That would jive well with the 'un nouveau roi' Palmer-style crown drawing that someone posted.... hard to imagine that Intense has the funds for Loic and the level of support he's used to though..... Palmer wore that crown when he was on Specialized, but Intense would be an awesome curveball!

Pro move by Atherton not leaking any info there.

Definitely a good move by Maes and whoever picks him up, even when Dan was injured last year and Maes was ripping it always seemed like he was covered like a sideshow to the Atherton main act, he definiteley deserves centre stage.

Of course! 100%. I forgot they were in San Diago. I imagine Loic will do some promo for the Aircraft helmet whilst he's there? If Gwin were to start a new team, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if Lolo went to the Big S. I would be surprised if Loris didn't move wherever Loic goes though.
As for Martin Whitely, the guy's seriously connected and experienced. It wouldn't be shocking to learn that he's already done all his business for 2016 and is just waiting to announce it.
Commencal also has a San Diego office... curious.

If they're laughing, I wish they'ed chip in, even if it was misleading and distracting. Fuel the fire! There's a guessing party going on here and now. Gwen to Evil! I just heard... He's abandoned The Jesus and gone to the other extreme! Welcome to the team Aaron!

Loic to Norco is odd but makes sense of things said in the past, the 50/10 vid is hard to make out but it looks dale is Cruzing just fine over that section.

Yeti used to be the team that brought many new talents into the sport (Gwin for example), they might go back to this if Graves leaves, support few new guns with the remaining money?

It looked like it to me. He was in a puffy jacket and the bike he is on is not a saracen.

Aye, absolutely not a Saracen.

However I think it's hard to read too much into this. It could be that they were all just sessioning it on the one bike, that happened to be a SC?
Plus there haven't been any rumours on here so he can't possibly be on SC aha Wink


Very weird looking jump line too.

No new addition to Norco Factory.
Blenkinsop to race EWS for 2016.

they are hanging out often - it is the "all the lads" thing i guess. like it was written in an other post - guess that was the only bike around - just hop on it and session some akward jumps :-)

I think more curious as to how some people guess correctly even with the wildest dreams. Everybody reads these!

Except if you watch the whole segment there are clips of 3 of them riding the jumps in a train at the end so there was definitely more than one bike there.

And I diss some people for soap-opera-addiction or the constant need to update their social.media stats - while I anxiously wait for notifications of a new posting in here. Oh juicy juicy rumors - it's just sad that teamrumors is gone. The pencilmen where so spot on while so missleading at the same time.
Still this is money in here - Monneey!
