Ah so the moral thing to do is to look at naked Ladies on the internet at home instead of being public in your Instagram? What exactly is exploitive or immoral about a model posing sexually with product? How is a model choosing to get paid for their attractiveness demeaning to women? Yeah eddy is a bit of a moron to put his name in it. Sponsors like shimano aren’t going to want to stir controversy or may have conservative views towards sex themselves. But if a sexy poster with mtb stuff bothers you that says a lot more about...

I’d place a 10 dollar bet every dude complaining about the vanzacs poster has visited a porn site this year and watched someone actually be sexually exploited while throwing zero money down. As long as the women are being paid fairly and want to be photographed who’s business is it to call it distasteful.

I think yt has realized they will sell out of bikes regardless of their reputation with “core riders” now they are established. Especially in the current market of Covid. I’d also guess they may not have been in a position to secure as product as they would’ve liked for the next few years. Maybe they will launch another dream team if sales slip and inventory is back to normal.

Such a class rider, exciting to watch and huge potential. Sounds like the Syndicate is calling...

Bernard had the big Pivot truck up for sale recently. Probably just selling it to buy a new toy or liquidate some cash he does love his toys. And probably me wasting time posting in this thread. I cannot imagine him not riding for Pivot or managing their DH/EWS race program. Such a stand up guy, brilliant rider and a great team.

Greenland definitely on the syndicate (well Santa Cruz at least). Saw him riding one mid week at ponty last week.

Just don't get it confused that Koas is dating Tahnee🤣

It should be noted that Muc-Off is not pulling its sponsorship from Amaury’s team, only Comencal 21 where Alex Marin and Angel Saurez are. Charlie Julia is that teams manager and Amaury’s post was a repost of Charlie’s story (plus some text).

Hey Mericans. You are taking yourself to serious. Many people here do net have english as first language and where not raised in americain culture. You should accept that a joke is a joke. Is was not the best but hey, it was a joke. In my opinion this became way fo big just trough social media. Social media are bad. Very bad. Peace out to all the keyboard worriors that will now eat me alive. Leben und leben lassen Vivre et laisser vivre

Whole lot of adults mad about words.

You know what? He is French, and he really didn’t understand aboutt it! He apologized the next day because someone told him it was a really bad move!! In France there’s no notion of the N word, and why should we have? It’s an American issue, not a international one. We don’t get it, some respect it because we’ve seen it on movies and comments, even so, we don’t get it. Because the USA isn’t the center of the universe, and in France , we never had laundry’s for “whites” only, or restaurants or dinners where black fellas were not...

France is not America. This is very hard for some people to understand. I speak French and have spent a good amount of time in France. It's a totally different culture. They look at American culture through the fog of distance and a second language. He wouldnt understand for a second why a word can be said by some people but not by others. He should obviously by educated as he is now an international athlete, but I don't hold anything against him. Live and learn.

He is a little “unhinged” to quote Mick Hannah, I don’t care about his hair cut or some stupid video. I just want to see him back riding a bike like a maniac.

Damm, all these years I lived on ignorance: if it’s on the internet then it must be true!!! I am officially a racist! Have a great discussion fellas, I m out to bike checks and some other interesting stuff Cheers

I don't know how this isn't already a problem. Essentially half the engineering of all motorsports is to find a way around the rules, or a way that now one can tell if you did break rules. It's expected and the norm for a top team.

I just can’t do this. I’m not an ebike hater but e racing? Just no. I can’t imagine caring less. Maybe I don’t know enough about it but I can’t imagine wanting to.
