Ok the sadness starts of no more world cups to watch. Where are the rumors to keep us busy until 2016 season? Bueller? Who are confirmed to be in contracts already? I heard Claudio during the commentating on Sunday mention that despite the rough season they are keeping Neko onboard Who is available for change?

If you want more info on what Lapierre appear to be using check out http://www.aim-sportline.com/eng/products-bike/evo4/index.htm Seems to be an automotive/motorcycle race telemetry system adapted for bikes. I hope http://picorico.io can bring the price and accessibility of telemetry technology to more people for bike specific applications. We still have a lot more work to do but look for a bunch of updates from us shortly.

This past weekend I formed a crew to enter the Hackaday hackathon. The plan was to create an open source telemetry system for our downhill bikes. It was an idea I had for a while but never got the time to focus on it. Well this weekend team picrico hunkered down for 20 straight hours and got some solid progress...

I know not a "big gun" but Commencal has yet to go carbon. I would assume they have big plans for later this season having home field advantage for World Champs. Will they be bold enough to try carbon or stick with the proven aluminum frame with minor tweaks?

I would not be surprised if some of the vendors were pushing the UCI to enforce this. It seems that teams have moved from homogenous frames and components to run whatever you want under a parent team brand. Not defending this shitty enforcement at all. Just stating there are likely financial motivations to UCI's decision. The new style probably bothers...
The bike is certainly durable. I know this cause I still race one =) . The chain guide mount was the first to go though. That chainguide was horrible and very loud. Never thought to grind the cable housings off by the knees. Looking at two deep holes in each of my knee pads it is probably a good thing to do.

I smell a trap! Maybe? Neko might not be the rider we are looking for. Could there be more subtle hints in the picture? Who is that sitting next to Ratboy that you can barely see in the window reflection? Or even better who is that taking the picture. Kind of looks like the side profile of Marc Beaumont? As...

No disrespect to the current riders on their teams but it seems like the big bike cos Giant,Trek?,Specialized? are dumping top talent this year to "downsize" their teams. In return the smaller teams have picked up some top talent. Insider knowledge that their smaller budgets will be able to achieve more this year without the big companies in the picture...
