I wonder why, it's pretty unusual for folks to leave/not get renewed isn't it?
I happen to be friends with one of the first Red Bull sponsored mountain bike athletes, at that time, you were considered a Red Bull Athlete for life. My friend still gets Redbull helmets to this day and she hasn't raced professionally for almost 20 years. I have no idea if she is still compensated or just considered a sponsored athlete. I think once there began to be a lot more RB athletes they went to the more traditional "contracts" with specified lengths and could be renewed. For example, I think Brook Macdonald just announced a few weeks ago that his RB contract was renewed.
Important to note that this list from UCI is incomplete. Look up Frameworks for example, it is just Neko and Colin. Bex is still on Yeti as a rider. This is not unusual, the UCI list is often wrong. Either they didn't update it properly (likely) or some teams are not completely settled yet.
Some changes for the Canyon Collective Enduro Team:
- Gloria Scarsi moves from the Pirelli team to the factory team
- Jack Menzies has moved from the (now finished) Polygon team onto Canyon
- Mr. Bomba has re-signed to Canyon, but onto the e-bike team. I'm sure he posted back in December that he was moving on, but the post has since been deleted...

Berrecloth was on Red Bull early and was off as of a couple of years ago. Anthony Messere was only on RB for 2 or 3 years. FWIW Bearclaw said "...it’s time to pass the torch to the next generation and hang up my @redbull helmet." Not sure why he would opt for less sponsorship dollars if indeed it was his choice; maybe he switched to water?

Pretty sure Lacondeguy gave his RB helmet back too.
I tried to look for the deadline to register a team for 2024, but had no luck. Does anyone know if that has already passed for the 2024 season? If not, when is it? Maybe Gwinn has his own team that he just hasn’t registered yet so that it won’t get announced ahead of his timeline?

That's awesome!
Gwin has no 2024 team listed.
New "BNC Racing" team with a load of privateer Brits - presumably a joint effort to form an elite team?

No Sam Hill on the list …….

DIMITRI TORDO: COMMENCAL ENDURO PROJECT
we like dat sheet!
What is this?

If it's not an error, it might be a way for Kade to stay on the WC circuit should he want to do the odd race. Same frame/suspension sponsor?

Poppin in here this morning...
Y’all should listen to the Inside Line with the Union. It’s explained in there.
This was talked about in the inside line episode with steel city media’s Joe Bowman and the man the myth the legend, Spomer

If Danny's on Continental Nukeproof, we're in dire need of a knee analysis for this one ;-)
Good to hear, obviously I missed the official announcement..
Now we just need an announcement as to where World Cups can be streamed in Canada.
Pivot Factory shows all their riders as DH except for one EDR-E.
Where is Jack Moir? No Sam Hill either... retired?

Jack is listed on the YT Mob team page.

Jon mozell not jack mozell 👍
Bell Media or Rogers should do a deal with discovery to stream content in Canada 🇨🇦
The CBC has become unrelevent. when I grew up, CBC had tons of sports , now nothing
Pretty sure Lacondeguy gave his RB helmet back too.
