Greg Williamson was riding a pivot bike in one of his Insta stories but is now in cape town with the Cannondale crew?
That making up the numbers pod mentioned Greg on Madison Saracen

He rode one of Nekos bike at the Rock Creek DHSE. It would be cool to see him join that team or by the time he is ready for the WC Neko is also ready to bring in riders.
Nice, that would be awesome for US DH.
If he stays on track there could be some 2011-2012 Gwin level WC dominance, the kid is faaaaast! If the WC is still around in a few years that is....
PB relaying a press release from Pivot that Jakob Jewett has joined Pivot. It also puts to bed any rumours on the rest of the team i.e. Kerr:
"Jake has signed to the Pivot Factory Racing team for 2023 and will join Bernard Kerr and Jenna Hastings for a full downhill World Cup and Crankworx season. The likes of Ed Masters, Matt Walker and Morgane Charre will continue to mix their way into World Cup DH and Crankworx racing when they aren’t stepping onto Enduro World Series podiums."

Having more fun with the Jesse rumors, especially since he reads these
. He’s posting that he’s on a flight, normally he is home skiing all winter, where could he be going? Joining all the other Canyon athletes at their big gathering in Kempten or Troy and Luca at Fabian’s place in Italy? Jack is noticeably absent from this gathering.

Have not seen Mark Wallace in the videos, or posting much recently. Wonder if he is the WC veteran going to Norco?

While i'd be stoked to see him stay with Canyon to keep pushing with that program, it would be rad for him to be charging on a Canadian brand's bike again.

Jesse is in Phoenix, AZ. Coincidentally, the whole Pivot team is currently in Arizona as well.

Specialized dropped all their ambassadors this morning. Pretty wild move, and kind of a bummer. They helped support a lot of people, and really bad timing for those riders trying to find something for next year.

There's always gravel, where they can race without racing as a sponsored rider until the grvl fad passes - which it will.
Isn't ambassador just another name for influencer?
Marketing budgets are toast across many industries currently. If your income is dependent on ad sales, time to diversify your portfolio, yo.

Pretty much in-line with going consumer direct and then raising all the prices.
Speshy lives for screwing people over and making more $ in the process.

I wonder if the cancellation will affect some of the grassroots riders - locally, we've got quite a few trail builders that were supported by Specialized.
Yea the thing about the specialized ambassador program was they supported a lot more than just influencers, some of their ambassadors don’t even have social media. As mentioned above, they supported a lot of trail builders. I actually thought some of the people they supported was one of the only cool things about specialized.

Would Cody Kelly fall under this? Trying to think of some of the spesh folks that rip.

Cody is on the Specialized Enduro Team, so it shouldn't affect him. Someone like Jacob Lingemann might be affected, but I doubt it as he's a pretty valuable "property" right now.

Odd they're just now putting out a press release since they announced it over a week ago:

Josh Lewis and Santa Cruz splitting up:
He must be headed to Cannondale, no?
Seems the most likely (although I could also see him on Marin)

Bernard Kerr's latest vlog seems to introduce three new members on the team. A pair of brothers and a new junior woman. Oh and Morgane Char? Chare?

Morgane Charre has been on the team for a while, she got 2nd overall in the EWS this year: https://www.enduroworldseries.com/rankings/riders/

I was going to post this but didn’t want to sound tooooo crazy.
Honestly, he’s probably just going to Sedona or something.
....or trolling Team Rumors...
jesse‘s that guy who flys to arizona just to troll us all
If I recall correctly he’s traveled down there the past few winters to do a ton of road base miles
No sign of Evie at the Trek XC camp last week. Hope she’s doing alright and recovering well.

What's up with Mariana Salazar? She's alluding to something with her body in an insta story.
And doesn't Evie have a contract with Trek for a few years?

Who exactly are the affected ambassadors? The lines between sponsored racer, ambassador, influencer, etc have always seemed a tad blurry to me.

Making Up the Numbers podcast said Salazar is battling cancer and undergoing chemo?
Oh, jeez, yes indeed: https://www.facebook.com/ManaSalazar/
I hope she has all the support and help she needs.
