UCI World Cup Rumors via @TeamRumours

So no Shaun o'connor on th yeti team. Where is he going?

Also, lapierre international is now down as an XC only team. So we might see Blenky and Cam Cole on a different lapierre team?

im gunna go out on a limb and say spesh and sc are going to beat mondraker at every race... because they are wearin red

Preview of one of our TLD jerseys ;-)

I certainly hope they figure out that those Monster typeface logos on the forearms are upside down before they go into production

Don't worry there chief, these are all deadline images of pretty much everyones jersey file.

Thank god, Craig. Wasn't sure I was going to be able to get to sleep tonight.

The syndicate will have a different jersey for each rider surely? Bryceland is on fox, Minnaar on o'neil and Peaty is still with royal

You forgot one more jersey option

That Evian kit for the Kurtz team is very "fashion progressive"... yuck.

cedrics the man

World Cup leader jerseys complete with Rocky Roads logo (DH is the black vest)


Duncan Riffle is on Dirt / Norco

Rumor going around that a certain PNW shredder whose first name rhymes with Duke is going to be shredding for a company whose name rhymes with divot.

Good that they are bringing back the vest as opposed to the jersey, but WHY BLACK!

So.. Luke Strobel on Pivot then Spomer? haha

blenki's 2012 lapierre kit.

Those vests look awful. Couldn't they just do a red number plate like in Moto, and be done with it? As it is now, half the sponsors will be dreading the day their rider leads the WC - no more logos in the pictures! OK I exagerate, but still, what's the big deal with a leader's jersey? Plate would be much cooler.

Also a rumor that Duke will be full kitted up with a clothing/protection supplier that rhymes with Troy Lee Designs.

Thought I'd update this list...

Anyone else got any more from their local area?

What is happening about the net coverage?
Have Red Bull confirmed they'll be offering Live streaming?

aaron gwin is on red bull according to his facebook page!

So the first rumor finally comes true! Guess it was a matter of time before an energy drink company got to him.

It isn't true. If you want to film the race runs, and you aren't working for a team, you have to pay to show race runs. That money however goes to the UCI not Red Bull. Same as the last few years IIRC.

Red Bull are going to be broadcasting it, not sure if it's gonna be live yet.
