Will he be with TFR? Perhaps replacing Muddy?

Orbea just dropped this teaser for their 2018 Enduro World Series team. Any guesses? Official announcement coming January 1 or 2.

why are you so sure that it's not anneke?

Well unless she's shrunk by a few inches and dyed her hair blonde then seems unlikely from the last scene before the fade to black.

Commencal Says Farewell to George Brannigan



Press Release: Ever since George AKA JoJo / GeoGeo / Georgio / GC (Good Clifford) joined the Commencal Vallnord DH Team two years ago, it's been nothing but good times, apart from those damned injuries... Heal up again soon bro!



It's always a pleasure to watch George riding a bike whether it's a DH, Enduro or an HT, he will always push himself and test his mad skills to the max. That, together with his professional and upbeat attitude are the reasons why he's one of the best! It was also great timing for us to have Kiwi George in NZ for the opening of COMMENCAL New Zealand. In fact, his 2016 World Champs frame design (his first custom Worlds frame ever) has been a great sales success around the world, so thanks for the inspiration G!



Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and it's time for us to say ciao to George and wish him luck with his future ventures. We can't wait to see his trademark looseness, massive airtime and simple passion for riding for many more years to come yet, whichever bike he's riding… And we’re already looking forward to hearing his flawless French accent around the pits next year!

Was in the process of posting these haha. Also not Just a Yeti but what looks to be a Yeti with suspension data stuff strapped to it.

Maybe this is why Richie Rude was constantly commenting on his posts on Instagram.

Is this speculation or is there some actual rumblings of this being true?

Im not sure about that one, usually the other rider with the Athertons is up and coming not a well established rider like brayton.

Like Marc Beaumont was?

Also, anybody know what casey Browns plans for next year are? I'd really love to see a team and her commit to a full season series, whether DH or EWS.

That is unless, she is truly where she wants to be; floating between disciplines and projects. She does seem to have a pretty fun looking schedule.

Maybe not the snake beaumount but Mudd and Vernon were fairly unknown to the general mtb masses.

I love CK, but is it weird if I keep picturing Melamed on Yeti? I mean, Jared coming back would be pretty sick too!

Too bad JM is racing for Rocky Mountain in 2018. He did state that some other bike companies wanted him, but he decided to stay with Rocky Mountain.

How about Lewis Buchanan riding for Yeti?

Where does Cody Kelley end up in 2018?
