there are very few personalities in MTB racing really selling bikes... would you buy a bike just because this and that person is riding it? The women market is a bit underestimated... maybe not that many girls start to ride, but there is more potential of people who could start riding... for sure worm may not look like the top...
I have heard that: Emilie is on Pivot Noel is on the RRP team with Ghost (that was a rumor around the last world cup) Scott Gstaad come up with Brendan Neko
I have heard there was a press event somewhere in Europe, where a new team got announced... I have also heard from onsite the industry that the current TWR team roster splits up... curious about who will leave this program. I personally don't see Ragot on TWR... M.W. didn't care too much about women in the past...
KTM Motorsport is NOT connected with KTM bicycles... not at all. If there will be a team on KTM it will be a Austrian based team such as MS Mondraker... at least for developing a bike.
