11/14/2020 1:42am He’s maybe not feeling as though he’s at a disadvantage by being on FOX, but perhaps he’s ridden other french bikes on sram and prefers it, maybe he prefers Bruni’s Ohlins who knows. But perhaps now he’s really one of the top riders he has more choice. When he went to the Santa Cruz there we’re already a lot of...

11/13/2020 10:44am Maybe not having to compete for the attention of Jordi has its advantages, He can surly only see so many riders on a race weekend? If rider A feels like Jordi is spending more time with rider B on a race weekend does it get into rider A’s head? Just because Jordi is so well known. Whereas and I’m sure...

What if Loris is actually not very stoked on Fox, seeing his frenchie buddies kill it on RS and Öhlins. While we're all stuck on Fox, Loris, Jordie, dialled, etc... I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if he was to seek out a team with a different suspension sponsor.

Therefore why Devinci again? Or if it's a resigning or anything like that, where is Jure? As for Loris, it might as well just be psychological, bouncing ideas off someone you trust. Which is what Jordi has hinted at quite a few times. And World cup level and knowing what the knobs do, do you think motorsports guys do that? That has gotten to such a high level engineers set up the cars through simulations (numerical) and simulator running with only minute adjustments at the track, with the drivers often being pushed towards the 'ideal' setup because of multiple reasons...

11/13/2020 8:45am A lot of the French are on sram, so maybe loris wouldn’t be bothered. SRAM have been doing pretty well recently in terms of wins on their stuff too. Does Loic still ride sram drivetrain. I think with Trek and specialized are about as big as they come and they get pretty much what they want. Trek went full sram...

I get some of them don't want to change components (case in point Moir, Gwin running FOX suspension with Specialized, when the team was on Rock Shox), but I don't see the point in comments saying 'he's running X components and Y clothing when the new team doesn't, so he won't change. It's exactly the same with the frames, frames are just a component after all. As for components, I'd like to hear how much say the riders have in it, but I'm not really sure there is much say, maybe when there are competing offers on the table by...

11/13/2020 6:35am Am I being naive, but why would suspension sponsors and clothing sponsors stop riders signing new contracts? Loads of riders each year change teams that use different brands, I get riders like jack Moir was pretty unhappy with the kit that intense used when Gwin came in (I seem to remember ready he was glad to be back on R/S...

11/4/2020 3:03am Fair one. That’s a good point. You would think soon though we’re gonna see a Atherton racing team without an Atherton racing on it. I wonder how it will go, weather they will be able to compete for top riders with top teams.

The funding period will be well over by then (in fact I think it's already funded). So I guess it depends on whether some of the money was meant to be for a top rider, or as they stated themselves it was for the in-house equipment needed to start production-proper. Personally, I don't think we'll see them sign anyone big this coming year. I think they have enough outgoings as it is and they'll see this as a long-term project with a slow-build. The way Rachel is talking, she's gutted to miss these races, so hopefully no retirement plans and...

11/4/2020 2:30am 😂😂😂 mate apologies for misusing terminology, I’m not an investment banker, and this is a team rumours thread. I don’t care what the technical terminology is or the in’s and outs. They are asking for money from people to invest in their bike company are they not? Would a bike that’s getting a podiums and wins be something that people...

11/3/2020 9:18am CrowdCube they have set up is selling shares in the business at £11 a share? Is that not different to crowd funding?? But technicalities aside, my point is a bike getting podiums is going to get more investment than one that’s not, Surly? Would they not want to get someone in who can get them?

I think as long as Greg wants to keep racing, The Syndicate will make him an offer... He's still a threat to win on any given race day..

11/3/2020 1:40am If Dakota Norton leaves Davinci any fancy Mark Wallace to go there in replacement? Could Atherton racing take another Elite rider, their bikes are going public with the sale of shares. Surly they will want that bike on podiums next year? It would be a though ask to put it all on Rachel’s shoulders given how strong the woman’s field...

10/31/2020 3:08pm I thought Gee might go enduro a few seasons back, because he’s pretty fit. But I dunno now, he’s so far off the pace this year. Think kade, Harrison and Wilson all signed with the new trek team end of 2018. So would have done 2 seasons? Contracts seem to be 2-3 years, don’t they ?

10/31/2020 1:58pm Danny looks set for Cube, any else think that’s a strange match? I suppose Cube lost Greg Callaghan last year so don’t have a big ride signed to their MTB teams and they have been plugging their new DH bike. Is luca shaw’s contract up at the syndicate, as he joined they same time as loris? If loris joins Trek...
