No way that is correct. Sorry. Watched the bikes getting washed afterwards, hardly any Bulls bikes, apart from team Bulls. Very few Momsens. Loads of Spez, Canondale and Merida. Thats for sure. Giant is not even on that list, saw loads of Anthem x bikes. Someone was drunk for sure.

Think this refers to the Top 10 teams in the race not overall percentage.

Giant don't send sponsored riders to the Epic. In fact outside of fizmiss and Mayayumyum they don't really feature in XCO either. They not really interested in promoting their mens xc products through racing. Their LIV division is still keen because its more a matter of promoting ladies bikes designed by ladies for ladies

There were quite a few Giant bikes in the 1200 plus riders. sponsored or not. If their marketing department are asleep and cannot sponsor a team in the Epic, well then, thats their own stupidity.

That said it was for the prologue.

The overall top 10 looks quite different...with a much narrower brand of bikes.
