World Cup 2019 Team Rumors
- Thread starter sethimus
- Start date
They do make very light bikes. Someone brought in the new gravel bike it admittly looked great, and as much as I’d like to hate on a lefty the structure was never as big of a problem, it seemed to be the damper or whoever serviced it.
Weird how sponsorship has changed with the social media aspect. Guys who aren't racing/competing (at least not WCs/EWS or freeride comps) are still grabbing top sponsorship dollars for the whole lifestyle Insta influencer deal. There's top 10 WC riders who'd probably kill to have the support being offered to some of the recreational riders nowadays.
yeah, being a influencer is quite lucrative in these times
This is basically got bmx works, but with less money.
nice one
i'm curious what a guy like bryceland is making compared to his racing buddies. doesn't seem to generate that much high profile content, yet (i assume) ekes a living (of sorts) noodling about on his bike. granted, his houseboat lifestyle probably isn't quite as spendy as someone who drives mclarens and builds mcmansions in socal.
not DH related but...
Kate Courtney officially on Scott. Kind of mixed bag here. on one hand, it's weird to see the first US women's XC world champ in decades on a non US team. On the other hand, she's gonna be teammates with Nico and could learn a LOT from one of the greatest xc racers of all time. which could be a good thing with the next summer olympics in 2020.

She'll get the inside scoop on some good meds!
So he works for adult beverages now?
Same speculation on the French side of things. There is even a website https://www.athertonbikes.com
If true, they have to race their own bikes and win!

over on the vital thread someone pointed out brendo has some different sponsors vs the rest of the team (deity, TLD, ENVE, etc)
Seems he's also off Onza tires.
On Kenda and sounds like a team owner also
Late posting here but looks like Michelin is finally making some DH tires. A DH-ified version of WR2 side knobs, a bit more open tread and a bit more carcass beef would be amaze. Hopefully they are available before I'm too old to buy them....

I was partial to this one from PB
"Chad has got that look when you know the e.bikes are already in development, but you release a 6 paragraph long PR piece about RACING being everything."
Saw one stating he looks like David Bowie, seems more accurate.saw this comment on vital, lost it.

Speaking of WC and the UCI, isn't anybody else reading the allowance of different wheel sizes in the same bike as a prelude to an e-DH WC?

The Pinkbike article said that he can ride other tires if the crap Kenda puts out isn't up to par. It will be interesting to see if he rides Onza or Maxxis in the beginning of the season.
