I don't get the downvotes for this, its team rumors, not team news, that's for Jan 1 and One Ghost is teasing some stuff until then to make people question stuff. If he just said everything, he'd stop getting the info to do so.

These threads have been, in the past, for cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. Have fun with it and don't be so frickin serious, silly season on here used to actually be silly and everyone's making it out to be such a grind the last 2-3 seasons. Make some shit up and enjoy it. Give people some stuff to figure out. Have fun. Tell me who's on Huffy and make me believe it.

you don‘t seem to get it! it‘s not that no one is giving solid info, would love to have puzzles to figure out like the years prior.

it‘s the repeating „i know more than you but not gonna tell, lalala…“ from ghost that‘s annoying a lot of people in here.

if you scroll back at least a couple pages you‘ll see that people are still speculating and no one‘s crying that he want‘s it all now! but hey, some people these days can‘t even read a couple of pages Wink

now back to rumors/speculation ✌️

Sparkle fired her coach. Saying nice things now. But what if it soon becomes obvious, about all the stories that NOBODY goes to the Olympics unless they are this guys Pet Project?

Looks like she hired https://www.barryaustincycling.com/ based on her most recent story

Austin has/does coach a number of top XC riders, so an 'easy' option in that Kate isn't taking a big risk. Changing coaches is always a step into the unknown, so going with someone who coaches others at a top level is an easier call than going with someone who doesn't. 

Will be interesting to see how she goes in 2024 after this change. Some riders need that coach change as they plateau and a reset helps.

The thing is you're not making it fun. 

As mentioned above....in the past reamtumors and this thread had drawings, cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. You're in fact adding nothing intellectual, insightful or entertaining. Child's play. But again, you know and we don't. You must sleep so good at night.

Perhaps the guy from FSA who handles MTB teams commenting that he knows may give you a clue... or maybe it doesn't...

Could Pinkie be starring in a Canadian horror movie sequel about some individuals trapped in a labyrinth? Or maybe he'll be going to help a particularly orange past american president with wildfire suppression activities on a different body in our solar system? Join a brand started by a screaming hand? I sure hope he lands in just the right place after gapping the winter off-season.

Not a rumor, but a guess.  Ibis changes nothing on supporting the 31 XC team, and continues to support, maybe even steps it up.

Ibis Enduro, I'm worried for the factory Enduro team. I think in an Olympic year, the money has to be spent on former Olympic champions, and if money is needed it will have to be taken from the dead end that UCI has created

Isn't it basically confirmed Ibis enduro team is no more? I don't know what's real and what's a rumor anymore...

Bright and white wings.. flutter across the Atlantic. A new home with familiar faces. A new frame of reference, ready to work.

That's a left field one. They were teammates with Neko on YT, right?

Could also be a more subtle hint to MS (ex-Mondraker) Racing (wings in their Logo, from Austria / RedBull connection) going to Intense (new bike seems to work well, their Programm has been on Intense frames in the past)

Angels have bright and white wings. And a new frame of reference, ready for work -> frameworks.

That's got to be it. His mechanic is on the team and Martin mentioned that they were in negotiations with a rider who has podiumed. Angel has a 3rd place finish.

If not Angel, i wonder if Charlie Harrison could be making comeback. He was testing with fox factory at crestline this week on the frameworks bike. I know he’s giving neko feedback, but slightly surprising he’d be out testing with fox if he wasn’t racing. Jackson was also out there, so it wasn’t like they were testing with non-racers. 
 

Charlie seems to be enjoying his retirement, so maybe not, but would be cool to see him back out there.

It would be crazy with the cost increases for WC teams, etc if Neko and little Frameworks could have signed and supported a rider like Suarez. Maybe Whiteley is working some "contract magic", or secured an outside sponsor.

With Asa in Jrs, and Angel in elites there could be Frameworks podiums in both classes. That would be insane for a brand that has sold about 60 frames to date!

Going to be an interesting year.

Didn't he say in the Making Up The Numbers Podcast that they were talking with a potential sponsor from outside the industry? Maybe they've made it happen.

Seems like Gwin / Intense rumors are true. Between the clip that was posted with Stebber talking and Gwin’s interview with Downtime Podcast, it seems his team is looking. I was hearing some remorse from Gwin in not ever having the chance to put the new M1 to the ultimate test. 
 

The stuff about Dak leaving or not, it seems like Gwin personally help fulfill the costs of Dak joining the program. Pending what frame sponsorship looks like for IFR or whatever the I becomes, I think Dak will leave or stay. I think the funding for him would be there. It didn’t sound like Gwin would want to part ways if it were up to him. 
 

Dak and Martin’s relationship and Martin and Neko’s relationship and all of their proximity, I think that could be possible for Frameworks / Dak union, if the other pieces could cover the costs. 
 

I really think a Frameworks Factory Racing with Gwin Dak Neko and Harrison would be amazing for US DH but that is high hoping!!
