Sworks20 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 ahh, this sounds interesting....... Yes it is. Very.
Helpmytrap Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 He has not got a good name among his ex-sponsors or team mates he has rode with but hey that is only what a lot of them say so I don't know.From what I have heard, Bridget is also somewhat of an issue. Not that I know anything, so it is just hearsay.
scuzzy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 You are very wrong on that, I know Jeroen was very supportive and gave advice and help where he could with Kevin with regards to his operations he had. He would never influence any decision like that at all and it's sad that you think that way of him. David made his own bed with the way he handled issues about losing and being so desperate to win with regards to his protests - being karma - caught up to him much to the detriment of Kevin and James. I am not bad mouthing Jeroen at all, please don't miss understand, that's why I say don't quite me, just a feeling I got when I asked if Kevin stands a chance to win it. Glad if they are working together and getting Evans back on track for a good performance
Sharkie 2 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 In my opinion Scott signed with Fedgroup because of Kevin's long standing relationship with them. Is Kevin still there next year?Kevin brought the Scott sponsorship in, end of this year Scott told Kevin to move away or he will lose his lifelong sponsorship from Scott bikes guess he needed cash instead of a bike
Sworks20 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Scuzzy: no problem at all. But yes it's been a while since Kevin has been top of his game. From what I know they are not working together, it was more of a can you help with the best advice etc for the operations and stuff like that.
scuzzy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Kevin brought the Scott sponsorship in, end of this year Scott told Kevin to move away or he will lose his lifelong sponsorship from Scott bikes guess he needed cash instead of a bike Wow, that's hectic. Sad that a sponsorship like that should go to waste, but like you say, with another year or two of top quality racing left in Evans, the cash must have been king in this case.
Jaco-fiets Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Phillip is going to win the Epic next year with a new partner Sorry! Like the guy but can't see that happening anytime soon
FlashJordan Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Sorry! Like the guy but can't see that happening anytime soon Heard a rumour Philip may be doing Epic with Nino Schurter next year ?? That would be Epic!
Helpmytrap Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Heard a rumour Philip may be doing Epic with Nino Schurter next year ?? That would be Epic!Not really. They definitely wouldn't be in the runnings if they teamed up. Don't get me wrong, it's just that Nino is programmed for XC at the moment, I'm not sure that he would have the endurance form necessary to finish right on top. But I stand to be corrected.

Some said the same about Sauzer and Kulhavy combo. Buys and Schurter will be a great team to support. Don't see them on top step though (as you mentioned). I do however think that with a able partner Schurter can be on top step

Yeah I hear what you're saying but he sure would be a big (biggest?) name to have riding the Epic. Also, same could have been said for 'CoolHarvey' this year riding with Sussie?

Nino will do just fine on the endurance side just like the rest of the XC riders who rode Epic this year. They use it as basically base prep and UCI points for the rest of the year.
Helpmytrap Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I suppose it boils down to how deep they are willing to go mining in the pain cave.
rock Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 lifelong sponsorship from Scott?......seriously doubt that.
