Given that she's been riding around on a Canyon for the last few weeks........somewhat unlikely.

Official word from Andreu Lacondeguy, off YT after 8 years:

It feels weird to say that I will no longer ride for YT Industries in 2020. Its been a crazy ride! Thank you for the last 8 years! From Bergline, X Games and all those crazy dirt jump comps to the top of Rampage and the creation of the Fest Series...thanks for being there and thanks for the support. I wish you guys the best in the future! It's now time for me to take a step forward and switch my program to something new!

Thanks for the good times guys, see you in the mountains
- Andreu Lacondeguy

No way, you think Pivot is scaling back their road team as well?
The rumor I was referring to is cutting back their Cyclocross squad/sponsorship and how it may relate to the Pivot MTB side of things since it's coming from the same budget. Could also mean an increase on the MTB side as well.

So, with Andreu und Nico two of the biggest freeride athletes will join a new brand. Any ideas? Will they join the same brand? Possible, but not very likely in my opinion

- Commencal was named in a few comments as a new brand for Andreu. His brother is currently riding for this brand, so why not having them united?
- The above picture puts Transition back in the spotlight. Can they afford both athletes? It’s more likely that Nico will join them in my opinion.
- other brands: your turn 😉
Commencal for Lacondeguy.

For Nico, I just know that it's not Commencal.

Good to hear Pivot’s road program will remain unchanged. 😉

With RR potentially leaving, it looks to be Neer's team heading into 2020.

On a similar note, does anyone remember why Duncan Nason was released mid-season last year?
Why do you think that Richie is potentially leaving Yeti?

probably based on the fact that the syndicate commented 'excited' in the IG post that people have concluded that she is moving to Royal Racing (posted later in the thread)

It is my belief that RR will be at Intense creating a top tier Enduro team that will include last years women's Champion and with 2 DH greats this makes sense to me for Intense.

Sofia Gomez Villafane off Pivot/Stans XC. She had some good results domestically last year, will be interesting to see what’s next going into the Olympic year. I’m not sure what the selection process is for Argentina but I think she is probably a sure pick.

Re: The fmd Insta post - I didn’t read that as royal racing but as British royalty, hence Peaty.
