Your always the first to drop the goods ...let's goooo baby
It's kind of like he has some insider info about things to come!
4 women! HELL yeah Transition, that is so rad!
And a woman on the support team! I think it was Emilie on Making Up the Numbers who made the awesome point that that helps pave the way for more ladies in racing/MTB too
Solid updated from Öhlins, summarizing their roster situation going into 2023: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/ohlins-shares-details-continued-support-and-partnerships-dh-and-gravity-scene.
Rachel is the main gear that make this big machines wheels turn. Loads of race experience and possibly the most organized person on the planet. We would be lost without her.
Found this on Instagram today
Man I have missed so much!
• Yes Paul Aston is a complete knob, probably the largest knob in MTB currently.
• Love to see transition back in the game with a sick roster.
• Miranda Miller riding for and or "a" Santa Cruz this year
Huh, interesting, I seem to recall he way even an investor into the Forestal project...
Primal Wear has forever tainted the word "primal" for me.
The colors selection look vaguely like the Spanish flag, Orbea? Mondraker?
bos fork in the front?
Gracia says he's been a fan of the brand since he started racing, that was a long time ago so it's brand that's been around for awhile. What are some older Spanish bike brands?
BH founded in 1909
Maybe Santa Cruz? They were formed in 1994 and his first world cup was in 1994.
so you mean a comeback ?
Rob Warner did it. Why not Cedric?
Very vaguely as they are inverted... hahaha 🇪🇸
Raaw have signed two new canadian riders in the past few days. Coen skrypnek and gabe nueron
Prolly GT? With the press release about their relocation and recommitment to their roots, teaming up with GT makes a lot of sense. We're all aware of GT's pedigree back in the day. GT likes to party. CG likes to party. GT + CG = Moar Good Times.
I initially thought Sunn, especially with the BOS suspension.

I thought that to with the arrow pointing to the sky
Atherton bikes off Trickstuff and on to Hayes? Or just testing something different?
We knew about it already, but now we know a bit more: here's the info on what Unno will be doing at the World Cups this year. They've lined up Angel Suarez, Ike Klaassen and team manager Niko Velasco, and the team will be racing an all-new DH bike prototype that carries a previously used name, the Ever. The team is called the Primal Unno Project Race Team and will also be supported by Alpinestars, Enve, TRP, Schwalbe, Fizik, Fox, Crankbrothers, Tannus, Ochain and Ridewrap.
The bike is said to offer plenty of adjustability which should help the team dial it in to their liking. It's a mullet for now although a 29-inch rear triangle may also be in the works.
"I never rode a bike so balanced. It’s a super agile rig and has the perfect balance between stability and handling, with a lot of ground sensitivity and a composed stiffness. It’s super progressive at the beginning of the travel, but once you’re between sag points it gets firmer so it’s easy to carry a lot of speed with it. The feeling is very similar to the Burn, a bike that I adored since the first pedal stroke." - Angel Suárez
Interesting that despite the sponsor announcement there is no Ochain mounted to the bike in the last photo.

no one guessed at the moment
Not a french, spanish or american brand...
Commencal would make the most sense... HQ is right by his house. Dates back to the Sunn-Chippie days with him.
