Miranda Miller on the Kona SGR DH team.
With Noah Hofmann [?], according to the team list. I'm a bit surprised...

I can confirm that he wasn't there earlier. He must have been left out by mistake.

I don't doubt you at all. We're talking about the UCI here...

There was some speculation earlier about her taking on a management role there, no idea if it was ever confirmed tho. Also some hints that BK's role might be changing (he does pretty much all the team manager tasks and somehow still manages to train and race, dude could use some help).

If memory serves me right BK's California LSD series started off with him getting coaching and saying that he wanted to have a serious go at the podium this season. Emilie moving into a management position should take some of the team responsibility off BK's back letting him focus more on his own racing?

...and I thought Lance Stephenson is playing his air guitar again for the Indiana Pacers, where in reality he's team managing the South African Computer Mania team, where Theo Erlangsen rides. Sheesh!

Also, Martin Whiteley is team managing Neko's Frame Works squad during his sabbatical. Wink

Shocked - one of the best freeride athletes without a frame sponsor. Same happened to Adolf Silva if I am correct. Is creating content more important than talent/skills?
Pretty much, it’s about getting coverage for their sponsors which lead to sales (hopefully), that’s why the likes of Brendan Fairclough make great money (presumably) even though he hasn’t one or podiumed in a long time but produces loads of content/publicity for his sponsors.

As I said on a previous post… it looks like Valentina Roa Sanchez will race for Probuilds Racing. Keep in mind this name. The future of female downhill racing looks good.

Not a team rumor, but a bike rumor.

„Our soon-to-be-revealed new weapon“ …any clue what they mean with this phrase? My best guess is that they will just reveal their new part sponsors (like TRP) and team rider, etc. Or do you think they made some significant changes to their Supreme DH prototype? Either way, I am excited for the upcoming season!

Probably just the production version of the Supreme DH. They were all racing prototypes last year.

This would be awesome 😍 Max Commencal said in an interview with Wyn that they are going to release new bikes in 2022 and I would not be surprised if the new Supreme DH V5 would be one of them…. so, let‘s see.

Yes indeed, but I fear since the UCI has published the 2022 team list, we won’t have many new rumors - at least on the racing side. Or should we already start discussing team rumors for 2023? 😅

Still very curious to find out for which brand Brett Rheeder will ride in the future.

Still have a few EWS to confirm I think? Bex, Florian, who else?

Carson is one of those guys where keeping it real is costing him a paycheck. Nothing wrong with that but he doesn’t exactly produce a ton of content. That said he has a fair number of local sponsors who benefit a lot from how much he kicks it around Oregon. Hopefully some of them can step up support in Rocky’s absence.
Remy Morton is another one that comes to mind... he has produced a couple amazing edits, but doesn't seem to have frame/suspension sponsorship? Weird to be on Red Bull and not have a full program dialed in.
