And Patrick Lange leaving New Balance according to his IG

Wow...that's surprising!

He was with Newton I believe for his 3rd place in Kona, I believe. Interesting to see where he ends up.

Joe Skipper confirmed his new QR ride - IG the official locator of new sponsorships worldwide haha.

Adidas :)

Patrick did run in newton’s that race but was not signed by them that’s why they never marketed his 3rd place, they weren’t allowed

The scuttlebutt from a very well-placed source is that the Hof ticked off specialized with the mountain bike race he did as a team with Keinle. Specialized couldn't use it for marketing as Keinle is with Scott. Then Hof gets hurt, falls apart in IMSA, and no Kona. Then no bike sponsorship.

where are you getting this misguided information?

 
We know Specialized is pretty petty when it comes to words for IP, especially when they don't even on the trademark! But that would make them one of the pettiest companies of all time.

well it's completely false, so as petty as they may or may not be...

Not tri specific but Phil Gaimon now with Nove Bikes (out of Australia.) Anyone familiar with the brand?

Angela Naeth has gone from Scott to Quintana Roo.

I did get that one on the first page but this gives me a good reason to move it back to the top. There's so many athletes out there still without deals...come on social media - release the hounds!

Romain has always been on Ceepo until he was forced on a for him way too large Ridley bike :-) More ITZU guys will be on Ceepo now.

Laura Siddall to Factor from Ceepo - I think that Factor Slick bike is pretty...yes...slick. Seems like a cool bike - and she's a great personality who races a lot. Love her on the Fitter Radio podcast...

Don't know about Big Metz, but Jeannie Seymour is now on Ventum. People are starting to fall into place.

Come on, Hoff and Richard Murray...give us some names! :)

Would like to see more pros on a trek. Males I can only think of tim reed and tim O’Donnell and Ben kanute?

Agreed - I think it's a very smooth fit for Ben Hoffman, but that's just me!

My bet for Ben is Cervelo. Rumor was Lionel was close to signing with Cervelo until canyon came in last minute. Cervelo needs to put a stud on the new bike in North America and as long as Ben can get back to full Health, what a great opportunity for both parties.

The only hang up I see with Cervelo is that Hoff likes to race the Xterra race in Maui every year, with no mountain bike offering it doesn't make a ton of sense.

I would think at this stage of his career it will be something he really wants to be on. If he loves the P5x then that's great - but if not it's not worth the money v getting a speed concept, for example and feeling like you are on THE bike that will make the difference. I would have been surprised to see Lionel on anything other than the Canyon, because I think he truly believes that the Canyon is the bike that will help him over the hump.

We will see though, I am sure the Hoff will be fast no matter what he's on!

Hypothetically speaking: PON owns Cervelo. PON also owns ____ ? All Cervelos (or most of them anyway) are assembled by ____ in ____ , USA?

Team Timex is no longer is it not? Interesting to see what happens with Trek athletes and team?
