And that 2014 bike, Barel was already riding it in 2009.
I don't know, maybe it's awesome and doesn't need too be changed, (there's already a couple bikes like that on the circuit)
I'm just judging based on results, which I realize is not objective at all, but that is all I can do from behind my computer.
If you go by his Instagram he's still riding a Kona bike, a Process, for now, but he has mentioned at least twice that he doesn't have a DH bike anymore as it was left at Hafjell when he smashed himself....
I read this as yes it was left there, but also as Kona don't want to cough up for another bike when he's not going to be riding for them next year...
Can't wait to see where Neko goes.....
If it's true, that would be the stupidest thing Specialized has ever done.
And they've done a lot of stupid things.
*cough* SX Trail *cough*
needles = Andrew Neethling --> Scott: good teammate for Brendan, top 20 rider, might push Brendan to step up results
rag doll = Emmeline Ragot --> Norco
big horse = Cam Cole --> YT
kangaroo = Troy Brosnan --> Sram/TLD
british heart = Danny Hart --> Mondraker
Rambo (Sambo) = Sam Dale --> Sunn: he was there before, Manon needs more money
yeah = Connor Fearon --> Giant: "young up and comer", Fox clothing, Sram connection, super exciting to watch (Giant needs)
broken chain = Neko Mullaly --> Intense: 'merica!, on DVO suspension
kiwi = Sam Blenkinsop --> Norco
Maybe replacing Isak Leivsson and Lorenzo Suding (would be a shame, they're both shredders).
Also, are we sure that Emmeline will be with Blenki? All Stikman said is that she'll be with someone she's been teammates with in the past.
So it could also be with Brook on TWR
Intense Factory Team: Jack Moir (ex bergamont) , Bernat Guardia, Ferran Jorba. Intense M16 out in february with Sram and Maxxis, NOT DVO.
In all seriousness, isn't Guardia's team called "Intense GoPro", and not "Factory Intense"?
I mean, Palmer clearly said that there would be a new Intense team , and he works closely with Intense founder Jeff Steber, so I would assume that that would be the "Intense Factory" team.
Also, with Palmer picking the riders, you bet he'd be looking for at least one American rider
Giant have just lost allot of Glory sales, bad move.
But seriously guys, I have a hard time believing that Paul Mitchell is coming back to the sport - I think Head and Shoulders is going to be where Brad ends up. Polamalu is already doing great work with them, and I think they could use some more "extreme sports" in their marketing.
