I really wonder about all the suspense surrounding Gwin's announcement, makes me think it 100% can't be Intense at the very least. I don't see a reason why he would wait THIS long to announce that he's keeping everything exactly the same, unless he is a real big drama queen or something. 

It must be a big change, I called it weeks ago and sticking with my first guess. HAS to be Yeti, I bet they are itching to take over the DH scene in the USA again.

Probably he hasn´t wrapped up a deal yet.

I don't know if you have all heard, but it looks like Danny Hart's riding a Nukeproof. Wild. Could not have seen it coming the last few months 😂

Is he protesting something by running his # plate upside down?

State of the bike industry is in distress.

Being some what real for a moment, with Aaron possibly wrapping up something so late in the season, and Dak saying he knew early on about Intense not continuing and looking elsewhere, do you think Gwin may have gotten bitten by the US nukeproof situation? That time of year they may have had something sorted by the CRC disaster may have sunk that deal before it even popped up.

Gwin is going to Giant to help push the Dick's Sporting Goods contract.

Team Giant Dick's coming to a WC near you!

We've already seen Dick Pound, so why not Giant Dicks?

Yesh, I guess it will be Nukeproof for Danny. Gwin will probably be riding Golden Balls Bicycles

They'll be training hard so they can put on a big spurt at the finish.

Their marketing department thought long and hard about how to word this press release.

Not a rumor or much of a secret, but Sean Leader and Southern Gravity unveiled their frames in recent Instagram posts. I know Charlie Profile and Jack Pederson are racing for him as well as a couple of others, I believe.

Taking the temperature of the room on AG’s frame deal. 

I am less interested today than I was 1 month ago.

I am still interested, definitely less than I was when we were in the thick of the announcements, though. At this point, let’s just get it over with. I have a feeling it will end up being pretty anticlimactic. My bets are on GT with a bunch of hubbub about how he used to ride them as a kid in the BMX days, Fezarri because of the paycheck and a hand in developing the DH bike we saw last season, or most boring… sticking with Intense and taking the first steps towards their North American development program they mentioned many moons ago.

I don't know what it is, I cant put my finger on it but it really feels like Dak is gonna do some damage this year.

Im stoked AG is racing. I'm interested to see what frame, but its not like my life hinges on it. 

One interesting thing about this season is that we're seeing a lot of up-and-coming great riders settling into established teams or well developed bikes. Despite the Demo Prototype being the most dramatic project entering into this season, it isn't really "new". We saw how successful it was last year. 

Are there any "new" bikes with podium contender riders on them on teams that will actually do the entire season?

Seth Sherlock is on an Intense M1 in this video. Isn't he riding on Gwin's team? If you pause it at 1:57 in, looks like the new M1. Not sure if this has been covered or not, but it would make a lot of sense for them to continue racing that bike. Really dig the way that thing looks as well.

Just because Sherlock is riding the bike he's kept since last year doesn't necessarily mean that is the frame partner going forward into the season, but it's a pretty good indicator. We're still what, 3 months till Ft Bill?
