Wynn did screen testing for discovery but won’t be doing the main job.
Blenki to Cube.
I know not technically racing but riders are getting upset with the scoring at rampage and there might be a lot less of them there next year. This is according to Davi on the ride companion talking to Andreu Lacondeguy
Anyone any insight into what’s happening with Gracie Hemstreet? What teams are missing a female rider?

Pretty sure I saw Bernard was in Athens on Insta. If Pivot is getting a new male rider, and Propain just folded their WC DH team, there is a good chance it could be Phil Atwill. I know Phil was not on the Propain factory team, but if they are folding one they might fold Propain Positive too. Phil on the Pivot team would be incredible...
Phil's also not a Propain Factory rider technically. He's on Propain Positive/Vee

Was Bernard Kerr's recent whirlwind trip to Greece to sign a certain expat Brit rider whose main bike sponsor just paused their racing program for 2023? Or is he just really into Souvlaki?
Phil is running his own program with support from Propain and a few others. Mind you it's only Propain Factory Racing who paused for 2023. Propain didn't just stop sponsoring riders altogether and Phil wasn't on the factory team.
Very unlikely that Phil is the new Pivot rider. That being said, if I had a bike brand and a racing team, I'd move heaven and earth to get him on my team. One of the most stylish riders around. Propain has done incredibly well signing him.
Jesse is posting a lot of highlights of the season in his Instagram stories. Kinda like he's reminiscing the season he had with rocky before moving on? Maybe? Just reminiscing?

It’s cold outside and it’s his job to put out content. While it seems Jesse is definitely on the move I wouldn’t look too much into riders putting together highlight reels in November/December.

"Today Caley Fretz, Dave Rome, Matt de Neef and Daniel Benson (Editor-in-Chief of VN) were let go. Plus lots of other staff (including Steve Brawley who has been with CT for years in sales) and others throughout the company. 12% in total.
What a clusterfcuk OutsideInc is. Robin Thurston has gotten his head over his skis and singlehandedly fcuked up dozens of good media publications in just 2 years.
Goodbye CT. It was good while it lasted."
Super bummed about this. Though CyclingTips focus was mostly road/gravel, their podcast Nerd Alert had amazing coverage of tech innovation - carbon recycling, additive mfg, supply chain deep-dives, all kinds of enlightening stuff, and a healthy (and entertaining) skepticism of “but it’s 3 watts faster!”. Cough, headset cable routing. Dave Rome’s tool obsessions are dorky in the best way. And most of them ride mountain bikes too. Hoping for good things for them in the future.
Did I miss any news about bad ass Gracey Hemstreet? the norco disbanding thing, etc? One of the best riding styles i've ever seen, hope she's taken care of.

She did post few days ago that she will be spending this winter in Wales and not at home in Fort William
She spent a lot of time up there last year as well - at one point when the rumours were about who Pivot was signing as a new female rider, I speculated it might be her as she was in several BK vlogs- shows how shit my speculation is!

Surprised no one has mentioned the red head in Whistler wearing a RedBull helmet and riding a Session, had me fooled until my kid pointed out that it wasn't a POC helmet.

I thought you would know seen as she has signed to be Vali's team mate
Disappointed that the (almost) last standing Outside website scooped "us".
Henrique Avancini has sold so many bikes for Cannondale, that he must have moved on of his own volition. Results don't sell necessarily bikes in Brasil, personality does (also cars and futbols) Red Bull did an in-depth media dive with him EVERY race. 90% of MTB fans probably think he was up front racing for the lead. Always a smart move to go out front and promote your brand, when you know you probably won't be in the camera shot at the end, (right, Haas F1?)
I wonder if that means Louise-Anna does not get a factory ride then or if they're going to have 2 podium-threat women?
Sorry maybe I missed something but I don't think Louise-Anna is a podium threat, yet. Though, I would say that it would be a great thing for her to have an experienced and proven athlete in Vero Widmann !! Would be great to have both tackling the WC circuit together !

Louise won Rotorua… by a pretty big margin. 21 secs in horrible conditions. she’s had plenty of wins in the past, so no doubt she knows how to pop a cork of a champagne bottle.

Is that Mikayla Parton in the Saracen new bike launch vid?
Could be and would make sense, as Veronika and Jordan will (might) leave. They have some open places and Mikayla is a local / UK rider.
Looks like Becci Skelton doing the no handler. Already sponsored by Saracen
I still reckon Mikayla Parton will be joining Atherton..
Wasn't there a rumor they were not racing this year? So I would not expect her to join them if she wants to race on a team.
Jesse waking up and seeing his coffee posts still getting attention weeks later on the vital forums
The 'Elon' effect.

You sure it didn’t just look like a session?
Marcello Guttierez without a Red Bull helmet in his latest appearance.
A quick instagram search tells me he's been without a redbull lid since January 2021

Veronika widmann on a "bombproof" deal
Source, please? Thanks!
She was in ireland to try the new bike
