If Todd on a Yeti is true, I'd bank on AG on Yeti. Where did you see this?
He's got all of the same parts as his Cube so I wouldn't be surprised if he's just done a frame swap, plus those trousers are...
He's got all of the same parts as his Cube so I wouldn't be surprised if he's just done a frame swap, plus those trousers are Nukeproof Blackline Trail pants, so it seems as though they're supplying him with frames and clothing (and maybe some finishing kit? Although I think he's still on the same cockpit setup currently).
Edit: Seen that this has already been discussed oops
On the latest Ride Companion pod with BK he mentioned Danny was staying at his place in Queenstown and Danny was close to deal with someone (didn't sound like a great deal however). He also mentioned taking a pay cut and sponsors pulling back on enduro due to lack of coverage / no ROI.
Pure speculation… I could see Gwin riding/partnering with a bike manufacturer that will benefit him outside of just racing. I.e deals on Rental bikes at Windrock and other potential ventures. The southeast gravity scene only seems to be growing, I could see him helping to open/owning other parks. With Gwin’s history of being fairly business savvy, I be surprised to see him riding for a brand purely for racing purposes.

Yeah I'd been thinking the same, a rental fleet for a bike park can easily set you back $100k or more, it would make financial sense for him to make a sweetheart deal for a fleet part of the package (a Gwin/Gwin situation, as the park fleet is also good advertising for the bike brand)

I said before, Gwin to ride Specialized frames on his own program with a few youngsters below him. Specialized will be the demo fleet for Windrock and make a good pair of Specialized and Redbull funding Windrock (possible Dh series?) since the Monster Dh race series isn't going to Windrock from Redbull/Monster affiliations.

I have heard something similar that he is looking for a very simple DH bike that could be a rental fleet. No frills, not fuss. Rides well, etc. Something he would ride, too.
Part of me thinks he will work with Neko to develop that bike based off the frameworks project and help fund the grassroots program? (At least I can dream?)
As for racing, I'm really hoping whatever deal he has landed on, is with Dak as well. They seemed to really work well together this year and found a groove. So having them together is a proven duo. Both on the hill, and off. Fingers crossed.

Not like dak and gwin can’t ride together both at home and at world cups if they aren’t on the same team

What if…the third rider on frameworks is Blenkinsop? I recall Neko and Sam were on TFR circa 2010 which was managed by Martin Whitely so there may be some connection there. Sam was on a few WC podiums and even has a win so that would match with the quote we have of third rider having visited the WC podium. I also feel as though Neko always speaks highly of Sam on the DT podcast post race shows. If Neko and Asa pop up in NZ I would be even more convinced of Sam being mystery rider #3.

That would also work in another way, Blenki is also experienced in mentoring an up and coming superstar, last time it was Loic on the Lapierre team.

Imagine Gwin, Neko, and Asa on one team on a homegrown USA-made bike?! They could fly bald eagles to all the races.
I'd love to see it, but with Martin Whitely managing Frameworks, not sure where Schumlick would end up in the mix?
Gwin to Yeti with Richie also sounds awesome.
If Todd on a Yeti is true, I'd bank on AG on Yeti. Where did you see this?
On the latest Ride Companion pod with BK he mentioned Danny was staying at his place in Queenstown and Danny was close to deal with someone (didn't sound like a great deal however). He also mentioned taking a pay cut and sponsors pulling back on enduro due to lack of coverage / no ROI.

Yeti has a downhill bike. Try google.

rad ride companion w/ bernard on. he talks budget (and they're taking cuts) and that '24 is prob his last year racing.

Todd is also Richie’s trainer. I don’t think he has a large portfolio of pro riders, but Richie and AG are definitely the top.

Always throughly enjoy watching/listening to BK interviews chit chats etc
AG on a TR11. You heard it here first.
Gwin on Huffy.

his IG
but yeah, could also be that richie hooked him up… we will see
Brook certainly still seems to be riding Mondrakers

An American brand that is a name place is going to have an American rider
Gwin and Santa Cruz 🤣
Your confusing blenky with Justin Leov
Marin and Kona, what else besides Santa Cruz?
Crestline?
Trek, Specialized…
Myriam Nicole sure seems to be placing IG tags conveniently over anything that might identify their third rider on full fledged team gear…
Where are Specialized and Trek 'places' in the US? Crestline is a 'thing' in California...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crestline,_California
Ahhh. Don’t mind me. I was thinking bike companies.
Is Ronan Dunne confirmed riding for a team yet? That rider with the handily placed banner is wearing goggle which look to be in the Irish colours.
