And Mondraker have Lori, Brook and Eleonora (and Mike Jones? Anybody knows if he's still got a contract?), don't think they'll be looking to add another big salary.
On another note, if Vali goes to Spesh, they may as well rename themselves Specialized Red Bull Republic, don't think I'd have ever seen such a high concentration of sugary drinks on one team.
I think it was meant both as in Angel and Mondraker.

Mike Jones is officially off Mondraker! About the French Canadian youtubers I'd see Barelli on local brand/shop relationship and Rémi M. on bigger (mainstream) brand, giant, gt...? YT??

Very curious about Giant for 2021. With Marcelo already gone and Eliot now off the team as well, are they supporting any factory DH riders besides Jacob Dickson? Doesn't seem like there are many " _____ to Giant" rumors out there... Perhaps they're concentrating more on their road sponsorships (or on national/regional level athletes)?
It's strange that they don't even have much of a presence in XCO, an Olympic event in an Olympic year hosted by next-door neighbors Japan.
I think the issue with Giant is that they aren't a good marketing company.. They don't pay out for potentially higher profile riders and when they have popular riders like Barelli and Jackson, they don't use them well.. And, the Glory hasn't been a competitive platform since Danny Hart..
If I were them, I would try to spend some money to get a couple of good XC and Enduro racers that could help bring the brand into a competitive limelight.. Then decide if the Glory gets revamped or put out to pasture..
However, I think Giant is content with making decent bikes that sell on value more than marketing hype..

Matthew Sterling seems like a promising junior for Giant Factory, wonder what's in his future with them.

I think Giant is content with having a rider until the rider gets a better offer.. But, with 2020 being an abbreviated season and 2021 looks to be following suit, it won't surprise me to see Giant cut way back on sponsorship.

Well, Giant is the biggest manufacturer in the world.
(of decent bikes, is you skip Chinese or Indian cheap Walmart-like bike makers)
They make frames for Giant and at least a dozen of well known brands. Then add the current global situation when you have to wait for some OEM parts up to 500 days and I think they are just flat out making frames. Brand awareness is not so important when you cant get enough bikes to supply the demand.
I think..
Probably find that most pro riders will be self employed given their “contractor” status so keeping good books will pay dividends with their tax returns to HMRC or whoever their tax agency is.

Giant, at least here in Australia support a LOT of riders and athletes. Lot's of endorsement type deals for athletes of other sports to ride their bikes, but they support a lot of Juniors and up and coming racers here. It's commendable stuff actually.
It seems they are not throwing all their $$ into a racer(s) but rather distributing it at a grassroots level and helping a lot of youngsters reach their potential in a relatively expensive sport.
there are post/view counts on the forum. i love the crowd in this forum. they are civil, knowledgable and calculated. please do not respond to this reply, let the team rumors carry on w/o these distractions.

Do you have proof of this? Would love to know if that’s true. Same for how many frames other pro’s break in a season. Yes, I know, everything breaks (I have broken almost every frame I’ve owned).
I do have proof. I'm in no way going to out myself or anyone else so not a f*¢¥ing chance I'm gonna prove it to you haha. But yes many cube frames were harmed in the making of that film lol.
Also has this note about Ethan Shandro. Hopefully he can come back strong for 2022:
Ethan Shandro, who was unable to race 2020, will step back from the team in 2021 as he recovers from concussion symptoms. Trek will continue to support Ethan as he works towards a return to full-time racing.
