"There upon the cliff he stood, a ruby on his finger and a crown on his head,
The armada turned and fled,
For his sword was won from a foe in the battle for Christendom;
Rolling the dice,
The time to land a six and depart the table had come;
To the south and the rolling hills, a beast bred for fighting great things were promised but an conquistador knocking at his door opened new horizons;
A chasm he could not bridge,
His loss turned to gain as he headed into the hills under his own steam;
The sound of the BDA was strong, his ears rang, it was a calling he must ignore for a year yet;
Mild mannered yet wild, an honorary prince for over 700 days, skies of granite for a change to sand and sky allured.
A memory to honour, a union forged by a workmens friend,
The return is nigh."

This sounds like Danny Hart to YT in place of Gwin. Danny's dog is named Ruby. Christendom would have to be Gwin, but that seems way to crazy to be true

I think your spot on with the last three. Gwin is on going into his third year of a three year contract though so I don't see him going anywhere. Hart to Saracen seems pretty confirmed at this point too...

"Rolling the dice,

So... i was talking to someone who is definitly in the know, and the athertons are off trek, i got told where they were going but that's a yarn for another day, but it will just be rach and gee. The rest of the team are on the market.
And that gwin is off yt and back on trek. Allegedly Yt have proven they have a race winning bike, and are pulling the pin on WC DHI racing.
You can quote me as the oracle in a few months time when its all out of the woodwork... ?
"The sound of the BDA was strong, his ears rang, it was a calling he must ignore for a year yet;"
Gee has to get through one more year before retiring to rally cars (BDA = Ford escort rally cars of the 70's)
Rumblings of change over at YT? What is Neko up to? Could Brook + Gwin + Neko all go back to Trek? Neko appears to be getting his hands in the mix for US DH ProGRT + US Open. Maybe Neko is the steering linchpin for YT to step in and bring US DH national + grassroots racing back to the front? Having proven the YT chops at World Cup level is it time to step into the national level by having a part in the series here?
FOX Racing, i.e. the clothing supplier. Which is shared with Loris and the Seagrave family. Which were all posted by Tahnee (both the pull-up-off of Loic and Loris and a picture of them together on the beach).

Yea that worked so well. The ProGRT just basically became the ProNW series + windrock. #USACHATESYOU

Just here to clarify that the PGRT schedule is Windrock, TN; Port Angeles, WA; Mountain Creek, NJ; Tamarac, ID; Snow Shoe, WV (Champs); Windham,NY; Mammoth, CA.
Likely the best scheduling we've seen in recent memory, with a dedicated crew of race promoters who want to see American DH succeed. Neko Mulally met with USAC in October and had a very productive time offering guidance.
PSA over, you can now return to wildly speculating about '18 (we should have a bingo-style pool to see who is correct once all the contracts are signed).
It would also make sense for Blenki to go back to specialized with good buddy Loic.
looks like there will be some changes, maybe a new sponsor to the Rocky Team or maybe just a Rocky Mountain Factory team in the EWS.

Any guesses..

Gwin has won the World Cup overall 5 times.
And that gwin is off yt and back on trek. Allegedly Yt have proven they have a race winning bike, and are pulling the pin on WC DHI racing.

Bruni off öhlins?
Brook to Mondraker
Angel Suarez on what looks like a rockshox pike dj. Maybe he or the entire team will be on rockshox.
Sounds like Neko might be pretty happy with the YT...
