Is Carson Storch still without a ride?

Lew Buchanan to ENVE officially ------------------------------- Lew Buchanan Signs with ENVE Components as Wheel Sponsor Lewis Buchanan and ENVE Composites announced a new partnership for 2022, with ENVE providing wheels for Lew’s arsenal of bikes. Lew has spent over a decade racing both downhill and enduro, and has come into his own with captivating edits and POVs on social media. He’s a talented guy who isn’t afraid of a challenge - like riding an enduro bike in the hardest downhill race of the year, Red Bull Hardline. “Signing with ENVE has been a goal of mine for a while...

It's somewhat funny/ironic that Dak seems to be following Neko. What the over/under on him starting his own frame design in 2-3 years?

I Hope Dak will boost Gwin's pace this season. It could be a really successful team or another year of bike setup problems and excuses. Dak will get the first win. Come on m8

It's literally in the first sentence of the press release and mentioned again in the section about him...

Intense should just launch a bike already.

Gwin, Dak, Breeden and Sherlock = Intense Factory Racing 2022 https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/Gwin-Dakotah-Breeden-and-Sh… no specific sponsor details listed in PR, but "mostly staying the same" is the report.

One “team” that hasn’t been discussed anywhere is Cathro’s team that he’s putting together. Now, I don’t think that Oisin would be on if, as Ben said it’s going to be really an attempt to develop talent (more like the Union) than sign big names… but still. Curious where that goes.

Spotted that also and thought it was a bit strange. Brink did a shop ride with a load of people there and Jono was on the propain then and definitely wasn’t hiding it (that might have also been the same day that Matt posted the photo I referenced) Jono even joked that it wasn’t exactly hard to guess on his recent post…

Yes she is on the Gravity team and the contract is for three years

There’s going to be a 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇳🇿🇨🇦 team announced soon. Should finish up the top tier rumors with that announcement.

Dunno. Looks to be staying put.

So cool to see a few rider sponsorships being announced. Can we uh 👉👈 can we do Dak next? Please?

Gwin, Dak, Tuhoto, Sherlock? I'd be completely surprised but a guess....

He also alluded to some of the components they had to run affecting his results, just like Jack Moir said..... Kenda strikes again! He's on Maxxis on the new program.

He definitely straight up said, on the Downtime podcast, that he never got along with the Intense bike. So.. yeah.

A lot like the work world for us normies. Sometimes you are content in a role but building up the courage to move somewhere else could open you up to things you never thought possible. I don't read anything into it. I DO read a lot into Neko's plans though, I think he was butting heads with Jeff Steber on bike design.

Charlie Harrisson to commencal 100%

Lots of the pros talk about just wanting a change of "partner" and such to shake things up if they're feeling like they are in a rut. I don't think it really has much to do with clashing personalities or anything like that... I just think that, if you're a racer, you're looking for mental advantages where you can find them, and a change of environment can sometimes provide that. Of course, it can also backfire and end up hurting performance, but you've got to do what you feel is best at the time.
