I guess Vali on YT is true, but I'm still hoping for something else....

Whatever happens to the Mondraker team, at least David Trummer is still on this team and is currently testing in Italy (source: his instagram story):

They're locals after all

Going with the locals thing, they could also be going to Evil. Would be smart of a B-ham brand to get that pair. It's a good sized backyard to own. Having two highly respected riders like Jill and Bryn on your bikes in your neighborhood is smart way to help own your backyard.

Dak and Daveboy were on YT together when they got dropped last minute. It would be cool to see them back together if the Dak rumors turn out to be true.

Not to be true based on coconut wireless chatter: In Hawaii, "slippah", on da mainland, "____-____".

I like to think vali goes big as possible while she’s primed in her career. 
perhaps she gets on spesh (lack of a woman’s team member?) 

but if YT just made a team around her, perhaps that simply pays better than anyone with 5-6 racers to feed could budget for.

OneUp is owned by PON, so other brands probably dont want to be supporting their competitor by specing it OEM or allowing it to be front and center on their team bikes?

YT has a pretty solid DH team currently with Oisin O'Callaghan and Sian A'Hern.

With Vali now on board it will be even better, but it is not a new team built "around her".

I don’t think they’re really a great fit for Evil -

not that they’re not good people. Just not a fit for Evil imho

Think it looks more like a Tacky Chan on the front of Richie's bike?

Interesting. Straight swap with the Syndicate maybe? As I think pon bought a percentage of OneUp?

With Vali now on board it will be even better, but it is not a new team built "around her".

Vali will be running the show at yt now I imagine. Bringing in her own partners like Adidas and Troy Lee and keeping SRAM. yt will either keep the other sponsors the same for the current riders or they'll switch to Vali's preferred sponsors.

Hi there again.

I have another team/frame change I wanna share Smile

Remy Morton will be riding nicolai bikes next year because he was sick of cracking FRS frames on a weekly base.

Nicolai bikes will make him a custom 24" rear wheel, chainless bikepark bike that isnt official yet

 

it's funny how people downvote the truth Smile

Did Matt Beer accidently spilled beans on the Other Site, or is he just guessing?

YT riders can run whatever components they want i believe, part of the ‘live uncaged’ philosophy. At least the enduring side can so I also imagine that covers the DH riders. If so won’t pose any component issues etc for valli or the other riders

hmm, pretty sure that‘s not richie‘s bike… his has a orange fork. believe it‘s the bike of todd schumlick, his trainer. at least he‘s on it on some of richie’s pictures.

FYI I wasn't pointing at the Norco prototype, but who might be riding it (or the next iteration at least) next season. There is a tiny hint at it on the image caption (and all over the 10 last pages of this forum thread) Wink
