2012 team rumour and speculation
- Thread starter Straya
- Start date
The VéloVert "article" hints at the fact that Rachel may be taking another year off to heal her injuries and that Dan is focusing on enduro events, so that Gee may be the only one on the WC DH circuit. They also hint at the fact that they are moving on to a "large structure" referring to a large company, or large team I guess. I'm a little surprised by that given that the Athertons have always said that them being the team gave them control of all aspects of their activities, and that's what suited them best. I guess they're going to give being part of a larger operation a try. Hope it works out for them.
And if it turns out to be GT, that will be quite a coup for Ska-Todd (who has been conspicuously quiet these days...).

of course there's no circuits, its a derailler in a box.
todd has been spending a lot of time in taiwan.
makes sense.
I also just saw that Fabien Pedemanaud is retiring for good: Infos VTT : Fabien Pedemanaud : «Maintenant, je vais faire du fromage de chèvre»
he's going to become a goat-farmer and make goat's cheese. Sounds like a nice life: make cheese, ride bikes.
Are there some bike papparazzis near Brendog's house?
We need pics!

Hmm, so he's gonna be Brendawg's team mechanic?
not much. it's a lot like how you don't realize that women constantly call you "stupid, ugly knuckle-dragging fool" and instead imagine yourself Mr GQ or Men's Journal or whatever mag you wank to when you're not busy talking about how ugly women are
Yes, 2 more years of TLD on brendog.
your gf/wife/sister/mother dont seem to have a problem with me
The irony of you calling anyone stupid after your posts in the stolen intense thread is a real hoot.
Can we get back to speculating and away from the ugliness? Now in all seriousness how many std's will Todd catch in the far east?
zero, given the fact that he's married with a son, and an all around very nice guy.
Years ago I always knew him as a Top Notch Dude!! He helped us out huge when he was with Iron Horse and we all miss seeing him around the east coast seen. Sounds like bigger and better things for him for sure!! Great to hear that!!
Yup. Industry would definitely benefit from more folks like him.
sabo used to be so sexy in her intense days.
shes just so beastly built now,i will pass
maybe pugin will wana hook up in msa ???? baby you reading this ??

Did you see her in real life lately? Seems she finally dropped that Obelix look (and shape).
Palmer would be a better fit to be sponsored by honda marlboro, or maybe busch lite and skoal
that joke isnt getting funnier no matter how many times you use it
Thanks, you ruined it. I was taking a drink everytime he posted it, I have not been sober for almost a month. No need for the 12 step program now.
if only you understood what "irony" meant, Hipster.
"irony" is not drinking PBR or wearing girl jeans or riding a color-matched fixie while sporting a Porn Stache.
my posts in the stolen intense thread were mocking, not serious. they were mocking Ridemonkey's tendency to have a lot of people pretending to be something they're not, for "industry insider" laughs. hah hah hah. we're all cracking up!
bet you never considered that one, Internet Sherlock.
oops.
Alpine,
You have to be one of, if not the biggest douche on this forum. All of your posts offer no real content and are just stupid confrontational ploys to get a rise out of people. You use the fact you were probably the president of you high school debate team to talk down to people here and to make yourself seem intelligent. Please either offer some real content or stop trolling. I now open myself up to some hateful, over the top response that i am telling you now I will not respond to.
So back on topic, team atherton/Hanna 2012 Ftw!

Brendog to Commencal. If you unplug the Atherton's and insert a Brendog...you get some budget money back and still keep your podium appearances.
Huh ?
0 last season
2 in 2010
2 in 2009
20% average over the last 20 WC races.
not knocking him, just the facts.

I don't think last season is a realistic representation of what he's capable of. Riding without an ACL is teh suck.
I don't think any of his recent seasons are representative of his abilities, just pointing out podium appearances.
Yes. COnsidering the injury the 2011 results are an advancement. I really hope he shines in 2012
Same here. An amazing bike rider always with a smile on his face. I think he will get his wins. The mighty three from Great Britain will take it.
We will see Miami Bryce, Danny Hart and Fairclough on the podium.
