not really down to get into the mud with all of the environmental permitting stuff which is really above my dirt-shaping pay grade, but misinformation about the crew test riding our own course build is where I draw the line. We rode it last week on trail bikes and will be riding more this week. T>B

So mtn biking capital is like Surf City USA 🤣

North America's "Biking Capitals"

This is the funny thing about whiteface. It is owned and run by the state, so its simplify the state choosing to ignore another part of the state. It won't get canceled. Some people will be angry, maybe a lawsuit will get filed. The stuff on the open ski runs will get pushed flat again so they can groom and they will argue about it again next year.

gonna come around the corner with my conventional helmet and low-side on spent RLS helmet marbles I can just feel it
