Norco is here to race fuckin bikes! I love Danny Hart and Camille Blanche on the same team. That’d be sick! With Minnaar in charge? That dude loves winning. I was always struck by Fairclough’s stories about how GM wasn’t giving any sort of tips to him when he was starting out, even mind gaming him as a teammate…Minnaar is one of those ruthless winners, straight up here to win. I don’t have that in me so I’m always attracted to it. Hart and Balanche have it too. 

I thought he’d suck as a boss, but if he’s responsible for these pickups I was way off. 

That’s a pro team. Syndicate style family vibes are fun but this feels fast. 

Haha big if true love it especially late in the summer etc

Word on the street is that GM was given (nearly) unlimited budget to sign whoever he wants, and was even going as far as trying to buy riders out of contracts or steal them from other teams. Seems like norco/GM will do anything it takes to win next season

this all sounds so weird to me since norco was to pause their WC team before signing greg and now they‘re throwing around money like it‘s growing on trees? did they get some funding from outside mountainbiking?

It does seem odd. Norco does own Live to Play Sports which is one of the major national distributors of bike equipment in Canada so perhaps profits from LTP are insulating Norco from current market pressures that have hammered brands like Rocky Mountain. Or maybe Norco just managed their inventory a lot better than RM and others the past few years, not sure, have seen some smoking deals on the older Sights, Ranges and ebikes.

word on the street is norco has a similar problem with their shimano motor ebikes as canyon. those big batteries were not reliable either
