Worst kept secret in mountainbiking 😕
Been doing the rounds for about 2 months.
The other 'rumours' are-
Brendan Fairclough (and Al Bond)on Scott.
Marc Beaumont on the syndicate.
Tracey Mosely to retire.
Anne Caroline Chausson to come back.
troy Brosnan to Giant.
Ratboy Bryceland off the syndicate.
Aaron Gwynn on redbull.
and some other shizzle.

Not bad looking that GT, considering it's obviously been on fire and melted.

Thought fairclough was going to giant?
Leaves an opening at specialized........
And that GT is horrific.

That GT is hideous. I'd much rather ride the Commencal.

ACC is going to Ibis

Brendon is off to Giant, that will be announced soon.

Ratty has a Tall Boy on Ebay due to lack of space(apparently) I dont think he is moving but he could be going to giant. I suppose that would move him upto #2 rider behind Danny Hart.

Ratty is just about to move onto a narrow boat, so that could be the "lack of space" he is referring to.

That is a huge blow for Commencal if it is true: They are probably responsible for many people riding those bikes.

Yea that's the impression I got. Not much space to park his 944 is there.

Already there in fact... Shame we won't see her in downhill though, that'd be pretty interesting.

Rob Roskopp claimed in a recent interview that the 2012 DH team would remain the same
