didn‘t even see that… good look with 160 travel on todays DH tracks, maybe they use a different link, but that‘s not a topic for team...

What if he will be on a different frame at the start until the new Unno DH Frame arrives?
I can't imagine Angel doing proper pre-season testing on an enduro frame with enduro parts and a Fox 40... Even if that would be his setup for the start I'm sure they would put together a full DH spec bike...
They have a big presence in the E-EWS, I imagine Polini (motorsports components brand and now ebike motor brand) and Fulgur are pretty much the same entity.
Marco Melandri (competed against and beat Valentino Rossi in MotoGP) was their figurehead, but I think he was doing it more for fun than serious racing as he raced in the ews-100 series, effectively the amateur league, trashing us all. He would have been around midpack in the pros.
They signed Florian Nicolai and Melanie Pugin who will be pretty serious contenders in the electric realm, although Flo has been racing on the non-motorised bike at regional races (not sure if it is a training strategy or what his goals are this year). I know Ebikes are not the coolest aspect of the sport, but having a crazy talented rider on one and him not having to worry so much about fitness could be pretty interesting.
My notables in that list - Dan & Rachel racing with Athertons, Christo Gallagher racing with Orange Factory Racing, Alex Fayolle with GasGas Motorex Racing, Marco...

Weren't the 3 Atherton siblings also listed last year (and the year before, I think)?
Didn't he have a major concussion with complications afterwards?
At least that's what I remember.
I guess that's what was meant by the TBI. As far as I remember he had a concussion and the post-concussion symptoms never went away or something along those lines. If it's still the case, it sucks hard.

some Australian dude did pretty well at Fort William, last year, on an "enduro" bike
I wasn’t able to get a photo (bad phone, not because I was told no photo) but the Pivot boys were getting around Queenstown Bike Park this afternoon on a new CNC lugged downhill bike with carbon tubing.
Not sure if this counts as team rumours or tech news so will post in both.

Chris Ball reveals all - on Downtime Podcast released today, apparently..

You are right. Dan was always listed as an active team member.

True, but if a dedicated DH bike from said company allowed him to be even one percent faster, that Austrian would have finish 14th instead of 30th.
Got this one right 😎
Think he is a good fit on this team!

He finished 18th actually, not too bad...
They do have a dedicated dh bike now
Haha, he's only 40 - maybe he found his retirement sport?
Looks like he's on Transition Factory Racing
Mikayla Parton off trek , looks like she’s going to Atherton -
On the UCI list she's on Resolute Racing

Yes confirmed on the UCI list
https://www.uci.org/rider-details/622651
Confirmed by their Instagram 😅
beyond racing has evan turpen on the team list. will they be riding the bike he designed?
Heard from a friend, he’s probably not racing ever again. His head isn’t there
Might mean something or might mean nothing, but miranda commented this on sc syndicates latest post……
New presenter for Wyn TV!
got grice on the line before his gen S announcement. he talks about the move
Man, that's too bad. His 2019 season was great until that big off.
I hope he's past the TBI and able to do great things with his life.
Honestly, he probably just bypassed a huge risk/low reward situation in opting out of a pro DH career.
Kate Courtney took 1st at the Western Cape XCO Cup. Excellent way to start the season 🤘
New Mondraker rider will be announced tomorrow!
Looks like a stylish jumper on vans!!

Rob Warner back to Giant
Jack Moir officially riding Fox Racing in 2023 and beyond but will only be rocking helmets and guards.
Who knows anything on Keegan wright? He was a great rider back in 2018-20, he's been struggling to find teams this past years...
