Can understand your points but for the last point, money can be a very big motivator especially for a sport like DH where careers are relatively short compared to other sports such as golf that are less physically demanding. Compared to sports that have a similar career span such as football, motorcross, etc the pay is a lot higher on average. So if someone offers you a significant increase in pay which is what is the general assumption that specialised did, its not hard to make the call to jump on board.Gwin is still young though in comparison to many of the riders he still has the ability to come back. I don't know why he left trek after that season he was clearly working well it was an odd decision to want to change anything up drastically.
