My guess would be Trek. She’s part of the gang in North Wales that includes Kade Edwards. Charlie Harrison retired leaving a gap and it’s pretty rubbish that one of the world biggest bike brands doesn’t have a female rider on its roster (also looking at you Specialized)

FYI - Specialized Gravity is not a factory team owned or managed by Specialized the brand.  They are a private, French team managed by Laurent Delorme. If you want to see more female athletes on Specialized Gravity, let him know.

You’re right and it’s great that these brands have the depth and finances to support multiple or feeder teams. 
 

Anyway back to rumours. If that means Micayla Gatto is on YT, is she back racing world cups?

Estaque, frix frix, and Mille. Maybe one other rider. Basically the same team as last year with a new title/co-title sponsor. Can’t see estaque and frixalton not being on commencal frames, and mille was with estaque training when she got hurt recently. Makes the most sense to me. 

They have changed title sponsor before multiple times. This seems to be a bigger shift, as they have posted about the team shitting down. I’d be surprised if they’d do that just for losing 100%.

Think this is the worst kept secret this year but, on the latest episode of the Bernard Kerr LSD, he lets slip Jack Moir is in Guilford, England.

Not entirely sure why an enduro world champion would go to a bike brand based on then releasing a 150mm ‘trail bike’?

 

surely he’d be more interested in the Ransom which is their dedicated enduro race bike.

Yeah - his mother was at an uplift day a while back and all of the dads were falling over each other to help her out (I think he was too young at the time to be unaccompanied).

On a different note, surprised that Jordan Williams to Specialized hasn't been announced yet - I've heard it's been a done deal for weeks.

Wasn’t Commencal 100 manager the one who was a part of the pierron n word controversy?  I’d imagine a lot of sponsors were not happy and perhaps were not willing to renew contracts.

Yeah, Pierron went for a "sensitivity" training camp with Monster energy at the Hungarian f1 GP with Mercedes. That solved the problem

Definitely not.

She's a lifestyle "athlete" now. Between her coors light sponsorship, ford bronco deal and her painting work, There's no need to head back to racing.

I have chatted with her before. HEr view of the racing world and the toxic behavior from sponsors made it feel she really had no interest heading back between the tape.

It was the Commencal '21 team manager. Muc-off pulled their sponsorship immediately and the team ended up dissolving after the 2021 season. Thats how Angel Suarez ended up on Commencal/100%.

I'm going to go camp out on South Mountain and see what I can find. Geronimo laps yesterday just a few miles from the Pivot HQ. Fox has a presence in Phoenix now too, though it sounds like he's off Fox from the goodbye post the other day.

Kmc Orbea don't exist anymore, it's Orbea Factory Team and she's not in. Plus, Malene wrote a piece some weeks ago toi thanks Orbea. I wonder were she's going... Maybe Lapierre is back in XC with Sram and Mavic at least !

Yeah she was a racer, Fionn Griffiths was one of the top female riders, a class act on the bike and off with a real passion for the sport.

She put a lot into the British scene, as well as racing she also ran race teams. I think she also use to be managed by Martin Whiteley at one point.

Yeah I remember her. Great rider! checked her Instagram page, still seems to be riding. No post about having a kid, must keep that stuff private. Good on him and the rest of the team for getting signed, they be in good hands with Matt as their coach.

That’s because she’s not his mum.
