There's no prototype rule in MTB. There's no resetting of the clock, the teams are free to run whatever they like

Finaly a good pic from that „GAMUX“ bike Taken from their new team vid

Take the Cody Kelley complaint club somewhere else, please.

Kudos to the people who made the "Jack to EWS" call early on. I though that was a bunch of BS

My guess is he took The spot Magnus Manson had last year with Canyon. Can anyone here breakdown exactly how that worked Magnus? I know it wasn't a full factory support sponsorship but he was at every race so...

Canyon didn't have much luck with their announcements. British Cycling leaked the Seagrave/FMD signing and now the UCI leaking the Moir signing. Perhaps they'll be a bit sharper with their announcements in future years

Top part of Fort William is defo tuckable. And maybe the motorway. But basically anywhere where there are marginal gains to pedalling, where the riders are or can get tired (length of Ft. William for example) or are going too fast to pedal.

Hahaha nice one! Good to see Mr. P.Enis in the news!

I knew I read it here on Vital & I know I can screw up a detail or 2 but I knew I read it today The team is proud to say we’re continuing with all the components and partners we were riding with in 2019. The team only says goodbye and a special thank you to Vallnord for his support over the last three years.

This is team rumors, not complain about boutique brands. Start a new thread.

I present you with Specialized gravity’s new team member Christopher GRICE with 10 mins of research I figured it out , straight to roots and rain checking americian champs as someone above mentioned he from America And funny enough he won American champs , checked spg’s insta story boom someone with two identical red wrist braces funny enough Christopher GRICE also runs two identical red wrist braces and will be 1st ur junior next year , you can thank me later

The deal with Specialized goes a lot deeper, since the two companies have a partnership around the Ohlins MTB product development which is why you see Ohlins shocks on Specialized bikes in retail. Specialized Factory Racing is an independent entity, they don’t happen to have a drivetrain sponsor which explains the blacked out cranks etc. In this context, it seems likely that the team gets bikes and suspension provided by Specialized, with suspension support from Ohlins, so it’s still not outright sponsorship in the classic sense of the word.

Checked it, apparently it's the exclusivity OEM deal that's behind it all, so clearly not the same as in motorsport. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/from-the-top-ohlins-racing-ceo-henrik-joh… "What is your approach to sponsorship? I had heard you don’t sponsor teams or riders in terms of money or product? We never sponsor anything I would say… Apart from maybe a charity. For our race teams, our racing partners, they would always pay the cost for the product and service they like to use. Then it’s not a profitable business, but we try to get back our cost. The idea is to have a plus and minus zero...

Öhlins never sponsors they only support athletes & teams that wanna run their suspension products,it's this way how Öhlins business model operates for over 40 years that professional athletes & teams are paying Öhlins ,Even a view years back when Dirt Magazine was at their HQ in Stockholm they don't want to talk about sponsorship.
