People have stopped guessing. Wasn't he on TLD pyjamas up until now? 6d is my helmet sponsor guess, if that's changing.

That dude Stik can confirm, but pretty sure he's gonna be wearing AlpineStars gear & Troy Lee helmets. Not the first or last athlete to do this either -- Sam Hill is another notable one (Royal Racing gear, Troy Lee helmet).

Didn't he say the news will be out in about a week? When was that exactly? I can't stand the anticipation anymore. I mean a few years ago I got called out for even mentioning Yt here as a trustworthy manufacturer no everybody talks about the fastest rider of all times possibly getting signed by them...

Well no disprespect to Sam or Nico or Peaty but didn't he achieve really unique records? I mean the margins and other competitors he won and the chainless victory. Domination wise it was just on another level compared to the rest of the field considering how on top of their game everybody else was.

Hm although I'm trans I wouldn't say that the competition in the womens series is as though as the in the mens but well I dunno risk to get seriously hurt is bigger for women and stamina/strenght wise there is a disadvantage but still...

Yes of course he did and I'm a bit a fan since his Yeti days. He still has no stripes yet. It's like Peaty, having won the overall but was always in ET's shadow. And that leads to me not understanding why everybody is trying to pull on Nico's achievements. Peaty was racing then and he did beat quite a lot of the guys until recently.
This comparison is pointless. What if Loic steps up the game and wins all Races in 2016? What if Ratboy does it again? Will you still state the above? He is fast, but others are as well. The fastest rider of all times? No one can say.

I mean in the sense that he continuously beat other riders on top of their game up to almost 10 seconds on tracks like val di sole. (dannys run was in the wet so that levels the competition)

I think ET was on another level too but back then I don't think the rest of the field was as professional as today and I think also the bikes weren't all ideal for the riders.
