She's a MX5 owner and huge fan. That's why.

What about Joe Smith, Matt Simonds, and Atwill? Cant remember if they’ve confirmed anything

What's happening with the YT mob? Angel is still alone on the athletes page of their site, thought a mob consisted of more than one person.

She's Factory SRAM, not YT Mob. Just rides a YT frame, they probably give her support but not factory, not yet at least. Rumors are that she is SRAM for a few more years.

Again a photo of past race season. I don’t think they can time-travel and put new parts into an old photo?

Actually she's VERY factory YT too, just not on the Mob, that is a different program, They made her a custom Worlds bike, which is as factory as it gets. It has been well documented everywhere.

Some pages back, someone said that the Mob will be supporting her at the races, if I am not mistaking, but she is not part of the Mob. The Mob will probably still be on Fox Suspension and the sponsors that Martin was able to secure, some very likely carrying over from last year's program. I'm betting on Renthal and Onza, no info, just a gut feeling.

I vaguely recall ValI Holl signing for 10 years or something with YT ages ago, or is that somebody else?

Yes, sorry, my mistake. I was thinking about riders on YT, rather than the Mob.

I think his first season or 'pre-season' was on global racing. He was in a bike movie at the time, i don't remember the title, and he was the weird alien kid not wearing gloves.

Are you sure you are not talking about Gravity Group, the team of 2006-2007 with Filip Polc, that ran Turners, FSA parts and sported red gear, before he got on Yeti? I'm 99% sure he wasn't on Global.

I can't quite recall either, but I believe it only runs until the end of this season.

I'm interested in seeing how the mob goes... I think some of those deals Aaron brought in.. I can see Onza staying as they aren't a part of Gwin's IFR program.. Valli is a SRAM rider. Perhaps they pick up the mob too if they have a budget to do so...
