Mondraker Factory Racing unveiled today - but have wait until later this week/next week to see who's riding.

Current speculation is Ronan Dunne, Dakota Norton and Ryan Pinkerton.

Can I just say that I have a massive man-crush on Neko Mullay, what he;s doing is amazing.

Any rumours on what Gwin is doing?

That's the only one I think has escaped me now.

Has Vali Höll announced where she's going yet? Rumours were YT I think, or maybe just onto Trek's main team?

Don't think so no.... Neither has Danny.

Danny's on Nukeproof. I think doing his own semi-privateer thing.

In true team rumours style, Ronan was riding moto in Alpinestars kit, which is what Mondraker Factory are in, so that'll do as confirmation for me.

Rumours are Gwin on Yeti but not sure if that's based on anything other than him and Richie training together.

I think the Trek Factory team is unchanged, so Vali to YT seems nailed on.

Brook is still riding a Mondraker.

Open secret apparently.

Someone shared some Mondraker marketing artwork showing Dak, Ronan & (apparently) Pinkerton.

Should be an exciting team.

Last time I checked Leogang was very definitely in Austria. I wasn't expecting venues to change teams.

Still no word on Gwin as far as I can see, thats a shame. He did such a good job in the booth last season and it was good seeing him get back to some form in the 22 season.

Yeah, I assume Gwin is still putting a package together himself - bringing sponsors together as he usually does rather than seeking a factory ride.

I’ve just read that the semi finals no longer to be held on the same day as the race, they’re now moving to later in the previous day, after qualifying.
Still don’t massively see the point of semis but I guess it’s a step in the right direction?

Its to end up with a watchable final rather than having lots of people who are never going to worry the podium get in the way between the ladies final and the pointy end of the mens.

@Boardinbob - not got to 'S' yet - SRAM Nukeproof...

Fingers crossed for Eliot, Kelan & Dan in the EDR too.

Adam 'Grandad' Brayton & Jono Jones are on a team:

About time Brayton had a team 👍

BNC looks a bit like a band of privateers grouping together rather than a trade team. Guarantees then pit space and a bit of collective clout.

So looks like Aaron Gwin's GWIN RACING team was missed off the UCI list......

No word on whose frames or other sponsors yet.

No Nukeproof SRAM team either - gutted for Nigel Paige, Sam Hill, Elliot Heap and Dan Booker.

Nukeproof SRAM Racing has Not been Entered as a UCI Team for 2024

Sadly, the Nukeproof SRAM racing team has not been included in this year's list of teams with the future of its place at World Cups looking uncertain. As part of our reporting, we reached out to the team where it was confirmed to us that it was not entered as a UCI team for 2024. We were told that no solid plans could be made for the team while Wiggle/CRC remain in administration.
