I made the prediction earlier, but I wouldn't doubt that Ryder Lawrence ends up back on Intense after his time with HSC. "INTENSE will dedicate its racing support to US Domestic Race series, including the Monster Energy Pro Downhill Series, as well as US racers competing in select World Cups and Crankworx events." sounds pretty much exactly his program. Will be curious if Intense steps in as the frame sponsor for all of HSC racing, since they were all on YT previously and were a solid presence at the Monster Pro Series.

To be fair, Intense seemed it was going to pull out of the WC racing circuit after Gwin to focus on US racing, and it seems Breeden created the opportunity to continue. Given the pull out of the European market, it seems this is the right approach and strategy for them. I hope they make it through and with nice...

Who says this was all their decision? Joe Breeden started the new Factiry Team and got that worked out. Without him, I am sure they wouldn’t have had a new IFR. For the MS team, they were a frame supplier. Aside from EF’s surprise win, I would say it was a pretty lackluster year for that team (though Tuhoto represented...

I am sure they have heard about it but, for some reason, the site seems to have not acknowledged it to this point. Odd

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Sure but this account has over 2,500 followers and has MS Racing related posts dating back a long time. Seems to be the real deal. Could be trolling but seems I’d be surprised by this level of effort through this small Facebook group

Well, Markus Stoeckl liked my comment regarding the IFR announcement in the Intense Bike Owners Facebook group (he is a new member as of today)

Sure does. And almost sounds like more of a focus on younger US riders and/or a frame affiliation. One gets the feel big changes are afoot but there will still be some involvement in the racing scene.

Or, as someone mentioned earlier, is he up there visiting Race Face? I know Gwin is a money maker, but Fox has been a day one sponsor and I just couldn’t see that relationship ending. With E13 cutting back is Fox just doubling down and providing the finishing kit for their bikes now?

e13 cutting back could be a reason why Gwin was in Canada recently (as reported in this thread). Pure guess but makes sense if he needed to line up another component deal.

IDK, what I am picking up is he has many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany. We should take him very seriously and acquiesce to him throwing things that have nothing to do with rumors into a rumors thread. That said, I also don't think one should be banned for such a mistake.
