All

Went to read the current rules and highlighted them below. Nothing about the team stuff has changed - it has been 15+5, and will continue to be. Rest your pitchforks on that. Protected riders going away good or bad, I don't know, I suppose the current top riders will have to put a bit more effort into qualies? The team kit color stuff has always excluded DH teams, guess they added DH back in. Nothing else really, Top 50 or National winner or continential top 3 whatever can compete makes sense - they want only the top athletes competing in...

i'd save up and get a Yeti

I think that’s her favourite number but I could be way wrong Can’t wait to seeing TS on the top of the podium this year

They're also selling their current full-suspension inventory on a BOGO deal to try to generate cash flow, allegedly because they can't afford the payments necessary to get their new models released from the manufacturer. They don't sponsor any race teams any more, and they don't make a dedicated downhill bike. They're in no position to sponsor Gwin.

Myriam Nicole sure seems to be placing IG tags conveniently over anything that might identify their third rider on full fledged team gear…

Ryder Lawrence is highly likely to be one of them

I know it's Rumours, so we're not supposed to stamp them out...but people gotta stop thinking Gwin is gonna dump WC to go full time WindRock. It's absurd. Neko & Sean ran it for several years now without having to be present full time. Sean's infrastructure & logistics blueprint is firmly in place & peak summer isn't as demanding of ownership as fall/winter/spring. Hart & Atherton's have parks they don't drop WC for. It's a silly thought.

Vali Holl, (YouTube), YT Factory.

Dak, Gwin, Luca, Neko and Grice on Framewroks/Haas Factory Team (Haas pulled the plug on the F1 crap). Neko spearheading the launch of a new series, Super DH MX. 10 rounds in the US and Canada with a $5 million dollar purse and Apple as the title sponsor.

The Specialized Gravity team are sponsored by Specialized clothing. Assume he is free to ride any brand he wats for moto as they Specialized don't do a moto kit.

@Primoz 2023 we had the following (in no particular order): Atherton Racing Henrique Avancini Racing / Caloi Rockrider/Ford MMR Lapierre Mavic Unity GT Factory Racing Luca Cometti Alex Volokhov Cody Johnson We sponsored the BME series The Union (headsets and B Polygon Factory Racing Team KMC Berria Vittoria Cannondale Factory Racing

I accidentally hit my front wheel into Rémy Métaillers rear tire in the lift line, I said sorry, he didn't hear me and moved forward. I think it qualifies me to share his political views now

Buddy, lots of people on here have done lots of cool stuff, are doing lots of cool stuff, know many amazing people and are also very involved in the bike industry at many different levels or are those people that are racing. They just don't use it to try to boost and make it seems like their comments or opinions matter more than others. If you want to be taken seriously I'd chill and show some respect to all the people you name dropped enough not to use them to try and elevate yourself above someone else.

Not a team rumor, keep actual world politics out of this please.

Lopes brings new meaning to the term "podium threat".

Asa Vermette is staying on Frameworks for the next 2 seasons!! So good for him and the team as I bet ALL the top teams were chomping at the bit to sign that kid, just throwing money at him from all angles. Great to see he has some "tegrity" and loyalty to the Frameworks team, american DH has a bright future again yay!

This will be their Waterloo.

has it been released in full with dates and venues? one would think w/ neko's connections, he'd know the schedule, but his comment implies there aren't concrete dates yet.

A couple of weeks ago there was a rumor reading something like: "a former young talent and now established racer back to the roots" - a lot where linking it to Loris Vergier. Now after Valis interviews it might just be Vali going back to YT
