Gwin is going to end up where he can buy into it and management like at Intense

That’s right away going to cut out certain teams. It’ll be interesting to find out what he can do for running his program 

That could be Yeti.

 

By all signs they aren't fielding a DH team this season, but it seems to be in the future. Gwin could be a one man show on the WC scene, with some guest appearances by RR and maybe a Jr or two. He could help with dialing in the new bike, and then be in more of a management/ownership position next year with a full Yeti Factory Team.

 

Gwin has strong ties with Yeti since Houseman first set him up with them to start his career, and Yeti was always a team for the up and coming US riders and developing juniors. That could fit in nicely with GwinRock as well since the South East DH scene is stacked with young rippers.

Carry on.

Less freckles due to fall/winter but that looks like him.  Also, I think he’s talked about using a whoop in his recent podcasts.

Yeah I'll admit I zoomed in on both and matched some key freckles on both hands. Some are not as prominent in the mondraker photo but I'm 99% sure it's him. ... the whole process felt weird as hell haha.

Yes, key freckles line up. Excellent work finding this!

Not the hero we wanted.  The hero we needed. 
 

I hope Dak is laughing his ass off no matter what.

In a big turn of events, Dak turns to international hand modeling and quits racing to protect the valuable hands.

I heard an otherwise off limits team might have two very big name riders next year...

Personally, I don't know if this is 100% true but I heard it through the grapevine of top riders, and if it is true then we are in for a wild few years of rider mix ups and possibly smaller/not dominant brands getting really good results

With the MS Intense Team lineup announced, that puts Gwin on Yeti or Trek.
Since he lived with the Yeti folks in Colorado during his come uppance, I'm voting Yeti.
Deep inside, I want to be stunned by a full factory Trek Gwinner doing stupid crazy laps with Loris and Reeco.

Now that I typed that out, it's gotta be A.A. Ron & Rico Rudiculous on Team Yeet-E.

 

I think a huge reason for Yeti in the beginning was Houseman’s connection to Yeti

I think OnOff is Mondraker's house brand of components, is it not? Their address is Mondraker HQ.

I've seen that Seinfeld episode. 

Dak, stay away from any irons!

Ahhhhh interesting. ONOFF does/did not appear on the team sponsor graphic that was posted on Vital, the Pink site, nor the MFR Instagram (the places I checked before posting earlier). Must be recent update, hence them added at the bottom of that photo... Or did you mock that up? haha I can't access the MFG team page from the US to look---it's giving me a country error.

No mock up, I promise.  Just a curious bystander (like most but not all) here.  Using an IPhone 7 if that makes me more believable.

Drop some names, this is the least fruitful rumor I’ve ever read
