Oliver Zwar of The Union.

2023 update coming soon according to IG. Any ideas? 

He might have a dream he wants to follow 🤷🏽‍♂️

Not a racing team change, but Dan Paley (DnnySoldier on insta) off santa cruz from his instagram stories/post looks like he might have been left high and dry by them. Loosedog also announced he was off santa cruz a couple weeks ago, wonder if theyve heavily cut down on non-racers?

No posts from craig evans or sam dale so for now assuming they are still riding for SC 

The exodus has not yet ended.

Looks like Kyle Strait off Commencal based on his most recent SM post.

The Kyle Strait post could technically be just a thank you and more of the same kinda post. The way he worded it did get the internet to speak about him, clearly.

I wonder if LooseDog and others are just moving across brands to GT? Maybe a better fit for both sides?

I will start a totally baseless rumor that the whole 50to01 crew is going to switch to Cotic in an effort To support a UK brand.

Santa Cruz and many other brands certainly are cutting back on lifstylers instagrammers freeracers what ever you want to call them.

Reece Wallace off Muc-Off?  

Reece Wallace off Muc-Off?

 

This could be legit to be fair, I’ve a friend who works for muc-off and said they’ve recently laid some people off for financial reasons. They also dropped Lando Steezy (instagrammer/influencer type) a couple of months back and he put a bit of a bitchy post on SM - deleted but I found a screenshot from the time… he seemed pretty pissed.

If it’s not Cotic.. that group of riders to help shine the light on a lot of great small bike brands.

 Polygon adding Jack Menzies to the team and 23 Degrees/Martin Whiteley will be handling management.

I wonder if all the riders will end up on matching running gear eventually? They all had their own component set up last year didn’t they?

Like how Specialized dropped the entire ambassador program, including people with multi-year paid contracts.

People that work in the bike industry are *hitting bricks right now. The "fringe employees" are the first to go, the real employees will follow.
