Any word on whether Connor's still on Kona for 2016?
Fox has just dropped a pic on the Gram- "Just a minor #foxmtb photo shoot @connorahoyhoy @steviesmithdh @markwallacebike someone's front porch."
Interesting that there's an "official" image release from Fox also showing product prominence with the Devinci, SRAM (brakes) & Easton brands in frame... not a particularly conventional thing to do given Connor's 2015 Kona/Avid (yes, yes I know it's still part of the SRAM stable)/Stan's sponsors. Typically there's a balanced product representation in these types of shoots involving athletes from different teams/manufacturers.
Probably wouldn't have thought about it that much more if it weren't for the announcement this week that Dean Lucas has signed with 23deg & Martin Whiteley (who also manages George Brannigan). Which naturally then has me wondering whether Martin's putting together another team (vs just athlete management)...possibly a non-factory Trek team.

Hahaha- that's great to hear. What's the colour of the box? Care of a mutual friend's bday gathering I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with Matt, JK & bunch of Roto dirtbags tearing laps of the Redwoods earlier in year- was super impressed with his attitude & commitment to chasing his dream. He seems like a good egg so it'll be rad to see him on supported/factory ride finally. Looks like a few of the VANZACs might just go legit for 2016, huh?

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I'm gonna need some time alone to reassess reality.

And the scent is thickening over at Specialized. Guess an announcement of what's happening in their camp wont be too far away.

Richie Rude is has been a solid deputy though. US market, all American boy, nice dude from all accounts. I dunno, Yeti always seem to land on their feet...R.I.P Yeti
I hope Jared is getting a sweet deal at Specialized (or who ever he's signed with). He's probably the most marketable Mountainbiker on the planet.

^Once punched Jeff Kennett. Don't pick an e-fight
No doubt, it was a tad tongue in cheek, I'm just getting emotional.
it'll be OK man.
As long as they do a better video than the latest piece of crap he filmed.

This one? http://www.pinkbike.com/news/fall-lines-with-richie-rude-2015.html
Got a feeling Team roumors is right in suggesting Rude will de racing WC DH next year. Was talk of a new Yeti DH bike.
Wynn Masters is racing WC and EWS next year so Rude might do the same?
