All

Since I blew up the internet for a day with my Oisin going to Trek post a long while back. heres another... Greenland follows one team on his IG and thats Mondraker.

Specialized is slowly pulling out of the apparel game. From the rumblings I’ve heard, future design and production of clothing is done, but the stuff that is already made/in production will hit the market. Also, Maples will be on Pivot Factory Racing, not Frameworks nor any other Commencal team. Stamp it.

Jokes on you for listening to that shitty podcast

Thanks for all the love Vital! My goal is to continue a career that allows me to contribute to another 1000 pages of the tech rumour thread.

Browgate 2025. Where's the scientists from Frecklegate 2023 when we need them haha

Riders that need a team Dak - FW is dream, Scott would be good for the $ and support (most likely) - Norco would be good for the $ and support and he is great at bike dev. To Axess Nukeproof could be ok but not really. Dak to Crestline would be cool if he gets $ Yeti would be sick. Also Dak and FR to Intense on their own program. Loving life living out the camper van. Dylan Maples - to FW would be sick - Norco would get a good bump and chance to have a top 10...

Check your messages. Happy to answer any questions.

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

Team rumours rule 16.2E: An athlete using a bike during an offseason training ride shall not be strong indicator of sponsorship changes. If the bike is not from the category of the athlete's chosen discipline or if the athlete is travelling, it will not constitute a rumour. Team rumours rule 24.6B: The liking and following between brands on social media does not constitute a rumour.

This week on team rumors: IS AMAURY CHEATING ON MAX WITH THE BIG "S"? SHOULD PIVOT HR TALK TO BK? IS KATE COURTNEY'S NEW TRUCK RELIABLE? Now that I have your attention, do we think the other teams would even bother with the belt drive if they knew Rach was possibly returning aboard that Atherton belt drive prototype this season? I know the elite women's field has changed a lot since she was last in the mix. That said, I honestly think Rachel could win pushing a '99 Uzzi this season if that was her ride.

Fearon back on the tools in Aus as a tradey (electrician I think) at a guess I'm thinking still with Forbidden but just doing hardline/crankworks/whatever he wants. It's a sweet gig I reckon. Been a sparky in Aus can make you Loic dollars for a 40hour week.

For those playing along at home, here’s where we stand with the most ridiculous rumors so far… #3 - Phoebe Gale off FMD, going to Reece Wilson’s new AON team, after being prominently featured in the Orbea FMD press release. #2 - Aaron Gwin back to mentor the kids on lower budget Trek Factory after becoming a partner in Crestline bikes last year. #1 - Old man Dan Atherton returning to stomp $$$ DH podiums on a prototype belt drive after his most recent 57th at a 2018 Crankworx stop. There’s a few others close to the top 3, but...

Looks like a gamux if you ask me

Could someone post a summary of moves/confirmed rumours so far?
