Angel Suarez has fantastic technique and can hold some pretty insane pace. I think he's been on some higher-profile teams because people who know bike racing can see that this guy has potential. That said, his career in the elite field is entering its 10th season, and it hasn't been a smooth decade. Out of 59 Elite World Cup / World Champ registrations he has missed 19 to DNS/F/Q. First top-ten in his 4th season, and his first podium in his 8th season. Good riders to compare him to would be Mark Wallace and Benoit Coulanges, who each entered Elite...
Angel's 22 season was pretty damn good: 14, 10, 3, 16, 7, 60, 31 17th overall.... Id day that's bona fides enough to end up on a made at home bike...I guess I don't at all understand your comment. What are these great bikes he keeps landing on?
About the "hate": Wasn't the the forbidden engenier working for norco before and trying to design a short travel high pivot bike but got shut. So he swapped brands or released his own with forbidden. Cant remember. Was 2017 or 18.
Right at the bottom of the pic you can read in the pizza box "Galicia cali..." It's a quality certification from Galicia, the region in northern Spain where Angel is from. So you know! 🤣
Angels been posting old pics from Commencal too. A trail bike from another manufacturer would make sense if he will be riding Frameworks for dh. In some of Nekos instagram he had been riding a Jekyll recently. Is he trying to take over from Jesse as best team rumours thread pro-troll?
