All

i've deleted the non-relevant YT posts. start a new thread or take it to the bikeonomics (formerly known as companies shutting down in 12-24 months) to talk about the business/customer ramifications of YT's problems.

FWIW: Comparing the 2025 World Cup* seasons of Bruni and Goldstone, through the first 9 races. [*World Championships not included. Goldstone won that race and Bruni wrecked, finishing 49th. This race is excluded because it didn't affect the WC overall standings. If included, it would have changed the avg. finish to Bruni: 9.3 Goldstone: 7.2.]

replying to posts today regarding the MSA crankworx announcement Darren Kinnaird confirmed that Whistler is still on the calendar just finalizing dates.

From the boys at OTB podcast - Vali might turn up at North American races on a Commencal. Sounds like she may have already signed to Commencal Les Orres. Makes a ton of sense given Cecile & SRAM connections as well.

Or he’s 6th overall and letting everyone know he needs a contract for 2026.

Neon mud tampons are a "suggestion" at best come race day!!!!! Upside of Worlds is NOBODY is going back around a pole. No points. No series. #catchmeifyoucan

Thank you for posting this. Too many people are using a racing rumors thread to talk crap on Kerr. It's also pretty sexist and BS that people are talking crap on Jenna when she works incredibly hard at her craft and has the speed. Can we move on from this please?

GEARBOX DISCUSSION GOES HERE - The Belt Drive and Gearbox thread

teams can register by the 15th and announce whenever they want. in the past many teams have been announced by the UCI before the team releases the line up themselves.

Mille Johnset on an Intense at Prevost this week

"Firstly for teams, the 2026 registration for World Series team status will move from the end of January to November 15 the previous year. Instead of taking the ranking points of riders at the start of the race season, for 2026, the UCI will decide the eligible team for World Series status using the rankings of riders on the last Tuesday of October (in 2025)." It's coming.

Yeah. Their mum is Rebel Wilson and their dad was the volleyball in Castaway.

This is basically why V&R Racing exists. To help cover the travel costs for junior (women) WC racers. (We kept Taylor Ostgaard on for an extra year in Elite cuz she's just so frickin awesome.) We'd love to expand and help more racers, but for now, we'll stay focused and try to fill the need. We'd love to see more sponsors like us helping fill this gap. We'll throw a little teaser out since this is the rumors thread - our next sponsored rider races for Gravity Collective.
