Not really imo. Fox doesn’t really seem to be on top, and they seem to cater to certain teams. Gwin is a business man, to be a good one you can’t be afraid to make a change no matter what the history.

More from the point of view that he’s been on fox for his entire career even when that meant moving the full team over from rockshox. Plus as far as I’m aware specialized are the only team that Ohlins support at a factory level.

i think he just showed off one of the team ebikes. his first video back riding on the crestline DH bike was on fox suspension, all the other crestline riders are on öhlins.

on another topic, saw a pic of aaron on crutches today, a broken foot supposedly. didn't read/heard anything about that... dude can't catch a break Sad

Sam to Foes? - Wild.

I've been on a Foes Mixer and their Ridgeback for a while now. Rad bikes but definitely don't fit the mass produced mold. Excited to see where this goes! I'm guessing that small team in Pasadena is going to be flooded w/ calls today hahah

Who had Sam Hill to Foes on their bingo card? 

Old news. This was "known" a while back.  Just that there were no loose lips.
Brent's building a World Cup DH bike again.

figured with the white helmet he's been running that the RB helmet was on it's way at some point this season.

I was doing a long drive a few weeks back and listened to Nigel Paige’s podcast with Brent Foes. Brent eluded to the fact that, in his opinion, the current crop of DH bikes could be better and he has a slew of ideas based from his Motorsport experience that he wants to try. They never blatantly admit it, but it sounds Nigel might have a hand in a start up team that will ride proto Foes bikes in the big leagues.

Especially with the new electric Ohlins stuff.

Hes going to drive them out of business.  What did he say his final count was for race day in Poland?  8 Or something? Well deserved though!  Is he the second Irish rider with a redbull lid now?

Is the Red Bull count real?  I assumed it was some inside joke that just keeps goin that he drinks tons of them.  If not I hate to see him in 10 years if he keeps that up.

I think it’s pretty legit cause he’s said before when he has too many and overdid it. But who really knows.

IIRC there was one race recently where he copped to 6 and said it was too many, 8 sounds a bit worrying if it's true...

Makes me happy. Foes making a play to get back to being a more common name. Good way to do it.
