Sorry ? A lack of results ? Dudes a top 20 rider if not top 10. I can name 30 riders who don’t deserve a ride over cole

Interesting IF true, good she values her brand/service/needs as a racer, but it's a gross overestimation of that value.

From a workload standpoint, it is far less work for a marketing person to support a team than individuals. 1 team manager orders parts or kit for the entire team which can cover 3-10+ riders. To work directly with 3-10 riders is a lot more challenging and time consuming. Though my experience from the brand side with this is all hard parts/components/frames rather than apparel which is a different kind of beast.

Danny Hart has been posting a few Hope deliveries and related items on his Instagram recently. Including one today. Running his own programme and getting support from Hope?

I disagree, I think sponsors are OK going after specific athletes and not the whole team these days. Less expensive, and they can be more picky. Unless you're a title sponsor for the team, it doesn't matter, you sponsor the rider. Like what they do in Motocross and Supercross. 2023 Honda HRC had riders on Alpinestars, O'Neal and Fly Racing.

recognize...that was an Alpine clip, not Unno...

Hart + Brayton: The Hopefuls

Who are you referring to here? Too hard to follow when you don’t quote the last post.

I hope that's true. Harrison seemed like he was just sick of being injured and "retired" out of frustration more than anything. He was always fast when healthy and fun to watch. Was Whiteley his agent as well?

Angel was on Unno last year (..?)

Mondraker confirmed MS is no longer running their frames on IG

I recall him saying that he liked it, how composed it was but he didn't find it to be faster anywhere so it seemed to him like it was un necessary. I wonder about course variety, sudden weather changes and more time to adapt as reasons why it would have been a good choice to go high pivot. Greg liked the traditional layout for pumping and cornering. Jackson said in very well put interview that it was a bit of a shock going away from the high pivot Trek but he got used to the V10 and liked the cornering...

Oh my, Cannondale is listed in their holdings under "Sport" instead of "Performance" [SC/Juliana/GT].

Yeah, that's what's rad about the YT setup. Vali can stay on RS/TLD, Osin and Sian can stay on Fox/TLD, Moir can stay on RS/Fox Head. Life is good.

The inventory from Signa USA (Nukeproof/Vitus) went to Planet Cyclery / Colorado Cyclist. They quietly put it on sale last week – 50% off on some models.

maybe they‘re selling everything off with massive discounts… that‘s the account of nukeproof bikes and not their racing team.

Did Matt Beer accidently spilled beans on the Other Site, or is he just guessing?

Vali will be running the show at yt now I imagine. Bringing in her own partners like Adidas and Troy Lee and keeping SRAM. yt will either keep the other sponsors the same for the current riders or they'll switch to Vali's preferred sponsors.
