Looks like he’s still got the monster bars on the new bike!

And here is the official google doc outline haha

Was sweatin’ a bit after I posted that screenshot and thought for sure there was no way it could be read. I should have known better 😂 Dak and Jess are officially on Scott DH Factory. We recorded a pod with Dak last week, you can listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts, and read the team press release here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/dakotah-norton-jess-blewitt-join-scot…

@DontWorryImAPilot thanks for the idea. We found Daks new kit and teammates.

I think that should come under Dream Rumours, rather than Team Rumours.

Jack Moir and Edbull Masters to WarnerBros micros instead of Ric McLaughlin and the other aussie

Oisin on Trek confirmed about 10 mins ago via his Insta

It'scott to be good

I don't think that he couldn't find a ride, although being an enduro racer doesn't help right now, but he straight up said that he's burned out. It's a grind for those guys.. Training, traveling, and racing pretty much is your life. Jack seems like he needs a mental reset. That being said, he'll be an awesome ambassador for any brand...

Jacks announcement took a few of us by surprise last night. It's sad that one of the best riders in the world, arguably the most charismatic too is unable to secure a ride for next year and in some ways, coerced into retirement. I hope he finds a role somewhere, he would be a fantastic "face" of a company. The content would be top level. Jack is majorly responsible for MTB in Australia spreading so far, his influence on youngsters and his personal approach to grassroots racing that I have seen first hand is commendable. He truly is one of...

Moi Moi calls it a career.

I know this is technically for the 2025 Race Talk thread, but we're a forward-looking bunch so we'll drop it in the current one instead. We're stoked to see what Frameworks does in 2026, use this 2025 season recap to whet your appetite for what's to come!

I hope he wins a World Cup DH

He clearly did not leave by choice. Hope Mondraker forever regrets letting him go. Really hope he finds a company that will provide him with a great bike that is already "finished" and not another team developing for years just to drop out when the Bike is finally done. But more than that I hope he gets Paid! and I really hope has a great season.

Unless Dak left Mondraker to find a bigger paycheck I don't see how Greenland ending up there makes sense. Nukeproof sure, Atherton doing kinda his own thing you bet, but the only way I see Mondraker trading one out for the other is if Dak left and they could pickup Greenland for less or the same money.

The Saint looks like something I'd want to ride, the XT not so much...

Are we talking wireless brakes dying or Hayes 9's on the 1st bleed in 15 years dying?
