In one of the last b practice Dak wouldn’t say what he is doing next year. I assume if it was mondraker it wouldn’t be a secret. But that’s just speculation on my part.

Dak off Mondraker seemed to be a speculation, especially with the YT riders looking for homes.. Dak and Pinky in the top 5 at MSA is great for both of them. Dak's US Open win is a comeback story that could be a Lifetime movie.. Pinky has been trending in the right direction lately.. Ronan is damn exciting to watch because you know he'll be pinned and it will be, in his words, helicopters or podiums.. Hopefully, the team just holds onto all 3 of them..

I don't see why Dak would move, unless he gets more money and better training conditions at another team. The bike is fast, the team is clearly working. Unless they are being underpaid, there isn't a lot better out there. Then again, maybe I'd take the pay cut to get of E13 rims.

This is not to take away anything from Dunne, I think he's one of the top of the heap right now, especially in the long run, but he can be a bit ride or die, which has come through a few times this year with big results or none at all with crashes/smashes that caused DNF's or low placements, or podiums with 10-15th places otherwise, which is amazing don't get me wrong Dak on the other hand, even missing half the season because of the non race related accident and having to rebuild from not being able to train or...

Today's results plus everyone becoming a huge Dak fan over the last year following along with his recovery... Mondraker not resigning him would be brutal PR wise lol

Dak's 4th today certainly helps his cause for next season...

Ed masters hinted that kolb is going to scott in his recap video today and sven said he's taking pics of him on a new bike tomorrow.

With the Commencal pits in the background 🤔😜

Dunne to Santa Cruz just for the wheel upgrade alone 🤣

Missing the pinkbike classic of "lady ridden" 😀

I wouldn’t want to bring it all the way back to Europe if I didn’t need to.

Vali wasting no time in ditching the YT gear!

shades of reeces flying scotsman crash angle... it's crazy you can watch riders fly by on the track, but boy howdy you only truly feel the sense of speed when they are coming RIGHT at you. wow BONUS: Dylan Maples practice crash from Laly's YT... gnarliest section of the series man

We have different definitions of "sportsmanship". If you don't understand why skipping the biggest podium in the sport matters, we just don't see eye to eye on this one. Which is okay.

Alright, Barstool style take here...feels like Bruni might be crashing out here (as the kids say). I totally get pulling out of a race after a big crash. But if you’re good enough to get to the top of the track and think about dropping in, its safe to presume you’re probably good enough to show up for awards. Hell, do a half-speed lap, wave to the crowd, shake Jackson’s hand...call it an (almost) victory lap. I know , easy for me to say from the couch, and sure, maybe something more serious was going on (delayed concussion symptoms). But...

Happy for Dak in 4th! He's been climbing up the results and clawing his way back from injury
