I did some science. Found him.

And also “we know he has the fitness” Thanks guy. Wasn’t aware that the riders in the World Cup finals had the fitness or capability to win a World Cup. Ben Cathro - also qualified to be an announcer. I don’t see why DH can’t be super popular. XC is total garbage to watch and so is road racing. This low speed repetitive grind and someone always goes off the front and there’s rarely a sprint for first(women’s XC is more interesting than men’s, with a deeper talent pool). DH is everything people love - high speed, crazy terrain, nutso...

I kinda feel like elites is a clean slate for the juniors, they'll be whatever banana they are based off of their results after the first few races. Max or Till would be the talk of the town if they were instantly beating their older team mates to podium spots. I'm thinking now though that it's actually someone like Nathan Pontvianne that is going to Norco, young, fast and french. I can't see commencal in general never mind the team letting either Alran go just yet.

Full list of rumors this year: Oisin to Trek Everyone else to Frameworks

I wish this stayed as a TEAM RUMORS thread, instead of who YT should have paid thread. Kick rocks.

I don't understand what you are getting at. YT made a financial commitment to those racers, those racers fulfilled their end of the agreement and Markus failed to pay them what he owed them. Whether you think a race team is a good investment or not, a business owner should pay their obligations. While it may be legal to not pay the team members it isn't ethical.

Nope

I've seen Hatton, Greenland, Breeden and Tahnee Seagrave in person today at Peaty's bike bonanza. Other than selling off some kit from last season it looks to me like Laurie and Charlie are staying put, as they were out there repping their respective teams.

live from Maribor… Vali is in an non-brandet Commencal with all her RS FA stuff

agree on that. What Tippie offers is unique - closest I can think of is Wyn Masters. He's gonna go to a ton of events, bro down with the people, probably be on the mic, and always be the biggest presence in the room, no matter what room he's in. Norco could use him.

ENOUGH BK-LIFE-CHOICES TALK IN HERE.

Look around and you’ll see where Spomer said leave this personal shit out of the forums.

Dylan Maples to Pivot, seen testing bike at Morzine..

Thanks Vital + Deity 🤙

Someone needs to talk to Reggie Miller about a team.
