So Gwin can't say for a few more weeks, and YT is announcing and introducing their new race team at Bootleg in a few more weeks, a venue that's been popular with Gwin in the past. Did we ever hear who Martin Maes was riding for? Gwin/Maes to YT?

I think Gwin will be riding skis this WC season. The statistics back it up - there are more people who watch skiing then DH biking, and if Gwin DH skis he can attract more viewers.

So Gwin will be on 23 degrees with some title sponsor somewhere and be either riding their bike, or a frame of his choosing if they don't make bicycles. If its a frame of his choosing, I have to think he'll be on a demo. He's jiving on it pretty well right now.

Isn't Audi owned by VW? Seems pretty unlikely that they'd decide to sponsor a bicycle racing program when their budget is already a bit short from dealing with the diesel emissions scandal. They don't even sell bicycles, and the exposure it will net them is probably pretty minimal. I'm pretty dubious of the Audi sponsoring a big budget bike team...

I agree on the text - white on white sucks, and its not uncommon for me to spend more time trying to figure out the text then looking at the picture, and then I miss the picture. The problem lays in the fact that the pictures are consistently stellar, and the captions are consistently enlightening or at least witty, making it hard to miss either. But that said, everything that Ian collins said is correct.
