Maybe Swenson will follow the local advice and have pronutro for breakfast this year. As far as I know yes. He seem to be enjoying his retirement a bit (well deserved too), riding enduro bikes in the alps, and spending time with family. He is staying on with Scott as a consultant an will have input in bike design, set up etc. I am sure we will see him back at epic in a year or two mixing it up in the masters category, or riding one of the media bikes or something (not sure how that will work with his commitment to Scott though - as long as Bulls is still sponsoring the e-bikes for the media)

From the Spez podcast with Sofia and Keegan, Sofia was not keen to do it without a 'proper' team mate to go for the win which they could not get (assuming Anika is not available). They did not want to unnecessarily detract effort from the mens attempt. Rowl 1
