Or did they just forget to mention him and everyone's feelings are hurt.
Not GT, he just left them (Mongoose).
Yeti, you have to be on the rise and not yet hit your potential.
Intense, would be cool.
He seems like a great guy and good for the sport. I see him like a Bryn Atkinson, a consistent top 20 guy who can get a top 10 or even a top 5, just can't put a run together.
I kinda like watching her boob getting squished by her arm. Congrats to Gwin and best of luck to Needles! Other than that I don't have a whole lot else to contribute to this thread.
Your mention of her boob was the best contribution to this thread, not that I didn't see it. I stared at it through like 15 rep's.
anything where her boobs are involved are usually quite enjoyable
specialized and trek buying their way back in to dh.
more power ranger costumes please.

Interesting that Needles has gotten the boot after one of his best seasons. Although Justin may have more consistent results and seems like a good dude, I feel like Needles has a bit more overall marketability.
Pumped for Gwin to have the best support possible!

Needles deserves better. He had a great season and is a very popular figure in the sport. Hopefully a team that can appreciate him will pick him up.
Way to go and ruin a perfectly good rumor thread!!!
This to help wrong the right.
Expand on the bold part, please? E-drama!
It only becomes "E-drama" if all the tools on here start bitching at each other about it. Till then, it's only business.
Somebody always holds the cards, somebody else is always waiting for the cards to be played. It's not fair, it's life. It just sucks when "real business" creeps its way into our sport. IMO there should be more integrity and loyalty in almost every aspect of life.

I think finding somewhere with more support than TWR will be hard. Maybe a different program will suit him better though.
All I have to say is twr's loss...
^^^^^
There are a number of ways to look at it. The one that makes the most sense for me is where the rider will sell bikes.
Leov is one of the best riders to come out of NZ, which is a large and growing DH market. He will help sell bikes in NZ, which makes it a logical choice to keep him on board. Now, which is the bigger market, USA or South Africa? The US is a much bigger market and they have the opportunity to take the fastest rider in that market, versus the second fastest rider in South Africa. To me, even if they have to pay Gwin more, and I hope they will, it makes sense to have him on board as he should sell more bikes and it's just a matter of when, not if, he will get a World Cup win.
Needles is a good rider who can be competitive at the highest level on any given day. He had his best season to date this year and you have to hand it to him, he's made friends with the right people and seems to get a lot of coverage for not having the best of results in the past. He plays the sponsorship game very well and seems to have a decent buisness sense to him. He will find a ride for next season and do just fine on the World Cup. Sometimes, a team switch (or being dropped) is just the motivation a rider needs to step it up the next level.
Tons of extra popcorn boob-squishing Scarlett Johansson gif reposts, and not one bit or rep?
Thanks mate, sad to see him leave such a big team. Been a big fan of his since his turner/honda days. Great rider to watch.
True, but with the team they had it wasn't as if needle was being focused on more then the others. Mabey with even a smaller team he can really come into his own
Neko is on the team as well.

Addition of Aaron Gwin Highlights a Stacked Roster
23 Degrees Sports Management is thrilled to announce the addition of Aaron Gwin (USA) to the Trek World Racing 2011 downhill roster.
Currently the UCI World #3, Gwin will race a Team-issued Trek Session 88 throughout the 2011 World Cup calendar alongside his Trek World Racing teammates. A relative newcomer to the sport, Gwin has experienced a meteoric rise in his young career and is widely known as one of America's brightest downhill stars. "I'm really excited to be joining Trek World Racing. I've looked up to Trek bicycles since I was a kid watching Lance Armstrong win the Tours so to be a part of that same American brand and adding to that racing heritage is pretty cool. The support this team provides is second to none and I believe I'll have all the tools I'll need to achieve my goals." Aaron said.
Returning for 2011 will be World Champion Tracy Moseley (GBR), World Silver Medalist Neko Mulally (USA), and World Top 10 rider Justin Leov (NZL). All three riders have had their best career years while riding aboard Trek, and are looking forward to welcoming Aaron to the team. Tracy said, "It's great to be returning to Trek World Racing for a 3rd year and this time in the World Champion's jersey! I'm looking forward to an exciting year and hope to be able to help Trek World Racing become the number one team in 2011."
The title sponsor is as excited about the 2011 roster as the team is. When asked about the brand's involvement with the team, Trek Vice President Joe Vadeboncoeur remarked "Trek is more dedicated than ever to racing and to the Trek World Racing Team. Its value to our product development and brand is immeasurable but beyond that, we really, really just like to race. Our roster is filled with young talent that is going to provide a lot of energy mixed with mature riders that will continue to produce results. Our intention is to be at the top level of racing at all disciplines." On the continued success of the team, Team Owner, Martin Whiteley said, "After the first 2 years of the program, and all we've learned both on and off the bikes, it's clear were ready to take the momentum from the two medals won in Mont-Sainte-Anne and spend more time on World Cup podiums in 2011. It would be great to end next season with the yellow plates aboard our bikes, and be crowned the number one team in downhill racing. With this line up, it's certainly a real possibility."
Justin Leov said today: "I know this program as well as I know the bike, inside out now, and working with amazingly focused people is what I'm all about. I look forward to having a solid crew of staff and riders to work alongside these next two years and a lot of fun times and great rides along the way. I just want to get on with it for 2011 and prove I can put down great race runs in the World Cups and at World Champs." Neko Mulally said: "I'm really looking forward to racing next year. To have such top notch support and a great group of people around me allows me to be the best I can be. I have taken in a lot this past year with Trek World Racing and with a better understanding of racing at the professional level I can't wait to put down some solid performances in 2011."
The Trek World Racing XC Team Roster will be announced in the coming days.

thanks, we now know
He does not get happy
During the time I was name dropping, Neethling was riding his bike fast.
You must be the same guy hatin on needles on DIRT too?
This is awesome news for Gwinny and TWR. But I would like to know what Needles is up to now? Anyone have any insights or shall I start up another e-spec thread for him 
Cool story Hansel.
Where i come from you mosh with your elbows. If you can't stand the heat get out of the pit.
he must be used to moshing at a Fall Out Boy or Avril Lavine concert
where I come from its circle pits.
supposedly there were also pushups and spin kicks, but I never went to nu-school chugga chugga hardcore shows
