Rob Warner has just posted this, I’m awful at identifying bikes from photos like this but it looks like a shimano crank, so more than likely a shimano motor?
that narrows it down a bit?

By the looks of the picture Rob is still on Vitus bikes.
..Great rider and pretty nice guy and its cool seeing someone who's not chasing the clock getting a good contract. Also great to see 7Mesh getting more MTBers on board, their gear is the best on the market IMO. Iago seems like a perfect fit for them and he makes people wanna rides bikes.... Honestly this news of him moving to CD is more exciting than Jesse's and Jack's move - the whole build up on Team Rumours was overrated.. Congrats Iago.
OK then, NOW we can post the full announcement from SCOR...
-----------------------------------------
JOSH LEWIS JOINS THE SCOR CREW
SCOR HEADQUARTERS, GRENCHEN, SWITZERLAND
Nothing beats playing on bikes with friends and SCOR’s newest riding buddy is someone who has play down to a fine art. Josh ‘Loose Dog’ Lewis is known for his incredible creativity on the bike and off it, making him the perfect partner for the Swiss mountain bike brand whose brand claim is Play the Mountains.
Lisa Wolf, SCOR’s PR manager: “We’re really excited to have Josh joining the SCOR crew. Getting him onboard was a no-brainer for us, his vision and riding style perfectly fit with what SCOR is all about – creativity, play and just having fun on your bike. Josh visited us in Switzerland recently and left with his new bikes, some big plans and an even bigger smile, we can’t wait to see what he does next.”
Josh had this to say: “Bikes bring me so much joy and I love sharing that feeling with others through my riding and videos, SCOR has shown me so much support already in helping me do the best version of me and I am so grateful that I have landed here... I have been made to feel a valued part of the family from the start. It’s the change that I needed and I cannot wait to get going and enjoy the process on these SCOR machines equipped with Marzocchi suspension and Deity components.
It’s that feeling you get, when you learn something new on your bike, that gets me hooked... My goal is to just keep progressing myself where ever I can and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
I’m chuffed to be riding for SCOR as we both share the same passion – having fun by playing on our bikes, and getting creative on the trails. I’m really looking forward to capturing the adventures and spreading the joy that bikes bring us.”

This doesn’t strike me as a match made in heaven but then again neither did Santa Cruz at the time. Hopefully all the 50/01 crew being on different bikes won’t get in the way of them making quality videos together.

The text on the seat tube gives it away.
Well spotted!
it’s already been confirmed that he has left/is leaving vitus so I guess he either doesn’t have another sponsor lined up/can’t announce it yet so is just riding round on what he has for now.
Not quite. I've heard whispers that a certain brand are unhappy with a rider's choice of helmet sponsor and he may be looking for a new...

My guess is you’re talking about Lew Buchanan….
Notably, he hasn’t tagged Norco in any of his posts since announcing his OnlyFans sponsorship/relationship. Also has alluded to being “lonely” on his “journey to doing something different.” Possibly a reference to being left by a major sponsor.
If so, he seems to have quite the knack for bumming out sponsors after relatively protracted relationships. He kind of seems like a twat.

This was also my concern when he communicated the partnership with OF!
Cool move to get some outside money but a bold move to go with OF and I'm sure there are many companies that would not appreciate to be in a way connected to the network.
OF still has a lot of rebranding to do (if they can) to be accepted in the mainstream.

Lew has come here and responded to posts in the past. Doesn't really seem like a twat. I'm kind of shocked at the reaction to the OF helmet deal, considering that the biggest helmet sponsors in the industry have probably been way more harmful to the health of humanity (sugary, caffeinated fizzy drinks) than a website that has helped to flatten/democratize the extremely exploitative hierarchy of the porn industry.

If pornhub is a sister(or stepsister) company to OF he could bag a wheel sponsor right there
From the riders list of Tarouca's 2023 race!
also Sam hill confirmed as a downhill racer this year!

Not just confirmed as a DH rider, but seemingly also NOT registered for enduro!?
He's pretty much done it all in enduro racing, maybe it is a farewell dh tour for him? can't wait to see him racing again!
Spot the cassette too.
Just noticed that it sounds like Max Beaupre will be getting in the EDR mix this year. 17th in Sugarloaf as a first showing is pretty solid!
Yep saw that, really cool!
