I'm not sure where General Lee obtained the posted results, but if you want to look up various riders or venues - check out Roots & Rain

Nice point coming from General Lee re: race results.
Not sure if the data reflects this, but it seems Kiwi riders have not been able to get the consistency required to dominate a full season of DH or Enduro. It's certainly not for lack of talent, that's for damn sure.
Could it be because they have such a busy off-season at home? Too much traveling time, maybe, compared to other countries (NZ is far from pretty much everywhere else)?

It was more of a mule than a new bike thou to be honest take the IDrive out and change the shock position, but it was the same front triangle and rear end so nothing to ground breaking they did it and had to move quick because apparently the team were saying how crap the bike was!
Remember Slugger even won a World Cup on that hideous carbon fury that seemed short and steep, top riders these days should be able to win a race on any bike I’m sure Gwin, Troy and many others could of podiumed the GT Brook never could.
I really hope GT do have a new bike on the way, and I’m hoping it’s a modern day GT LOBO haha imaging that long, low, slack, strong, and with a new pullshock.
Pull shocks are the way of the future. I'm telling you... C'mon Rock Shox! Grow some balls and bring 'em back. (You've done your enduro thing.) I've got the frame design all worked out.

GT claims anothergeneral lee wrote:
I'm not sure the change to GT 'claimed' anyone. I was actually surprised to see how relatively few podiums Brook has been on in his career, I definitely would have thought it was more than five (1,2,4,4,5). And on two tracks I'd expect to see him do well at, Ft. William and MSA, his results on GT are better than Trek all but one time.
Let's also not forget that Gee killed it on the 26" "new" fury and won worlds on the 27.5" version. Multiple wins and several podiums for him on Gt, and he hasn't done much since the switch to Trek (well aware he's been battling injury the last two seasons). I have to agree with General Lee, I don't think that the GT is a career death sentence for anyone, I just Think it probably rides differently from most and takes some time to get used to. A lot of people claim the session is the fastest bike of the WC, and the results show that the Fury is right there with it when under the same riders.

maybe not a death sentence but a little show stopper when others around you keep evolving and tweaking geometry and you as a rider are stuck with a frime that was not developed any further for some years now. it may not be the sudden death but if keeps things fresh and interesting to get something new from time to time

Ok in theory, but does not work, due to Aussies having same summer Off season

Wonder if he'll be going the 29er
Brook posted a colour version of that photo on his Instagram story but quickly deleted it. Wish I had screen capped it. Pretty sure I remember some pink/purple colours in the frame dither.
Thought for a second it could be Transition FMD (Fox, Shimano, DT Swiss) but they run Schwalbe tires.

Yep, the 2018 Summum pro frames have pink/purple in their colorway.

That's a photoshop. Pierrons head on Jack Moirs body. Just a wind up.
I've heard Pierron is staying on Commencal but switching to Ride Addiction.

I messaged him about the stem. Told me it was temporary... And in a roundabout way told me it wasn't IBIS.
Granted he could have just been fucking with me haha

Yep, Totally Ibis. Also, I bet bex baraona is his teammate, along with wallner. A bit of IG digging and its all fairly obvious.
