Reynolds to polygon? Based on 👀 of Bigbadwolf.
Yeah, i agree with you. Moi Moi was keeping enduro going with his vlogs and was a more reliable and timely source of information on the races than the UCI.
Charley Murray has already mentioned his race program for 2026 will be "slightly different." No idea, what that means though.
That is a bit sad. They have had some good history
As far as I understood, has Charlie a race team where Specialized is the frame Sponsor. They took Winnie for the 2025 Season on board.
Different frame sponsor or additional rider?
Oisin on Trek confirmed about 10 mins ago via his Insta
They're also switching to Fox suspension and apparently changing the name from Trek Factory Racing to Trek Unbroken DH
Edit: Not fox suspension, just the clothing. Still on SRAM I believe.
Switching to Fox clothes...
@sspomer We really need to do a fantasy league for silly season. Predictions need to be locked by dec 1st.
Can 100% confirm this based on what I've heard floating around (I used to work for those fellas)
Does that Trek kit announcement mean Ella Svegby’s off Trek? She didn’t ride in 2025 at all due to injury/illness.
No mention of her…
Oli Clark Mondraker factory racing
If this is true, e*thirteen had better be scrambling to make some stronger wheels to stand up to both his and Ronan's brutality
Jack Moir and Edbull Masters to WarnerBros micros instead of Ric McLaughlin and the other aussie
I think that should come under Dream Rumours, rather than Team Rumours.

Mikayla Parton on Specialized
Good for her. To be clear it looks like it’s Specialized UK and not Specialized Gravity team
Damn, Oli Clark is sick, but this must be why they dropped Dak.
does anyone know where Chris Hauser is going to? I think he had the best season out of all male TFR athletes last year…
I'm pretty sure Lachie Stevens McNab had the best season out of the male athletes on that team.
But I too would like to know where Hauser is going
Oh your right, don’t know how I could forget about Lachie😅
Looks like they are committing to a 'young' team with Ronan, Pinkerton and Clarke. Hopefully they work on getting a young up and coming female racer too
Josh Carslon is the other Aussie. I think he's the stand out plus he's a top bloke
In non-racing news, Spanish lady freerider Gemma Corbera says goodbye to Fox Head and announces more news soon. She is also a Cannondale ambassador.
I am not one to dis someone but that guy is sooooo annoying announcing DH. He seems perfect for the pits and maybe in corral post race but commentating he is super in accurate with what he is saying - ____ ALMOST OUT THE FRONT DOOR every 3rd rider. The nonsense that dribbles out of him is just an embarrassment. It's gotta be crazy hard but they need to replace him.
Rewatching all the races from 2025 and if my wife is the room I have to put headphones so she doesnt have listen to him!
Meh...I think he has some funny one-liners. Hes better than Claudio was...and just slightly worse than Elliot.
And this from Josh too
….ooo a bit of a huck a buck there
Again almost every rider. It becomes too much
Bring back Rob and pair Rob with Rachael Atheron , there’s a commentary team
Your post would have been better if you would’ve buttered the backside.
