Gt on Michelin, wyntv episode to come with Michelin tires testing...it confirms that early photo of Noga

Saw Martin Maes running a Michelin up front too so that makes sense.

Lew Buchanan dropping hints. I believe both GT and YT have used the "Good Times" tag phrase in the past. [img]https://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/forums/2021/01/01/10262/s1200_Screenshot_20210101_113758_Instagram.jpg[/img]

Wouldn’t put too much thought into that phrase Smile
It‘s still a very common saying that YT uses for their brand but isn‘t „created“ by them

Make sense, When both Noga & Martin hints the Michelin rubber. And what i can tell is the front wheel you can see the first letters of Maxxis?. So YT it is?.

Lew Buchanan looks changing only the frame, and masked photos didn't have the shape of a yt.

You can just about make out some cable coming from the top tube at the seat tube end and It really just looks looks like he has covered up the larger travel black forbidden. Nigel page has been staying in Innerleithen over Christmas and New Year, could he have been sorting out a deal with a rider in the Tweed Valley?

@jobbyface saw the same and thought that’s a forbidden, remembering back he was running black stanchions early in the year.

In another blurred out photo Lewis posted on Instagram the bike looked to me a fair bit like that high pivot Cannondale that's in the works. It even looked like he blurred where the piggy back on the shock pokes out of the down tube.

with all the respect to Lew, I doubt Nigel Page went away from family in xmas to sort out a contract with Lew Buchanan...
probably Nigel went there to visit someone, spend his xmas over there, riding or whatever he wanted to do..
on the other hand..this is the negative point of riders becoming youtubers..no announcements until they have enough content for the next YouTube video...he is milking the masked photos already...

I was comparing the photos to that exact prototype and it doesn’t match up. I don’t think a single one of his blurred photos have been legit as they all seem to just be his forbidden prototype when you look close

Also announcing the move to Alpinestars Helmets off Bell.

Wyn's bike also setup with OneUp cockpit compared to the RaceFace stuff he used to run. Ethan still had a RF bar.

Specialized was on Fox last year for eyewear and clothing. So either the team changed to match Vali, she is going somewhere besides specialized or staying put with a new frame sponsor.

Loic is on 100% for eyewear.
True. I was looking at the Specialized Gravity team's Facebook page before I posted, and none of the Bruni photos I saw had a good view of his google strap. Most had his arm covering them. All the pics with a clear view of a google strap were of Finn or Grice and they had Fox Googles. I'm guessing the team is sponsored by Fox for eyewear, but Bruni was able to keep 100% from his pre-specailized days.

Angel on SCS? Or any new Team running Burgtec? That's 100% him and his picture! [img]https://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/forums/2021/01/01/10269/s1200_Screenshot_20210102_034428.jpg[/img]

I don't think so, at least no the syndicate. If you look close the crown looks silver to me + he doesn't have enve wheels. Maybe it's cannondale. Ratboy has been running burgtec stuff and maybe that is a new downhill bike or something. Final thing the brakes look to be the hayes dominion brakes, and that may narrow it down a little as well.
