None of you tech-sleuths can enhance/superzoom the fitment details scribbled on that rear axle, and backwards translate it into what frame it's for? You all got high Freckle-gate standards to live up to.

Loic posted this on his insta. Is he moving to Sellotape, 3M, Gorilla tape? Wild!

Only one brake rotor visible in bulldogs bike build post on Instagram, potential switch to unicycle team? What NZ based unicycle brands are there?

Registration fees for the first round at Coronet were $140 NZD. (About 79 Euro.) It is supposed to be limited to 50 Euro according to this.

The way they build bikes, they could literally have her a frame printed and bonded etc. in a couple of days. if/when she does race again, she’s not gonna be on anything other than a belt driven gearbox bike.

It's not quite the same, as knee and hip angles are different with different crank lengths. You can achieve the same final drive ratio with a long and short crank with different size chain rings, but they won't feel the same to use.

Chainring size-- solves the torque difference.

But how that is worded it just basically says if you are on a uci team you can’t become qualified to race thru the continental series but you are allowed to race them. It does not clarify who gets a qualification if those spots are taken by someone who is on a uci team or is already qualified on other grounds.

IIRC, BK didn't stop filming race runs to protest, ESO no longer allowed riders to film their race runs. BK did complain about it, rightfully so.

A bit of shameless promotion, but hopefully it's relevant. I just put out a podcast episode where me and Alan Milway chat through all the 2025 team moves (confirmed and rumoured). Hopefully it's an interesting watch/listen. https://youtu.be/Mu0JAhGceB8 or https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2025/ Clearly this forum gets a mention! Thanks to everyone here who keeps the rumour fire burning, I personally love it!

Might be wrong but there does not seem to be a blacked out derallieur hanger…

Zerode seems like a good guess. The frame profile is a decent match for that blacked-out blob. But what if it's not a downhill bike?

Many pages back there was some speculation that BK going to a race in Indonesia was to sign her. That seems like it is probably not happening. So it begs the question, what's up with Pivot? Maybe they get Bulldog but that doesn't put them high up in the rankings. Will they be racing?

Vergier to Commencal officially official.

New rumor I think? Milatul Khaqimah of Indonesia, with 420 pts (top ranked rider without a team in any category, except for Veronika Widmann) was put on Intense Factory in the spreadsheet by somebody. I looked into it, and she has very few followers on Instagram, and barely any from europe/north america. But... Joe Breeden, Lou Ferg, Mille Johnset, and Oscar Griffiths all follow her.

One page back. This thread moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (With apologies to Ferris)

I guess the hard part now is, when do they announce these per round wild card entry's? Planning to move a team around in the past seasons should have been happening last month I'm guessing once you had your contracts in place through the fall? Slotting in as a wild card in march or later I'm sure would jack up costs significantly to book closer to an event, unless the UCI will have accommodations set aside for wild card entry's. May is coming up fast. Interesting to see how everything's settling in points wise. Love the Aon team, great mix...
