Well, there you go. It's all about Sam.....

Won’t lie, I was with you on him stepping away from EWS to focus on other things. Great to be wrong.

You mean he didn't consult you before making a decision?

Well, yes, but he doesn’t listen to EVERYTHING I tell him to do.

Long time with a sponsor - dedication from both parties .

Although Hans Rey and GT have had a relationship since the 90's .

Good on him !

Connor has been with Kona for 11 years. I think it was a Pinkbike interview but he said that Kona give him lots of flexibility as a rider and no pressure for results.

Pfft. I’ve always loved and respected Trek.

 

[cokeonspecialtwodollars]

I’ve owned numerous of pretty much every non boutique brands over the last 20 years.
Never a Trek.

Or this was a favourite from the I shall face God and walk backwards into hell, before I... thread

.....ride a spesh, Trek, giant or canondale.

Clearly, I was saying that with a wistful regret that I was...er, am, planning to rectify...

Best of luck to her, I hope that she gets a chance to give it a real crack this year.

 

[cokeonspecialtwodollars]

Okay so perhaps in hindsight I worded that poorly, I genuinely meant that I hope she gets to show of her talent competing in the elite field this year.

Wow. That Trek team is fully stacked this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see mens and womens titles going to them.

She’ll do good. No question about the bikes capability or her ability. I’m sure they’re a good factory team, but kinda hopes to see her go to the Syndicate. Reckon they’ve nailed the supporting, family feel...at least that’s the optics.

From her interview, it seems like the Syndicate gave her a very tempting offer.

Yeah, I’m sure they did. Losing Loris, Greg close to retirement, Luca as consistent as sram brakes, no women on the team....I would have bet my last Orange that she was heavily on their radar and a tempting prospect for her.
