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. 

Assumption is Jewitt brothers (and maybe even their family) were not stoked with how BK ran the team (yes, including Jenna) + Pivot/BK couldn't pay Jacob what he could get elsewhere = brothers peace out. I don't think Pivot will have budget to be signing other big name riders with points. Maybe one person max. The question will be if they're going to cut Matt Walker. I assume they will find budget to keep Eddy.

That's quite the assumption.

Do you have anything concrete to go off of with that or are you just feelin' vibes?

Just as wild an assumption (I don't know anything other than I liked Pivot's bikes and then I found out about the team and started and continue to pay attention to BK's videos like I do many other riders' videos): a lot of riders have two-year contracts and now that Jakob's contract is up and his results are getting better he's asking for a raise and a promotion like a guaranteed spot at future World Cups - which Pivot might not be able to do - while Dane's moving up to Elite and he's looking for more support to help him improve rather than the current less-supported-by-coaches-etc. program which has him perpetually just outside the podium.

I actually kind of think Matt Walker is already off the team. Which doesn't really make a lot of sense to me since Matt's results were better than Eddy's. Maybe Ed Bull Media House is great for drumming up extra financial support while Matt seems more dedicated to racing than being an ambassador of the brand(s)?

All speculation with no basis in any reality. I'm 100% avoiding doing some work right now, I'm fascinated with racing (especially enduro but there's so little coverage), how teams run their programs, and I'm looking forward to a 20-some mile pedal in 34ºF tomorrow so my brain is 100% in bike (and all things related) mode.

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.

Hi. Is a joke, it's a tradition, as in countries like mine that celebrate it on these dates (today, December 28). In addition, Instagram gives the option to save the posts and make them disappear from the feed, and then put them back up. Greetings!

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.

It was strange. After the hack, all the posts up to 2015 reappeared. I thought Remi Thirion was back on Commencal 🙃

I’m surprised they only asked for €2500.

With three suspects,  do we have any leads that might eliminate one?

I've never seen photos of Loris and Freddie in the same place........so I'm thinking it is a disguise.

We need Gwyn + Dak in the booth.

We need Gwynn on the starting line!

At least spell the guy's name correctly! G-W-I-N (not to be confused w/ Wyn...)

Apparently Brage Vestavik and YT (- the bike brand Young Talent, not YouTube)  have been talking. I can't tell you what came of it, if anything. Though I think Brage would fit in quite well with YT.

I see JJ and BK have unfollowed each other on insta. Suspect there has been some sort of fallout

Just now

Not that it hasn't been talked about to death already here, but im surprised Pon is rolling some people into cannondale after Bryceland was seen out on that older proto again for hardline. That bike seemed pretty legit and having Tyler and Brage on it might re-spark things for their MTB program. TBH, personally I've barely seen anything from Josh's crew on Cannondale, just the odd edit and video, where Brage and Tyler seem to put out less over all but more popular content. I do still wonder where Tyler will end up, he seemed to get along with the new Fury pretty well.
