i can't be bothered to check who the new bike sponsors are, but aren't Fionn and Ragot on Intense also? That would mean Intense has a world championship winning bike...
I wonder if he will be winning the nats when he is 50
I think Ragot is on MS Mondraker team for the 2012 season

either way, the reigning world champ won on an Intense...
Since they are made by Maxxis and a Maxxis copy, I suspect they will be fine.
A real MTB tire? Come on now. Have you even ridden Bontrager's new DH tires? They are great.
have either of you ridden them? I'm only going by the sh1tty sidewalls/rubber compounds the old ones used and how I got lots of pinch flats on their old ones. Did they finally put something out worth riding? The price on them is pretty solid and they have a good guarantee.
Sooo...Where's the Coastal crew going?
could be true, they were/are in NZ and on some twitter pics I saw Stumpy Evos - these could belong to someone else though
I talked to Neko at a local race about the tires and he said he prefered the new Bontrager tires to Minions and Highrollers. He said they were better in almost every way.
You know that he gets paid from Trek?!
Edit:
Coastal crew with Hopkins to Norco? That would make some good web edits...

Yea, I know. But he said for the off season he was allowed to ride whatever tire he wanted. He ran minions for half of practice then switched to the Bontragers for the rest of practice and his race run.You know that he gets paid from Trek?!
Don't you know all pros say the truth unless proven otherwise by their sponsor redesigning the faults in said product?You know that he gets paid from Trek?!
Coastal crew not on Norco.
Wyn Masters on Argentina Bike Gravity Team based out of Italy? lol wut??
They're a pretty big development team actually. They've been around for a long time, and are pretty close to the ancillotti team that Wyn used to be on.
wow, i never heard of them until now. what are they riding on? ancilotti's? he seems to be bouncing around the past few years
Last I remember they were on Commencals.
Pretty sure they are on Devinci for 2012
Been on the new G4 for several months, and I also prefer it to the Minion.
Are you being paid by Trek to say that?!?!
I wonder if that team will race Ft William world cup. Steve Peat is trying to get them banned for reffering to the "Malvinas"
what do the Falklands have to do with anything?
the falklands war perhaps?
zero as far as i'm concerned. not sure why or if peaty is really trying to get a team banned from a race but i guess if he is he's obviously got a sore spot for that conflict.
i thought everyone was. moar winking emoticons guys...
Gwin on Redbull.

@Team Rumors #1
But besides that you had to figure it was coming. Last season Red Bull put out a series of retrospective videos on the WC series in which Gwinn featured prominently despite being a non-Red Bull athlete; not exactly typical for them. And considering they haven't had a legit American male DH athlete since Shaums March it was due time.
In other caffeine drink news, it looks like Danny Hart signed with Rockstar.
Fox can't give away that Rockstar co branded stuff. They are apparently begging rockstar to sponsor fox head athletes.
im sure his World Championship held no water in their decision too.
Probably not as much as you think. RS hasn't exactly shown huge interest in push bikes.
