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...
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
In the comments Neko says an opportunity came up with another brand. Sounds like Frameworks is breaking up with Hayes, not the other way around. Also great that it appears Frameworks is bringing in the suitors and getting paid.

Sounds like an amicable breakup, maybe they can still be friends?

Frameworks will be on TRP drivetrain and brakes next year 👌
In one of the clips from the year-end edit from Frameworks, it looked like Angel was using TRP DHR-evos at MSA. Hard to tell, but it was a flash of gold. Interesting at least that they might have been using TRP for part of this season too.
Well, I guess we now know for sure why BK was/Is chasing points. Piviot clearing house, But maybe to sign 1 great rider with points?? We will find out soon.
only thing w/ the hack being fake is that there are no other posts in their feed at all. pretty gutsy move to nuke years worth of posts for a PR stunt.
eh Taylor Swift did the same thing when she launched an album. You can archive vs delete. It looks like a staged marketing thing. You can't not have 2 factor with that many followers and the notifications for unknown log ins would be numerous.
if the hack was fake/publicity stunt, then the "reboot" post is exceptionally deceitful. i have to believe the hack is real considering this post. fwiw, their reels seem unaffected.

Same non-Shimano vendor as Canyon used?
Hayes Brakes off Frameworks

Two of a kind actually

According to the G.O.A.T Anne Caroline Chausson Loris Vergier has joined Commencal for the 2025 season.
She mentions this in the En Roue Libre podcast:

I swear that "hack" was staged, commencal will stoop to any sort of wild shit for attention lol
also, the Norco shimano batteries that were no good are made by BMZ. Mine has died a few times now. Pain in the ass.

The Canyon ones are made by Trendpower (Simplo) if I remember right. At least the manufacturing is done by them.

Rudi Eichhorn off FMD and "big changes ahead" according to the latest "How we roll" episode.
Didn't say anything about Oli Zwar.
All female team? New frame sponsor?
