He’s surely not leaving after they finally got him a bike he can compete with?

I don't recall reading about Dailly to Specialized. Or about GT splitting with George and Noga. And I don't think I've heard the Oton rumor either.

Otton is gonna change Team for 2020, he will replace another Frenchy in his new team 😉

Pretty sure Brendon signed a new contract last year after velo solution team folded. Although he is on his own hybrid factory program from what I remeber

Well, it doesn't have to be mandatory for a race team participating to a UCI event but it could be a requirement for a TRADE TEAM...
Well, it doesn't have to be mandatory for a race team participating to a UCI event but it could be a requirement for a TRADE TEAM. These teams receive a preferred treatment from UCI, it sounds normal they would also have to bring some value to the UCI such as developing the sport with some juniors and helping the sport to progress. There are already many requirements for a trade team, this one doesn't sound outrageous.
Keep in mind UCI receives funding from national federations and national federations receive (most of the time) funding from national government aka people taxes (and 50% of them are women). UCI rules are politic (in the most virtuous meaning), they are supposed to support an equal and fair world we want to live in. It's not just a product with some marketing. It's fine if teams don't want or can't support female riders but they don't have to be a trade team.
Social change and progress don't always appear as a free market organic outcome, it needs some impulsion.
i like the idea of teams competition pulling from men & women (as is the current rule)... if there were more value in the team standings every team would have a woman on it...

Ha- exactly... try to even find it on the UCI website or even understand what you are looking at if you did:

Interesting...

"Unfortunately I ran out of time with Tahnee at this point. I had planned on fishing for information on who she’ll be riding for next year, having left Transition. (My money is on Trek, but I have no facts to back this up. What do you think?").

if any of you think Commencal is going to let Pierron walk after his last two seasons you are out of your GOURD.

Well, with so many deep pockets invested in the Intense team, i'm sure that by now, they feel very motivated to finally get some champ material..

That list is UCI global ranking right? NOT the season ending WORLD CUP ranking?

Yes... this is the global ranking where its counting points from men and women... but like i said.. hard to tell what this ranking is on the site... and its never mentioned in race coverage, or the media at all... if i was Scott I'd be all the time telling ppl we were the #1 team in the rankings... As a team or sponsor you put all this effort in to the WC... I'd want the WC to have a team comp as well... just sayin...

Chain Reaction working out with Tahnee. Seems like it would be a good fit for the team to ride Nukeproof frames and components?

It is strangely interesting looking through the teams.

Brendog is not listed when you click through to the team members of Scott Factory DH, neither Jack Moir on the Intense team or Luca Shaw on the SC Syndicate page?

May be others too, haven't had a long look.

Was Brendog ever technically on the Scott DH team? I though he was technically on his own deal.

Correct, bit still technically a Scott factory rider I believe in his own way.

A massive island and autonomous Danish territory between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans has been given its wings for next year.
