More likely that it's one of Blinkys old ones that he's "acquired" he's playing in the mud hardly likely to be running a new sponsors shirt ...
2012 team rumour and speculation
- Thread starter Straya
- Start date
im sure MS/Evil would love that. especially if he's under contract still
THIS IS THRILLING NEWS!!!
I'm going to just randomly pop into this thread and post that every once in a while. Doesn't seem to matter when.

Is Fairclough already with 23 degrees?
The latest two signings to the 23 family, arriving in 5 weeks... on Twitpic
Saw this a while ago, thought that it might mean Brook and Brendan.
Brendan signed a two year deal with 23 degreees in 2007. Covered his year on Honda (essentially a 23 degrees rider not full honda) and the following year with Iron Horse. he parted ways with 23 Degrees after the 2008 season.
keep in mind that 23 Degrees makes money on contracts as well. Sign up with Martin and he finds you a better deal and handles the details like any good manager. Of course in return you give back 10% or more of your contract to him.
I am sure Martin will say this does not cause conflict of interest when he runs his own team as well. Captain 23 owns the team Trek World Racing, and also collects money from contracts negotiated for riders on other teams. For example, do you think specialized wants to negotiate a contracts with the owner of Treks team? and have some of the money go to him?
Hence the reason Martin has a revolving door of up and coming talent. His services can open many doors but also close some. Once established most of his riders do not renew with him.
That said. If Brooke has a contract with MS through 2012 and also has established a deal with Red Bull on his own, what is he signing on with Martin for? I would venture a guess that that MS contract is not so secure otherwise 23 degrees would not even be in the picture.
Maybe MS-Evil is suffering from a lack of frames?
That sounds like a good rumor.

Gah! Got him mixed up with connor fearon.
if my memory is correct he beat Hill by a fair amount last time as well.
anyone notice next to Troy and Sam its says "specialized world team" instead of "monster energy specialized" is there anything in that or is it just because the race was sponsored by specialized and had nothing to do with the world cup team?Shaun O'Connor is now yeti-fox also. Source is from the specialized race in indonesia. Yeti's back!
I'm impressed by the detective work in this thread.
Also, why is that woman next to the podium not wearing pants?

Excellent work, I was going to say it earlier that those were just seeding results, but was going to wait until race results were published!FYI, those are seeding results.
Here are the ones that actually count
Good to see samuel hill back on the top step of the podium.

Troy had a massive wreck and rattled his brain a bit.
That does not sound like a rumour nor speculation to me. How disappointing.
Damn I feel like a complete dick now... Hope he's ok, i'd assumed that if he made it down all was ok.
head angle looks too steep
The Syndicate is dropping the blackbox wagon?
Your signature tells me, that you know something more
If the Athertons are leaving Shimano/Fox to goto GT... which uses SRAM... that leaves a lot of potential room for Shimano/Fox...?
The Athertons left just the frame sponsor, right? I don't think they change the other parts on their setup. But what do I know...
Yeah I'm just speculating... But if I'm right you heard it here first!

Hater. Gotta keep people entertained during the off season.
That's why jesus invented snowboards, motorcycles and whiskey.
and not in that order.
Amen brotha
I'm glad my life isn't so boring as to be concerned about the minute details of pro sponsorship deals....pow shredding this morning was awesome though!
Quit stealing our storms dammit!
The last four fronts that were headed our way split right at californy. Half goes to you guys, the other half goes to baja. I need to go buy a new bike so it finally starts snowing here. Baker and BC are looking ridiculous right now.
If I had fresh pow, I wouldn't care so much...
a couple more big storms lined up for fri/sat too! BOOOYAH!
It must be damn entertaining to have the thought process of a haiku.
