2022 Racing/Team Rumors
- Thread starter Redwood Mulch Chucker
- Start date
apparently Peaty is back too, he was part of the announcement, although i'm not sure if this means he's coming back to racing?
Nina Hoffman, Laurie Greenland, Jackson Goldstone and Greg Minnaar - 2022 Santa Cruz Syndicate Team Revealed
The Santa Cruz Syndicate World Cup Downhill mountain bike team loves to use the term 'puzzling' when describing bike setup, line choice or any trivial decision to be made in life. So, what better way to launch the 2022 team roster than with puzzle pieces.www.vitalmtb.com
Jackson Goldstone reminds me of a scrawny Michael Cera
box for drivetrain? I know GG has been working with them a lot, and has them as part of their available build kits.
I thought exactly that when Remi Thirion first went to 29 on commencal.
He seems to have got the hang of riding again with the switch to Giant.
is the Glory still six fiddy or is it mullet/full 29 now?
Hahah... Gotta admit. I laughed when Peaty crashed out at Les Gets and started crying.yup, never liked his public persona (I have no idea if he's like that in person), but the whole "rule Brittania" thing was just annoying. I'm glad Vouilloz kept beating him, day in day out.
Him and Warner's love of England and the Queen used to make me cringe back in the 90/00s but it was just immature thoughtless banter and other than that they've always been two of the most sound guys you're ever likely to meet.
The UK's national cycling body never did a thing for DH. and the Royal family are leeches and peadophiles.
You have to remember Peaty and Warner barely worked a day in their lives and by their mid 20s were being flown all over the world to ride their bikes a bit and get pissed with other Brits whilst never being out of the mtb media of the time. kinda as rockstar lifestyle as mountainbiking gets.
You think so?
Yes. Peaty would have a beer with anyone in the pits. Nico wouldn't share his salty baguette.You think so?
You're a salty baguetteNot even with Richie?
A friend bumped into him at Andorra a few years ago. He was kinda puzzled at being recognized by an Argentinian at first, but then he kinda loosened and shared a couple of beers with my friend and his girlfriend. I'd say he's not a public person, but it's no Gwin style grumpy either.
Nope, Nico's baguette.
Having actually met the guy and hung out with him, he's every bit the golden god he's alleged to be. That said, most of the riders I've run into in the pits were also fantastic bros/gals in their own right - its one of, if not the best thing about DH racing.
My guess is either Push (most likely) or EXT for suspension, since both are near-shore manufacturing. Noah from MRP already replied on the Vital thread saying it's not them. He's already got PNW for a dropper. Not sure on brakes / drivetrain. Maybe Cascade Components for brakes? They don't technically make a complete brake, just the caliper, but they're super local to him.Yoann off Sram/RS as well
I lost my money.
Oh,so now we get to talk about World Cup Win,vs World Champion? You two are in twit about nothing. World Cup Win’s Boy’s,how many you got?
Greg,Gwin,then nobody remember’s. Standing Cheer For Nico.

I certainly miss that. It was not quite as exciting as the racing season, but close enough!
GT bikes going big adding a gaggle of youngsters and Katy Winton.

I hope Jess Blewitt comes back strong, she's a ripper but that Snowshoe wreck was gnarly!
A New Chapter for GT Factory Racing
New year, new team, same vibe. The GT Factory Racing squad is adding some fresh blood to the 2022 roster, and we’re fired up to get the season started!

Alcoholic vs. responsible athlete.
Where's Tuhoto-Ariki going to end up?
It was rumored Syndicate, but that is now bust. That kid should kill it on a bigger team with good support, he smashed quite a few races last year.
Pivot?
UR?
Trek? (if Charlie Harrison is really off, and they lost Goldie Stone)
And Dakota and Trummer from YT Mob?
Still some big names floating around out there.

Yes.
I'd bet on Tuhoto-Ariki with Pivot. From what we could see on Bernard Kerr's LSD Channel in the past few months, they seem to get along quite well.
iRider,Alcoholic? Strong Word’s. Maybe you should take a look at your self?
I Love Peaty,happy,badass,and has made a Life of it,so has Nico. They are different,to say Steve is a Alcoholic,and Nico is “responsible athlete” is a Man with shallow thought’s. Whatever,you won’t respond to this,so I say Good Day.

He stays local, kind of...

Canyon with Luca and Troy? They announced Kye A'Hern is leaving today.
That would be a strong team!
stoked that Cam Cole will be back at the races. even if not riding a bike.GT bikes going big adding a gaggle of youngsters and Katy Winton.

Is Neko still fast enough to crack the top 20? I haven't been following his results. He did say that on this new project wins and podiums weren't among his deliverables to sponsors.
Very interested to see what Fearon can do in a year or two with the new bike.

Nope, think even more local.
Ah, Propain.
No, he has already been there. Last hint, he is from Austria. The Propain team is not.
Spanish bike brand with team based out of Austria, used to have a short english guy riding for them?
