Maybe look up the definition of rumor? Most rumors are stated as if they are true. Hence, 2025 Team Rumors.
maybe there is no scott dh team for 2025?
From a budget and marketing perspective, that might make sense. At least in my circles, Scott seams to appeal more to the boomer XC market rather than the DH/Freeride market, at least when compared to brands like Commencal, Canyon, Specialized, Transition, Trek, Mondraker, Intense, Frameworks, Forbidden, Norco, and the like. For Scott to gain more market share in the gravity segment, they would have to sponsor more big names alongside Brendog and Marine, and it wouldn't be out of the question for them to consider pulling WC team support, considering Brendog doesn't race anymore, and the entry fees are going up to have a full World Cup team going.
I've seen and heard an increase in team registration fees mentioned quite a few this this fall. Does anyone know what the increase is? Or what team fees for 2025 are?
IIRC I think it's $50k/year for a world cup pro team
100k and you need a minimum of 5 riders and this is from a reliable source.
for now the team managers don't even know :-) So I would say 50k or 100k is still a rumour
I read the new rules and all I saw was maximum number of riders per team. Not minimum. Although with four riders scoring points, you need four to be competitive
I would be surprised to see them go. They have that new bike in development with the internal shock, having that bike on the world cup circuit ridden by some top riders makes sense from a marketing perspective. Maybe if the factory team goes, they will be frame sponsor for another team.
Regarding fees - they should be similar as before, but teams have the opportunity to get 3 years “subscriptions”. Hence the numbers are higher. (Just information out of a Podcast and the fees are not yet finalised).
There definitely is a Scott DH team in 2025+
Reminder that some of the users commenting and getting downvoted are in fact team managers 😂
Here to lurk the crazy claims... like that one about Scott... 🥸
hey it's a rumor thread so we all have a 50% chance of getting it right!
50% huh..? Gwin Racing to Huffy
There was an Ozzie podcast that mentioned earlier this year the Team reg fees when from just over Euro20k to around Euro100K
Interested to see which elite female they sign if Marine does leave.
Probably need more evidence then click bait podcasts.
If Marine was leaving Scott (unlikely imo) I guess Camille would be a good fit.
Who's to say they'll bring in a new female rider, if Marine leaves?
If nobody else changes team, they'll still have two elite women in the roster next year as Sacha Mills is moving up a category.
Stolen from the MVP of the SMX meme world, but the pro riders in the pedal bike industry have the same opportunity!
Torquato Testa to Onlyfans
My rumor from last year was 100% correct 🤣
Spotted on Instagram 😂
Whoah put the brakes on this.
why?
Dude - there’s no rotors! I think it was a joke.
I wish I knew what this means
Camille already has her ride aligned though 🤣
so norco it is 😃
