He said rumours but I think the Syndicate are so close that surly they will do everything they can to keep him, great team, great bike, his first win be silly to leave when its all starting to gel unless Max Commecal wants to sign Vergier and Bruni and turn the Commencal team into the new sunn chippie team from 20 years ago.

GT should sign someone who will put there new bike in the top 10 ?

Reece Wilson should get picked up by another team or bumped up to the Commencal/Vallnord team.

What actual riders are at the end of their contract this year ?

Gwin ? isn't this his last year with YT ?

I love silly season and its not even over yet haha

Gwin to Santa Cruz, Minnaar to GT, and Loris to start his own team with Pole Bikes. Trust me, my sources are watertight

General Lee's comment in the 2018 rumors about salaries is interesting. In inside line pod with Whitely, he mentioned that viewership is up, etc. with the stream and what not; is that playing a bigger role in increasing salaries? If salaries are up 20% plus over the past couple years, I think we are in for some big shakeups.

At the moment, the Syndicate, really has 3 top 5ish riders (Minnaar has been hurt but he's definitely paid like a top 5 guy). Even SC, who seems willing to spend a lot of money here, this could be too rich for the team. Loris may not want to leave, but if he is being given significantly more money than SC can afford, I would totally get him moving for a bigger pay check.

How is Vali's contract, is she getting on mob for 2019 or is she staying with sram? Or do you think any other team might be willing to invest heavily into the future ?

Also in women field Hrastnik turned many heads as its been long time since privateer got on podium, UTT seems like a first option since they are from the same country but you never know...

who was/is on their DH team this year? CRC/Mavic dumped the DH team before the 2018 season and were the only team riding nukeproof afaik.

Yeah I completely forgot they already dropped the team, but the hearsay of the DH bike not being made anymore is still quite shocking.

http://nukeproof.com/#riders Webpage describes 2 riders and wideopenmag team with tag downhill, feels really weird seeing brand that was basically reborn from DH ditching all of that...

thx for the list, but tom is on monster too so also unlikely to join redbull

also warner mentioned that Anne-Caroline Chausson might join the commencial team

In for this year, I've got nothing so I'm going to predict Saracen with a non single pivot bike, or maybe high single pivot, purely on the basis Hart is somewhat struggling to get on the top step and Brook is enjoying being back on Mondraker after the single pivot GT.

Here’s my completely unfounded rumours. I haven’t seen one photo of the Specialized gravity team together this year so I predict Miranda Miller retires or is leaving the team based on her last post about team memories. Specialized should sign Val Holl to a three year contract while she’s still reasonably priced. Finn Isles is moving to Santa Cruz Syndicate based on his eating with them, Loris and Bruni back on the same squad but I don’t know where.

I really hope Eddie doesn't sign with Rebull. That would be a bummer.

Now that he's a top 10 guy, Eddie needs a way more "bougie" helmet sponsor to fit his brand. I'm thinking something like Audi or Breville that fits in with the mid-30s enduro guy with his full carbon pivot on his kuat rack talking about how good his espresso is at home on the group ride.

Do we have a list going of athletes whose contracts are up for the season? I can't keep track of them all, but here's some I believe are correct with much help from previous posts:
Aaron Gwin / YT MOB
Loris Vergier
Finn Iles / Specialized Gravity Team
Athertons / Trek Factory DH

Brosnan's been with Canyon for a bit now, same with the Intense Factory Team and Giant racing. Now that Norco and GT have new bikes, maybe we will see a shakeup there?
I'm less certain about what's happening on the Enduro circuit, but Graves, Rude, and Maes have all been at their respective teams for a while now, but I don't see any of them leaving anytime soon.

Racing Rumors came a month early this year! Cool


Wild guesses with a touch of speculation:

[list]Valentina Holl to become the first female rider of the YT Mob.
[*]Vali will be with the Mob next season because team vids and photos look better with 2 Red Bull helmets instead of one.
[*]Vali Holl will be moving to Elites for sure. Her national federation will need to send the request over to the UCI as a formality but the UCI won't say no.
[/list]

[list]
Loris will be moving to Norco, and it's thanks to Loic. Wink
[*]His performance dramatically improved on 29" wheels so he'll pick a team with a good 29" bike
[*]Loic doesn't like the Demo 29, so no going back to Spez for Loris
[*]Loic is good friends with Blenki
[*]Loic mentioned he was spending his off-season in New Zealand (probably because Loris already made plans)
[/list]

[list]The new Fury needs to be on the podium next season so GT will sign any or all of these riders whose contracts are up:
[*] Laurie Greenland
[*] Jack Moir
[*] Remi Thirion
[/list]

[list]Specialized Gravity Racing will cease to exist, they go back to Specialized Racing or Specialized Factory Racing.
[*] Finn moves! While Devinci is the sentimental favorite, they already have a full roster (which will include Monika Hrastnik).
[*] I see Finn going to Mondraker, who will lose Laurie Greenland.
[*] Laurie Greenland will probably be a Specialized rider in 2019.
[*] Loic stays on and helps lead development to on the next Demo.
[*] Miranda Miller will choose not to race the full 2019 WC season.
[/list]

[list]Lapierre will be back on the EWS.
[*] They will be racing a new bike which can run both 27.5 and 29 in wheels.
[*] Adrien Dailly might prefer 650b at the onset but if Nico V tests the 29er, we will likely see the 29 version on track.
[/list]

[list]Eddie Masters to race the EWS full time.
[*] He will still race a couple of World Cups depending on the schedule.
[*] He will be signing with Monster Energy.
[/list]

No rumor, as I assume Gwin will be riding for YT for the foreseeable future. But did anybody else find YT new Tues ad funny?

Not a rumor, but Isak Leivsson should be picked up by a real team.
