Wonder if they're trying to force "Forward Geometry" onto all their riders? Brook obviously did better as soon as he went back to a normal setup, and Barel has always been very particular about setups

I saw some of their AM completes were stock with super long TTs and 10mm stems. I'd be interested to try it, but I'd hate to be stuck with such a specific bike setup.

'Used to.' He's still there.

MS-Mondraker maybe since they lost Ragot to Lapierre. Biggest Commencal team was just announced, and going with what Stik said the only others that are unannounced and still field teams are Kona and Labryinth.

What Stik said: "Charre is riding in the same tent that used to house another french world champ...and is back in TLD D3 helmets."

Bruni is still on Lapierre.
MS-Mondraker, Labyrinth, Commencal, Kona are active teams who 'used to' have a French World Champ.

Riding Addiction Commencal just announced their team. Unless someone has switched frame suppliers this was really to only major WC team on Commencal bikes

Labyrinth is pretty small, and MS-Mondraker just lost a former French World Champ to Lapierre. So My guess is Charre is headed to MS. They need some new talent after losing Rogot and Macdonald

No one said anything about her going to a French brand.

anything without Gwin would be... but it's still a solid lineup. Two podium placers, and a young up and comer that's got solid, demonstrated talent? solid. I think with the right program they will be able to perform well individually and as a team.

I wonder what the loss of Brannigan will mean to Devinci? I wonder if they will replace him...
