Grubby ain't going anywhere and that he will ride that brand until he dies. So that sounds promising.
Spoke to a bike shop in Melbourne yesterday who sells a bike brand that the boys ride and he said

Reading that PB announcement was like reading the Specialized announcement when Sam left ... People that help develop product ... High selling product at that ... Shouldn't be let go IMO. Especially when these riders help train your up and comers. They should be there after their careers as top level racers. I may be wrong, but smells like Americans preferring their own. Gwin for Sam ... Ritchie for Jared ... I'm sure the riders don't see it that way ... But fark, take care of your bloody people regardless of where they come from.
Anyway, likely way off Mark, but I hope Jared smashes it next year on whatever he is on.

Shattered. I can't stand Spesh, but that's mainly a corporate ethics thing. Despite that, I still cheer Troy on (get up would ya!) so I'll definitely continue to cheer Grubby on as well.
Pre-post edit: Spesh still seems to be the winning rumour, but I can't find anywhere that its confirmed.

He wasn't let go. He chose to move. Reasons being was for more opportunity within the sport as he gets on. He loves Yeti to the bottom of his soul, it was crushing for him to leave. But as we know they are a relatively small company and he wants more for his future beyond racing. Just clearing that up, It was his choice.
How I know, Toowoomba is a small place.

The colour is literally called monster green.
Some would say the Graves deal may have been signed ages ago and they have even patented a Specialized color for the gig.

Al, for the Americans to prefer appointing an American on their team makes commercial sense. American buyers will take more note of the team if it is an American riding, and that is likely to translate top more sales in America.
I don't agree with it, they should just employ the best rider, but there is some sense there.
