Don't think it's been mentioned.. looks like Tahnee has a new sponser:
I can't wait for the season to start.
Tahnee just likes her MX5 thats all.
So YT are rocking up with a mob of erm.. one??
But it's ok because they're holding auditions along the way for future team mates.

Odd one that, they didn't want to fork out for Gwin again but did they not even try to get anyone else on board? And what about Vali Holl?
"Odd one that, they didn’t want to fork out for Gwin again but did they not even try to get anyone else on board? And what about Vali Holl?"
Holl has frame support from YT as before for 2019 but not a Mob rider currently- or is slated to be for that matter. Martin Whitely commented on a discussion on Pinkbike that the plan for the true 'Young Talent' model had been in place since October of last year and has been a significant project to get moving. It corroborates Gwin's admissions that he was told the night after the World Champs that his services were no longer required. One has to think that his salary becoming liberated played a part in this new approach. I certainly haven't seen any team before holding open auditions globally for their team roster. Angel is a phenomenal rider, looking forward to him in 2019.
Yeah but hadn't they also told Gwin that they were wrapping up the team and not having a factory team in 2019?

Good to see both these guys back this year.
Angel is cuter than he is a phenomonal racer (currently).
Mr W always did seem to have a fondness of young talent
