Remi Thirion and Commencal parts ways after 8 years!

Remi Thirion is one of the nicest riders on the World Cup circuit and for almost a decade has been associated with Commencal, but not any more!

It’s that time of year where teams make changes, riders leave teams and team rumours run rampant. Even with COVID, 2020 has been no different with plenty of announcements over the past few weeks, some more surprising than others.

The latest, and surprising news, is that French rider Remi Thirion will be leaving Commencal after 8 years with the Andorran brand. Remi has been a rider to watch over the years, and even after breaking his back has had some amazing rides in this year.

8 years of rad racing and pure friendship, we’ve enjoyed every minute! ❤️

Commencal posted the following video thanking Remi for being part of the team yesterday.

The question is where will Remi Thirion be riding in 2021?
