didn't see a thread about this...

Talk is of Trek........the comments are great.......

 

 Gee, I didn't see that coming.

 

This is because Gee's career is going downhill fast.

 

so maybe team rumors has turned into ream rumors. the artwork is definitely vastly different: ream rumors can actually draw.

the other drawing was interpreted as Laurie Greenland moving over to Canyon. 

 

also, if the athertons are moving to trek, it likely means Bulldog and george brannigan was without a team. As much as I like Bulldog, he wasn't the recovery Trek were hoping for after gwin screwed them.

He had a decent season in 2015 though

outside top 10, no world cup wins, very few, if any podiums. Given what Trek was after, the results with Bulldog were not favorable for him to remain as lead rider.

well, him for taylor vernon? i think its a fair swop at this stage. or........

 

that belgium kid. Martin Maes. scary talent that one. I wouldn't be surprised if Martin Whiteley talked him out of enduro to rather go reign supreme in junior DH world cups.

This was overheard in the Carrefour parking lot in Morzine

 

Athertons on Cube.

 

Also Wyn Masters will be on GT. There's a possibility he'll be joined by his brother Eddie. 

Cancel that. At least the bit about Cube.

shot skollie: that last one looks like a confirmation that Richie Rude is moving back to DH. Graves did say after EWS, they would no longer be team mates.

 

a lorry carrying a rock flying a french flag. that's curious.

lorry + french flag = Lori(s) vergier?

 

dude + dutch flag + dog on a leash? what's that thing in his right hand?

internet thinks its Anneke Beerten. But the 'artist' does seem to distinguish between dudes and dudettes in his/her drawings, so by extension, the dutchie is a dude. There are letters in that thing on his right hand. can't make it out though.
