Danny on a bike with "2 chains" - per Ed Masters, maybe Ed is trolling in his last vid.  What other than the Pivot Proto has 2 chains??

Hate to disappoint, he's definitely still riding the bike everyone has mentioned a million times at this point.

I'd be stoked if Jackson Frew got back on a WCDH team, he's had great results in Crankworx series.

Frew/Wallace rumor for WA1 has begun.

Updated list of moves and rumours. This time I separated it out into disciplines, which sadly shows how many top enduro racers are seemingly still without a team for 2024.

DOWNHILL:

Danny Hart leaves Cube Factory Racing. [Possibly on Nukeproof as a privateer]

Aaron Gwin leaves Intense Factory Racing. [Possibly on Yeti]

Brook MacDonald leaves MS Mondraker. [Probably on Forbidden]

Wyn Masters leaves GT Factory Racing. [Probably still sponsored by GT though I’d presume]

Hugo Marini leaves Commencal Muc-Off.

Dan Slack leaves Gravity School Racing. [Probably on Pole]

Tegan Cruz leaves Rockshox Trek.

Jon Mozell leaves Forbidden Synthesis 

Ollie Davis leaves Join The Union [Potentially on one of the many Commencal teams, most likely Commencal Schwalbe]

Aimi Kenyon leaves Pinkbike Racing [Currently riding a Trek, potentially on Unior Sinter]

Mark Wallace leaves Norco Factory Team [Possibly on We Are One]

Seth Sherlock leaves Intense Factory Racing [Possibly going wherever Gwin goes]

 

ENDURO:

Dan Wolfe leaves Polygon Factory Racing. [Retired from world cup racing, still sponsored by Polygon]

Cole Lucas leaves Ibis Racing. [Potentially no team secured, not racing world cups in 2024]

Katy Winton leaves GT Factory Racing. [Potentially no team secured]

Dimitri Tordo leaves Canyon. [Team secured, but currently unknown]

Bex Baraona leaves Yeti. [Potentially no team secured, has been borrowing various bikes to test, including a Scott, Nukeproof, Santa Cruz and Canyon]

Josh Carlson leaves Giant Factory Off-Road Team.

Greg Callaghan leaves Devinci Global Racing.

Evan Wall leaves Devinci Global Racing.

Matt Stuttard leaves Polygon Factory Racing.

Jack Menzies leaves Polygon Factory Racing.

Brady Stone leaves Polygon Factory Racing.

Morgane Jonnier leaves Rossignol. [Still riding Rossignol bikes and tagging them in Instagram posts though]

 

FREERIDE:

Kyle Strait leaves Vitus. [Possibly on Fezzari]

Thomas Genon leaves Canyon.

Graham Aggasiz leaves YT.

Ethan Nell leaves YT.

Ace Hayden leaves YT.

DJ Brandt leaves Nukeproof. [Potentially without frame sponsor for 2024]

About Aggy, One of his recent stories was teasing his new ride, and the frame layout did look very much like an Evil. Probably bach to them, then.

Are we allowed to talk XC in here?

Yes, of course. You might be ignored, but yes, all mountain bikes are allowed.

Are there any major or even minor xc moves?  I would assume most everyone was setup through 2024 due to Olympics
