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.

I appreciate the hope you all have for frameworks but I think a lot of you are holding it up to be the next syndicate-esque mega team or something. This is literally a passion project that Neko started very recently. He’s accomplished a lot but let’s not start assuming every big name is headed there.

Speculation is that Greg was supposed to have a big year last year (World Champs Fort Bill) and go out 'on top'. Or at least with a good year under his belt. Santa Cruz hurting like all other brands right now probably planning to have him off the payroll for 2024--which was likely a huge relief. Then his season started going to shit and and it all started piling up. He had tons of bad luck and his season was lack-luster. He has said himself he didn't want to go out like that. Also, I don't think Greg is getting...

Having pretty mixed feelings abouts all this tbh... But it also raises some questions in my opinion: 1. Will this affect Peatys role at the Syndicate? Looks like he's the only one left from the good old days. 2. Is there any relation to what was happening around Roskopp a year (?) ago? 3. Is this a major marketing fail? Imagine all the exposure the GOAT will drive to a brand on what is maybe his farewell tour. Plus the Syndicate always had these family vibes and people loved it. Loosing GM somehow feels like they loosing a huge part...

Respect to Pablo Cliparto for injecting a little fun back into this thread. The elephant / baobab / Fiat Uno sure has me puzzlin'

I heard BK is taking up a new career in dog grooming

Is BK seriously dating Jenna? Wow!

But notice how Emilie has been MIA for quite a while now? She missed half the season this year. I know Cami got hurt at Andorra, but ever since Emilie has not been present at the Pivot camp. Whereas before she was there very round, even after MSA in 2022 when Cam wrecked her collarbone. Maybe there was a falling out after Bernie started dating his 19yo employee?

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

Read on UCI IG comments, I thought it was hilarious: "2026 schedule is just Loic doing solo runs at home while being followed by a drone flown by Cedric" It might even finally become a Toyota commercial...

2026- WCDH is 3 rounds, all in France.

maybe Loic should do a season in a Sprinter van, sharing with another rider, eating stale vegemite sandwiches, riding a flogged out bike and living on 100 Euro a week before coming up with statements like that, He's never done it hard, never slept in a prostitutes dungeon (wtf frotha?) It's a right of passage for up and coming Aussies and Kiwi's to sleep in a van by the skin of their teeth on a clapped out bike, doing surprisingly well and then party harder that night. I could name 10 pro's that stemmed from Vanzac life and prior. Came...

For me it wasn't the word but the derogatory tone in which it was delivered.

As a fluent French speaker who lived in France for 14 years, I can offer a bit of context. The “gypsy” term is basically used interchangeably with “camper”, not intended as a slur but more of a funny way of describing anybody living out of a van for a while…it obviously gets lost in translation here.

I like Loic, but I think he's bought into the DHI could be like F1 hype. I'm sure it's appealing to him as one of the top riders, coming from a country that elevates cycling disciplines to more prominence than many others and puts a lot of energy into their youth development programs. In addition, he's on one of the top teams that also sees itself as a bit of an F1 style team in being on the cutting edge of technology and data. So he looks at F1 and thinks, "How cool would it be if I was like...

He said that while what I would say was purposely wearing all the redbull gear he could find.... I think Kade and Trek are done

It says „boost bro“ on the back of the helmet which is Jackson Goldstones Instagram Title Line, also he is sponsored by Fox and Red Bull. Maybe a loaner helmet?

Agree, more people still have issues with Richy Rude and Jared Graves failing a drug test in 2018 than BK who is currently hooking up with a 19 year old staff member who was under age when he first became her boss.
