There had been some speculation already, but now it's confirmed: Graeme Mudd is off Trek. Official word from the team:
The Christmas festivities at TFRDH are tinged with sadness this week as we bid a fond farewell to our favourite Aussie and 2017 team-mate Graeme Mudd.
Team Director Dan Brown said “It was a fun year with Muddy on board, he fitted into the family with ease. Full credit to him for embracing the Welsh weather and pushing so hard in his quest for top performances. We wish him all the best in his future racing endeavours and welcome him in the pits at any time for nice cup of tea!”
Muddy is currently at home with his family in Newcastle Australia from where he’s sending his freezing team-mates lots of scorching beach pictures!
Muddy said “These guys did so much for me this year, At the beginning of 2017 I said it was a dream come true and that stands, I’ve had a fantastic time and learnt a lot but for all kinds of reasons things just didn’t line up in terms of results. It was rad racing this year in a team environment, sharing the experience, I loved hanging out at the finish watching the other TFRDH amigos come down and seeing what they could do. And then having a beer and talking about the week at "work". I’ll definitely be paying them some visits.”
A couple of snaps from Sven Martin to mark the occasion:
Martin did mention it was an old logo from 2015 on the comments when asked.
If he is going back to a former team, my guess would be Mondraker. Seems like they would have some funds available if all the Hart/Saracen rumors are true.

I am not sure Oakley would be thrilled with Greg partnering with 100%.
how is it any different than any other helmet or clothing sponsor? many racers split clothing, protection & eyewear sponsors between brands that make 1, 2 or all 3 of those products.

TLD, FOX and O’Neal are not in direct competition with Oakley when it comes to eyewear like 100% is. Especially goggles. Greg has been with Oakley a long time and with Oakley losing a high profile rider like Peter Sagan to 100%, Greg would know the implications of wearing a 100% helmet. I know if I was Greg’s contact at Oakley, he would be well aware of that conflict.

Martin speaks about podiums. I guess the win he had with Mondraker is a sign.

Heard they will go ahead with Something new for Enduro.
Well i guess it's not the case since they seem to stay with the DH program...
So where to take the money for a bigger enduro squad? If so then maybe Norco is the reason for the IBIS-Gehrig divorce and will sponsor the twins with frames?

I could imagine the Gerhig twins to go with a brand based in Switzerland. Maybe BMC or Scott?
What are the chances of Charlie Hatton moving to the full factory squad after this year's performances? Joe Breeden filling his boots in Elites for 2018

Look at the bigger sponsorship picture boys and girls. It would signal a big rif if Greg is wearing a 100% helmet
