...and a part of me wants to see Sunn get back into it too, partnered with BOS Suspension. I've seen their suspension bikes: properly sized, sweet looking! :D

I don't see the C-dale thing happening, as GT is their go-to gravity brand.

Listening to Laurie Greenland's interview at the hot seat section just made me firm up my suspicions that he's likely headed to another team.

EDIT: Rob Warner fueling lots of speculation today from the commentary box.

yeah, but couldn't understand warner's comments on team changes most of the time due to the claudio's screaming.

How much travel does the SB5.5 have? Isn't it 150 (on 29" wheels) as well?

Yeti is ditching the freedom units and goes full metric on their new frames. SB100, SB130 and SB150

And probably a new level of dentist/lawyer pricing. FDO - For Dentists Only

Here's two that I can remember:

• Ed Masters was offered to do the EWS full time
• Sam Hill getting back on a DH bike

that's gabe fox the teammanager. but since the seagraves are running their own program it's hard to see them join canyon factory racing.
what are you guys thinking about Gwin/The Mob back on Trek frames since i read it a couple times here, is this really possible?

and regarding that stealth yeti bike, was hoping they would come up with a sb6.5/sb165 in 27,5.

Nor really a rumour but Maes confirmed in interview that he's very likely to race DH more regularly next year...

I agree, and you will have 14 year old's (who try to trade their Kona Cowan and a Playstation 3 for a 29er dh bike) commenting on the future of DH racing.
