I had heard the Giant team had disbanded at the trade show...is that still the case?
If so, who is Rando racing for?

Jared Rando
- Thread starter stiksandstones
- Start date
As far as I know the Giant team is still going to happen. I believe that the gravity team will remain Tara and Jared, but this year Dustin will not join them.
Yeah I read an interview of Dustion and he DEF did not seem happy with the way things were going. He almost insisted that its so bad he might not be racing next year. Sucks for him cuz he had some real good results, hes an awsome rider and a really cool guy in person.heikkihall said:
Dont think he has to worry, to quote Dustin from a USAC meeting in Aspen last year...jus said:
"I can make more money being some freerider for Norco or something up in canada than I can being a pro racer for Giant...the whole freeride community is way more supportive than the racing one and with no prize money its too hard to make a living"
still appears to be on Giant?

He's wasn't wearing Giant kit at the last AUS National. Just a black tee shirt.
I heard at Interbike that the Giant Team was dead. Tara will still race for Giant, but it will be an independent deal.

Someone told me today that Rando is on a new DH Team, one that looks like the Faith rear end with the current DH Team front end. I asked for more pics and details but he was very vague... so how true it all is, who knows. Oh well, more useless speculation to discuss eh 
Got an email from Jared some weeks ago about team stuff... I've been trying to help him out as well. As with most other guys w/o a ride no one had any $$ to pick them up. Last he told me was that he had talked to Giant & it looks like he will be back on their bikes.... my guess is more of an independent deal (as with Tara). I haven't spoken to him since then, so i don't know if things have changed, but i wouldn't be surprised to see him back on a Giant.
