“ MoscoOne wrote: Katy couldnt fill in her forms properly.“ Making fun of a rider for having dyslexia, particularly when they have very recently addressed publicly that it’s a hard thing for them to be open about due to teasing and bullying, is just truly low behaviour and is not appropriate on this forum or anywhere else. If this is something you would do, or think is acceptable, please fuck off.

There’s no place for that attitude here, I suggest you quieten down or find positive things to say. Straight up, people are losing their livelihoods this year and they’re going to be in turmoil, put yourself in their shoes and be kind or keep your hate in that thick skull.

It would seem they are in fact, two.

Heard the main reason Dak signed with mondraker is cause they are making him a signature handlebar, with 65mm rise and a crossbar.

It's officially official - Dak has joined Mondraker Factory Racing. Video interview and podcast are live now. We recorded this last week, so we will have to cover #frecklegate in the next podcast haha

The admittedly unclear implication was that “we” derailed the thread and I neither endorsed unsanctioned trails nor demonized them. I just gave us a new place to argue about it. I am keenly aware of and sensitive to the potential for unsanctioned trails to impact legal access. I more took issue with the term eco-crimes and the idea that these trails cause any more meaningful damage than legal trails which seemed a bit extreme in the grand scheme of the late capitalist human shitshow. I will say that the original sin of American MTB occurred in a place where to...

Also, update on #frecklegate. He's playing hard to get.

Bulldog can't fool me. ENHANCE

Am I the only one who thinks waiting so long to announce this stuff has actually kind of taken the excitement out of it? I was pretty pumped after the new years but the excitement has kind of wore off now.

holy crap, you've all made this year's rumor season so freaking fun and hilarious. was hard to believe #cappucinoMachineGate could be topped but now #frecklegate has set a new bar. i'd be kinda scared if i was an athlete making team switches next year LOL

enhance.....

In a big turn of events, Dak turns to international hand modeling and quits racing to protect the valuable hands.

bro's recognizing peoples hands now.... this thread is getting so good and weird at the same time. When someone knows what someones toes looks like I'll bow out. Carry on.

I'd love to see him get back to the level he was at when he was team mates with Sam Hill.

Spotted EX MS Mondraker rider Mike Jones being handing a New 2024 Mondraker Summum at Dyfi Bike park last weekend. Seems to be riding with Bristol Based “Sterlands Cycle Service” riders who I know Mark Sterland the owner and Josh the Manager worked for MS Mondraker before. Apparently they're partnering up with Mondraker UK to develop a WC/National Team with Mike and another couple of riders Spotted in an Adam Brayton Vlog too!! Now this is something to get excited about. The King of the valleys is back!!!

hey all, please discuss site issues here so they can be seen - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/about-vital-mtb-support/vital-mtb-site-… - no need to fill up tech or team rumors threads. thanks for looking out with it, too!!!

Agreed. Canyon and Daprela did it right, IMO.

Just announce the team at once, not this long drawn out process over a week with one rider at a time.

Admittedly mostly stolen from Singletrack Mag, but here's what is still to be confirmed (from what I can remember) listed roughly in order of how strongly they are linked to a team/sponsor: David Trummer [Probably on MS Intense or equivalent team with Intense frames, all but confirmed] Angel Suarez leaves Primal Unno Project Race Team. [On Frameworks, all but confirmed] Ronan Dunne leaves Continental Nukeproof Factory Racing. [Probably on Mondraker, all but confirmed] Vali Holl leaves RockShox Trek Race Team. [Probably on YT] Ryan Pinkerton leave GT Factory Racing. [Probably on Mondraker] Dakota Norton leaves Intense Factory Racing. [Probably on...
