Trek/Sam Hill????
- Thread starter rawcan
- Start date
Do not count Needles out, even not a 23degrees guy, Martin is a needles fan....oh ya, and Kyle Strait-hes a racer now too.Sam isn't actually going anywhere, he's still riding for the Monster Energy team only they will be on different frames in '09. why is this still so hard for people to understand.
as for the actual Trek team, it's being run by Martin Whitely and 23 Degrees so there's a pretty good chance it will be made up of at least a few riders he already represents: Blekinsop, Lehikoinen, Leov, Strait, Strobel, Vasquez, Minnaar, Fairclough. sure a few of them already have contracts but that's not much of an issue in the ultra high-stakes world of DH mtb racing.
Strait's on the list, and I really wouldn't be surprised to see him on there either given how much all around talent he brings to the table.
I said Strait is a 'racer' in hopes of getting the RM haters to crawl out from under the baseboard.
You'll have to wait for them to stop arguing over the merits of 32 vs 35mm stanchions firstI said Strait is a 'racer' in hopes of getting the RM haters to crawl out from under the baseboard.
Tracy Hannah would be a good signing.....maybe Mik too, if his head's in it....
oh......didn't know he Sired a young'n....
oster_oops:
steroids will do that.
yes, you certainly are
lthumbsdown:
Ya, with all her marketing training this year while everyone was out racing, she should be a marketing powerhouse.

well, she's a proven winner and looking long term i think it would be good....she wouldn't neccessarily be the headliner on the team, but would be a good investment at a bargain price...
..Top Chick always gets good coverage...
not true.
Wasn't the bargain pay that was offered what pushed her not to race this season? With all of the criticism the women's field puts up with in regard to their talent level it amazes me that no one was willing to give a recent WC winner a decent rate of pay.

Read that article awhile back....don;t have time right now to reread.....but by "bargain" i meant expenses and some sort of salary nothing big dollar.....
Stik,
Top Chick doesn't get good coverage....?......Rachel Atherton seems pretty well known...Sabrina too....
I'll stop now.
You're right.
Steve Smith might be a good pick for the Trek team, not as the team leader but as a solid young prospect who might produce some top results.
What's wrong with that? Besides making yourself feel better with smug comments, I thought that was one of the focuses of this site.You'll have to wait for them to stop arguing over the merits of 32 vs 35mm stanchions first
I have some mediaxfactor databases here, current ones and all the way back to 1997 and the most winning male or female is not the highest paid or the one with the most media impressions.
Ya, I am right.
I wasn't going that deep Stik...
I still think she would be a solid addition to any team.
Go on Hating.
Wow, there sure are a lot of people around here with "inside" knowledge, just out of curiosity, does any one know what team I'll be riding for next year? Maybe you could ask your mechanic friend or god or whoever for me next time you talk to them. The information would be greatly appreciated as it would help me start planning. Thanks!!!
Ohhhhh, I really hope its big news!!!

Just thought i'd throw this into the melle..... How about Nicolas Vouilloz heading up the team? ......
That was my first choice, Jackpot!!!!!!my sources tell me you'll be signed by the biggest, most powerful MTB team ever!

We'll, I'm off to buy a new car or two. Probably just put em on the card and have Visa take care of the charges once the paperwork is settled.
Nicolas Vouilloz has already signed with Lappiare for another two years.
When i started the thread the intention was strickly to create conversation, kind of like everyone wondering who Brian Lopes would be riding for.....
Some guys get all bent out of shape.
Either way this has been a awesome year of world cup racing! It's been a close race and it's been great being able to see the races live.

I heard through Wahoo's that you are going to be the captain of the new factory team Mike. On the downside you will be riding an Ellsworth painted like a fish taco.
You and Brian should come back east next summer and play in the mud again.

I meant that it is possible that the Monster Team will switch to the new DW Link Bike...
So the Monster team will be on Giant next year. It is good to see Giant get some good fast riders on the team again.
