He's a podium or crash rider , the question is can he turn it into more podium than crashes in the way that ronan has seemed to do recently. I think someone alluded to it already but my guess would be after their success this year a good offer has been floated to the team but it comes with the...

Missed the last 3 races I think with a pretty bad concussion. He'd qualified for finals for the previous couple of races after some bad luck in qualifying early on in the season . That whole Trek team has had an up and down year with injuries and crashes but also podiums .

Just listened to the latest OTB . They have osin to Trek and apparently Trek wanted him to sign in the mid season transfer window but YT wouldn't release him which is pretty rubbish considering they can't or aren't paying him . Makes his own kit purchase protest pretty justified I reckon.

I can see Vali on Commencal Les Orres but possibly on a deal that allows her to bring over some personal sponsors like helmets , clothing etc to bump up her wages .

If I was Markus Flossmann I'd be doing everything I could to look after the Mob riders and staff just from a public relations perspective. If he wants to rebuild the brand then being seen to have done the right thing could be a good start .

Tough scenario all round, the 3 riders that sound like they've already got something lined up will be good but it sounds like the staff have been screwed over as well . Not sure if anyone has mentioned Jack Moir yet ? On paper a great signing for any brand but it doesn't seem like there is too many options...

Had a big drive yesterday and caught up with a few post race podcasts. Sven Martin was saying that 2 mob riders had already signed contracts which was Vali and Oisin and the 3rd just about to which I assume was Kolb . Vali to commence les orres which she could be riding with at the next round but he...

Total guess but I'd be very surprised if it was just one year .

I don't know if Laurie Greenland's contract is up but I think people are assuming he might be let go as he's perceived to of been having a bad season which I'm not sure he has , or at least not as bad as the results might suggest. He had an old school podium at Leogang I think and has...

I wonder if Atherton could get Kolb to go back ? It's a formula that both parties know work .

Now we're cooking ! Vali to relaunch sunn chipie 😁

Yeah , I'd imagine the YT situation has a few team managers 2nd guessing their plans for next year .

Totally agree on him being a good ambassador for the sport and his sponsors and I wasn't referring to Dak when I was talking about top ten riders . A fit Dak is a podium guy and if your on the podium then you can win , but there are 10 other guys like that and probably another 5 next...

There might be a 15 percent reason why a Spanish company might be rethinking it's USA based business 😁 Daks a great rider and has made an impressive comeback but to play devil's advocate and assuming it's contract renewal time at Mondraker , Pinky looks like he could crack on and is still young and Dunne has won you 2...

I don't really follow road racing other than watching the Netflix TDF show but aren't those just name changes due to sponsorship changes , like how MS Mondraker became MS intense then MS zerode ? It's the same team just a different frame sponsorship. YT mob could be different as it's owned by YT as opposed to being a sponsor...

Maples on Frameworks is a fairly good guess I would think but I wonder how much Neko had spend to get Asa signed up for a another 3 years . Might be that he replace Angel suarez with Maples , Angel seems to be one of the unluckiest riders out there with injuries and just not quite getting the results...

I hope not . Reece Wilson is an exciting rider to watch and was finding some form before injury, Monika Hrastnik has had a podium and Hattie has shown she has the pace and probably just needs more racing experience to put it all together. I would guess that you wouldn't put the effort into staring something like that then...

I don't really have the first idea how this stuff works but I'd kind of assumed that YT would restructure their finances and then pretty much carry on as normal .But maybe the race team is having to be sacrificed to save the company, that set up must be a fairly big outlay when cash is at a minimum. Wyn...

Just listening to the OTB podcast . Rumor from them is that the YT truck got repossessed and the team won't have the funds to make the north American rounds . Pretty rubbish situation all round .

I get what you mean and it would be cool , but if I was in a position to choose from a few offers I'd be staying well away from anyone who was using YT as an example of how they'd want to run their program 😁 It's a shame as it's not the people who ride for the team...
