The mountain bike off-season this year has been almost as interesting as the actual season with teams like Intense Factory Racing winding up, big-name riders without rides for the 2024 season, and the rumor mill of who will be riding where in full swing. Greg Minnaar, of course, has been the main subject of debate as the GOAT left Santa Cruz Syndicate after 16 years of stunning success, and if the rumor mill is to be believed, and it seems like a good bet, he'll be riding for the Norco Downhill Team this year.
One super exciting but unexpected bombshell move in the downhill mountain biking world is Thibaut Daprela signing for the Canyon CLLCTV. Canyon announced the latest addition to its fully loaded team and it sees the balls-to-the-wall flamboyant Frenchman joining Luca Shaw, Troy Brosnan, Henry Kerr, and Mille Johnset in an absolutely packed with talent downhill team for 2024.
